Anfibia
The countryside around Bosa is a pretty crisscross of vineyards and rivers. To explore it, contact Marcello at Anfibia, who can arrange some wonderful ecotours including kayaking, cycling and visiting local vineyards. The organisation aims to put travellers in touch with local people in an effort to create a more happy and sustainable form of tourism. Tours require a group of six. Anfibia also hires out bikes and kayaks so you can do your own thing.

Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Regnos Altos
Inside Castello Malaspina is the humble-looking chapel, the Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Regnos Altos, which houses an extraordinary and anonymous 14th-century fresco cycle, a veritable who's who of famous saints ranging from a giant St Christopher through a party of Franciscans to St Lawrence in the middle of his martyrdom on the grill.

Birreria alla Corte dei Malaspina
Like everyone else in Bosa you'll find yourself settling into a routine that includes long bouts sitting in cafés along the corso just watching the world go by. In the evening things go on pretty much the same, but you might want to swap location to the cosy drinking den Birreria Alla Corte del Malaspina.

Caffè Chelo
Like everyone else in Bosa you'll find yourself settling into a routine that includes long bouts sitting in cafés along the corso just watching the world go by. The best place to do this is Caffè Chelo, an original Liberty-style café overlooking Piazza Costituzione.

Borgo Sant'Ignazio
Hidden amid the web of lanes in the heart of the old town, Sant'Ignazio has a tastefully decorated dining area that's an enticing setting for typical Sardinian dishes. This is a good place to indulge in the earthy flavours of aubergines, mushrooms, ricotta and rich meat sauces.

La Pulce Rossa
A 20-minute walk from the centre, this friendly family-run restaurant serves filling working-man’s fare at decidedly untouristy prices. For a real gut-buster try the house speciality, pennette ‘Pulce Rossa’, a rich concoction of pasta, giant prawns, cream and saffron.

Su Nuraghe
While in Bosa you'll undoubtedly try the local sweet dessert wine, Malvasia. If you want to take a bottle home you'll find a good selection at Su Nuraghe. It also stocks torrone (nougat), Sardinian sweets, olive oils, cheeses and salami.

Sa Pischedda
At the hotel of the same name, this is one of Bosa’s best restaurants. Speciality of the house is stylishly presented fish, both seawater and freshwater, but it also does excellent pizza and pasta. Reservations in summer are a good idea.

Castello Malaspina
It’s quite a climb up to Bosa’s hilltop castle, Castello Malaspina, built in 1112 by a noble Tuscan family. Note that these opening times often change, and it might well be open for longer over summer.

Ristorante Ponte Vecchio
Has a delightful seating arrangement right on the river with views across to northern Bosa and the Ponte Vecchio. The pasta is good, as are some of the fresh fish options. Other seafood mains are not so great.

Tatore
This place dishes up whatever its owners find in the fish markets that day. Hardly surprisingly the seafood pasta is good, as is the zuppa di pesce (fish soup).
