Sella del Diavolo
The saddle-shaped silhouette of Sella del Diavolo is one of Cagliari’s most recognisable landmarks. A scenic hiking trail winds through Mediterranean scrub to panoramic viewpoints over the Gulf of Angels, where the curve of Poetto, the city skyline and flamingo-dotted lagoons stretch below.

Sun-bathing spot beneath long rows of cream-coloured umbrellas by day, dance floor by night – Le Palmette has it all. Along the promenade, the restaurant serves the day’s freshest seafood alongside fregula (the island’s delicate toasted semolina pasta, resembling couscous) and culurgiones (Sardinia’s potato-and-mint-filled dumplings). Just minutes from Sella del Diavolo and the harbour of Marina Piccola, it’s also a perfect place to start the day before setting off to trek the saddle-shaped promontory.
