8. Bosa
Our last favorite Italian town is actually a medieval village in Sardinia, and it’s also known as “Sa Costa.” It is divided into two parts by the Temo River. As the area’s only navigable river lures kayak lovers, its waters reflect the multicolored buildings of the ancient district.
Here simple artisan homes are juxtaposed with grand palazzos of glossy pink magmatic rock.
Long ago, Bosa was renowned for its leather-making industry, and it still has historical boutiques, where the art of tannery has been passed down from generation to generation, as well as stores selling asphodel baskets and coral jewelry.
While here, the biggest draw is the Castle of Serravalle which overlooks the town. It was built by the Tuscan Malaspina family sometime in the 12th century. Be sure to pack your camera to snap some memorable shots of this beautiful place!
