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.

Location

The municipality of Monteleone Rocca Doria covers an area of approximately 13 square kilometers in the northwestern part of Sardinia. Geographically, the village is located about 150 kilometers northwest of the regional capital, Cagliari. Within the local region, it is situated between 28 and 40 kilometers south of Sassari and roughly 35 kilometers east of the coastal city of Alghero. A significant geographical feature is the Invaso Alto Temo, a reservoir that borders the municipal territory and defines the landscape. The settlement holds a strategic position in the hinterland of the Riviera del Corallo and belongs administratively to the Metropolitan City of Sassari.

Nature

The nature surrounding Monteleone Rocca Doria is significantly influenced by the Invaso Alto Temo. This reservoir serves as a central element in the otherwise hilly inland landscape. The surroundings offer typical Sardinian vegetation and broad views over the Sassari region. The combination of water bodies and the gentle elevations of the Riviera del Corallo makes the local geography interesting for nature observation.
