Overview
Monteleone Rocca Doria is one of Sardinia's smallest municipalities, nestled in the hilly landscape of the Metropolitan City of Sassari. With only around 100 residents, the village is among the least populated places on the island, offering a peaceful atmosphere away from major tourist hubs. The settlement is defined by its unique location in northwest Sardinia, approximately 30 to 40 kilometers from the cities of Sassari and Alghero. Due to its small population, the municipality maintains an authentic character and ranks as the second smallest commune in the entire region, following Baradili. The surrounding area is characterized by its proximity to the Invaso Alto Temo reservoir and the gentle hills of the Riviera del Corallo hinterland.

Nature
