Historic Centre Stays: Apartments in the Heart of Olbia

Walk to everything: Living on Corso Umberto and the Old Town

To truly understand Olbia, you must wake up inside its ancient walls. Staying in the Historic Centre (Centro Storico) means the city is your living room. Step out of your door onto cobbled streets, grab a morning espresso at a piazza café, and walk to dinner under warm evening lights without ever needing a taxi.

Our Old Town collection places you directly on or near Corso Umberto. These renovated suites combine the romance of historic architecture with the modern comfort you actually feel: adjustable air conditioning, reliable WiFi, and calmer nights behind double glazed windows even when the city is alive outside.
🏛️ Old Town tip: If you love evenings out, this is the easiest base. You walk home instead of timing taxis, and you can decide spontaneously: one more glass of wine, or early sleep, with zero logistics.
