Telti, Gallura granite in the hills behind Olbia

Telti is an inland village in Gallura, north-eastern Sardinia, on the granite hills behind Olbia. From the centre, at around 330 metres, the town and its port are a short drive away, and many residents work there or in the tourist businesses on the coast. The landscape is typical Gallura: rocks, scrub, cork oaks and stazzi, the old farmhouses scattered across the countryside.

Prices in Telti are generally lower than on the coast, with village houses, detached homes and the odd stazzo to restore. With a rural building, check access, electricity and water connections and planning compliance first. The municipal data show 3 education sites and 1 pharmacy; for everything else residents go to Olbia.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 2,217 residents in 2023, down 0.2% since 2011, so almost unchanged. The average age is 47.1, close to 46.7 for the province, and 25.5% of residents are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 4.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Seismic risk is the lowest in Italy: Telti is in zone 4, like all 26 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of 0.050 g. The climate is zone D, with hot, dry summers.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the plot. In countryside crossed by seasonal streams, the official flood maps are worth a look too.

Key points

  • Granite hills behind Olbia.
  • Population almost stable: 2,217 in 2023.
  • Seismic zone 4, like the whole province.
  • Old stazzi: check access and utility connections.

Overview

Telti is a municipality in the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 2,217 residents, ranked 18 of 26 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Telti is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 26 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 26% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 4.4% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Telti declared an average taxable income of 18,943 euros, below the provincial average (21,361 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Telti is in climate zone D, with 1,535 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 1 November to 15 April, for up to 12 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 326 metres above sea level.
