Great ride on the SS127
We leave from the gas station parking lot in Bosa, near our hotel, and turn onto the SP49, a scenic road that takes us along the coast to Alghero. There are several small parking areas along the way where you can stop to photograph the beautiful views.
Once you arrive in Alghero, it's definitely worth planning a longer stop. There's plenty to see and do here, and it's a lovely town to explore, but also a great place to enjoy a delicious brunch in one of the restaurants, such as those near the harbor. The town also boasts several small museums, such as the coral museum "Museo del Corallo di Alghero," housed in an elegant Art Nouveau villa.
We drive on the SS127 and SS131 around Lago Del Cuga and Lago Bidighinzu to the town of Thiesi, where we turn left and continue on the SP23 and SP41, which again treat us to many bends and nice little villages with cafes where you can stop for a drink.
Just before the town of Sassari, there's a small pizzeria, L'Oasi Bar Ristorante, where you can have lunch before continuing along the scenic SS127. You might consider continuing on and making a longer stop for lunch in Sassari, a university town in northern Sardinia, where you can enjoy delicious food, shop, and admire the magnificent palaces!
The SS127 offers us many beautiful curves, hairpin bends, and stunning panoramas of the beautiful green countryside. The road is mostly two lanes wide, but there are also some narrower sections that wind delightfully through the hills. A real treat! Along this road, we pass a few small villages, but there are no sights worth stopping for.
After Laerru, we leave the SS127 and continue north on the SS134 to our destination, Castelsardo. This is another beautiful road for enjoying the scenery of Sardinia. You'll pass the "Roccia dell'Elefante," a natural rock formation in the shape of an elephant. A little further on, you can park and walk back along a footpath to get a closer look at the rock and take photos.
After this last short stop, we continue to our hotel in Castelsardo to savor this beautiful day. Castelsardo has several good hotels, and it's a small town with a beautiful beach and many charming cafes and restaurants.
I rate this route 5*****stars because of the wonderful roads, beautiful scenery and lovely villages and towns along the route.

Sardinia
About this region
Sardinia ( sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa]) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, and one of the 20 regions of Italy. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, north of Tunisia and immediately south of the French island of Corsica.
It is one of the five Italian regions with some degree of domestic autonomy being granted by a special statute. Its official name is bilingual in Italian and Sardinian: Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (English: "Autonomous Region of Sardinia"). It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city. The capital of the region of Sardinia — and its largest city — is Cagliari. Sardinia's indigenous language and Algherese Catalan are referred to by both the regional and national law as two of Italy's twelve linguistic minorities, albeit gravely endangered, while the regional law provides some measures to recognize and protect the aforementioned as well as the island's other minority languages (the Corsican-influenced Sassarese and Gallurese, and finally Tabarchino Ligurian).Due to the variety of Sardinia's ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, stretches of largely uninhabited territory, streams, rocky coasts, and long sandy beaches, Sardinia has been metaphorically described as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have extolled the beauty of its long-untouched landscapes, which retain vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.
