HANDPICKED VILLAS, APARTMENTS & HOTELS IN SARDINIA 2013 COLLECTION THE SOUTH Cagliari old town It has taken much longer for visitors to discover the incredibly wild, beautiful and unspoilt region of southern Sardinia. Less commercialised than the north of the island, the southern coastline boasts stunning beaches and crystal clear seas teeming with dramatic mountain ranges, interesting wildlife and prehistoric sites. Capital of Sardinia, Cagliari separates the south east from the south west. It is an impressive city tucked into the Golfo degli Angeli with a medieval citadel towering imposingly on the hilltop. Travelling westwards from Cagliari, the road follows the coast on a raised strip of land with the sea on one side and expansive swamplands, salt pans and a marvellous sanctuary of wildlife on the other – flamingos, herons, waders and sea birds can be seen in their hundreds along this part of the coast. Situated between the long sandy coastline of Santa Margherita and the majestic Sulcis mountain range, Pula is a bustling resort with a good selection of restaurants, pizzerie, gelaterie and bars. In the evenings, the central square is throbbing with locals and visitors enjoying the lively atmosphere in sidewalk cafés and restaurants, or browsing around the many shops 70 Southern Sardinia which stay open until very late. Pula by night is also the ideal place for an after dinner ice cream and a spot of summer’s evening people watching! During the peak of the summer months, live music and local folk dancing often take place in one of the two main squares. Not to be missed is the archaeological site of Nora nearby – the ruins of the ancient city extend as far as the headland of Capo di Pula in a spectacular setting by the sea. Further along the coastal road west of Pula are the dazzling white sand dunes of Chia and the start of the Costa del Sud – a 20km stretch and one of Sardinia’s most stunning coastlines, rugged and undeveloped hiding tranquil creeks and coves studded with Pisan and Spanish watchtowers. Few roads run along the coast, so the best way to explore is by boat or on foot. Continuing along the west coast, the road takes you through beautiful contrasts – the magnificent but scarcely visited beaches of the Costa Verde to the densely forested hills and mountains of the Iglesiente. Solanas offers the longest stretch of sand in the area, making it a real favourite with families seeking a beach holiday, whereas Porto Sa Ruxi, nestling on a rocky promontory washed on both sides by the sea, is perfect for swimming and snorkelling. Villasimius is a small town that comes alive during the summer months with a good quota of bars, boutiques, restaurants and a lively piazza. A little further, you can find Simius, another magnificent sweep of sand surrounded by turquoise and aquamarine waters, and Marina di Villasimius, a new yachting port on Golfo di Carbonara. On the east coast of the island lies the Costa Rei – this part of the island offers shimmering expanses of fine white sand, excellent swimming conditions and some of the best beaches anywhere on the island. To the east of Cagliari, the coastline is one of the most alluring on the island and is sprinkled with residential resorts such as Solanas, Porto Sa Ruxi and Villasimius.

The rooms are situated in villas grouped around the glorious pool, which is equipped with solid wooden sun loungers and canvas parasols. Each room has its own private terrace with wicker furniture. A bar is available 24 hours a day and light snacks are served until 11pm. The hotel does not have a restaurant, however with four restaurants within walking distance and others just a 5-minute drive away in Pula, you will have no shortage of opportunities to sample the local cuisine.
