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.

Casa Querce
Location: Pula
Beach: 4km
Shops: Pula 2km
• One of our most popular villas • Stunning gardens
The first thing you’ll notice as you enter the grounds of Casa Querce is the sheer
size of the immaculately kept lawns and gardens. There is a glassy pond surrounded
by reeds, flowering shrubs of oleander and shimmering pampas grass. The general
atmosphere is overwhelmingly rural despite the lively town of Pula being only a
couple of kilometres away. The gardens also conceal what is probably the property’s
jewel: the dazzling pool. Surrounded by sculpted rock gardens and low shrubs,
this area gets the sun all day long – though you can seek shade under some nearby
holm oak trees and mature lentisco – and it is as inviting and peaceful as you could
hope for. At the centre of the grounds stands the ochre coloured house. All on
one level it has a cool, alluring interior. The split-level lounge area is decorated
with a number of unusual artefacts from the owner’s extensive travels and there is
traditional Sardinian furniture, which is set off against the white walls. The wellequipped and sizeable kitchen opens out onto a large terrace area perfect for
soaking up the sun and for extended meal times.

a new addition to our programme and provides the perfect opportunity to explore
southern Sardinia from your very own home-from-home. The house itself is a mix of
traditional features, personal touches and modern facilities, striking the right balance
between being quaint and comfortable. Arranged on one floor with an open plan
living area and two bedrooms, we think it would particularly appeal to a couple or
a small family. Outside facilities include a private pool which benefits from the sun all
day long, a covered terrace with wonderful views and a built-in barbecue, perfect for
those al fresco lunches. There are many sites worth visiting in the area – get lost in the
narrow lanes of Cagliari’s Citadel and enjoy the majestic views over the city, sea and
mountains from one of the many café terraces. This part of town also offers a fantastic
collection of museums, archaeological remains and historic churches. Or if you’d
rather have a lazy day out, head for Poetto beach – a 6km stretch of white sand lined
with funfairs, bars and pizzerias, and very popular in the summer with the locals.

understated luxury and boasts an enchanting setting amid peaceful and beautifully
kept gardens. There are only 19 rooms here – all elegantly furnished and arranged
with meticulous attention to detail, and each with a private terrace or balcony
overlooking the pool or the garden area. There is also a small wellness centre
exclusively for the hotel’s guests, with a hydro-massage pool, sauna, massage
room and fitness room. Whilst there is no restaurant on site, there are a few highly
recommended trattorie nearby, each one offering authentic cuisine and a genuine
taste of Sardinian hospitability. And if you consider yourself a beach lover, the area
will surely not disappoint: with its silky sand, white dunes and turquoise sea, Chia is
one of the most attractive beach spots on the island, whilst Nora offers an exquisite
horse-shoe bay lapped by crystal clear water.

• An intimate hotel between Pula and Nora • Hotel with character
The Nora Club Hotel is immersed in lush greenery, and is situated only a short
distance from sandy beaches and the archaeological site of Nora. This property
would particularly appeal to those looking for a small and friendly base with an intimate
atmosphere and a welcoming feel. It is built in a traditional Sardinian style, with the
emphasis on simple elegance and “arte povera” – solid wooden furnishings, crisp
white textiles and mellow Sardinian terracotta floors. 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. Nora Club Hotel is an ideal option for couples seeking a
comfortable base to explore the wonders of southern Sardinia.

• Fantastic beachside location • Excellent service
Peacefully located on the south western coast of Sardinia, Hotel Aquadulci offers
contemporary accommodation and excellent service amid stunning scenery.
The hotel is a mere stroll away from Spiaggia Su Giudeu, one of the best loved
beaches on the south west coast. With its backdrop of the Sulcis mountains, the
hotel is separated from a long sandy beach by an inland lagoon which is frequently
visited by large numbers of flamingos. Built around a luscious lawned garden
boasting tall palm trees and a large pool, the delightful setting of Aquadulci will
undoubtedly appeal to anyone looking for a relaxing beach holiday. The hotel
features 41 rooms, all equipped with modern amenities and tastefully arranged
in a minimalist and sophisticated style. While most rooms are positioned to take
advantage of the views across the luxuriant grounds – some of the upper rooms
boast views of the shimmering Mediterranean (upgrade supplements apply).
You will be spoilt for choice at the “Capo Spartivento” restaurant, where you will
be presented with a good selection of regional and Italian dishes in addition to an
impressive wine list. For the more active guests, there really is plenty to do in the
area including horse-riding, water sports, golf, boat trips and much more...

• An elegant seaside hotel • Close to bustling Villasimius
This splendidly elegant hotel is set on the coast just to the south of Villasimius.
The architecture is just delightful – Hotel Cala Caterina is built from local stone in
a traditional Mediterranean style with frescoed walls and long shady colonnades.
Situated on either the ground or first floor, the rooms are all tastefully furnished in
elegant pastel shades, with painted wooden furniture, marble topped tables and a
terrace or balcony. Each room is subtly different, perhaps with the addition of a piece
of antique furniture or a locally made wall hanging, which contributes to the personal
feel of the property. The hotel restaurant offers delicious Italian and European cuisine,
and the large azure swimming pool area provides ample space for relaxing in the sun
or shade. Just a short walk through the lovely gardens, pine trees and palm-fringed
lawns, lies the Cala Caterina beach – a small bay edged with smooth granite rocks,
crystal clear water and a white sandy beach well equipped with loungers and sun
shades. There are plenty of sporting activities available nearby, including water sports
and boat trips, tennis, scuba diving and horse-riding.
Book by 30th Apr 2013 for 10%
discount on the accommodation price.
Visit Villasimius by night – a
traditional town which bustles in
the summer with its array of bars,
boutiques and pizzerias.
