Sardinia

From the Greek word for ‘happy’, it is an undisputed summer holiday destination where, kissed by the sun and rocked by the sound of the waves, a good mood is the special ingredient for enjoying the Sardinian town.

And again, an open-air archaeological museum, a visit to the Nuraghe RIu Mulinu, on the small Island of Peddone, and the famous Tomb of the Giants, located Monte e’ S’Abe, a funerary monument from the Nuragic period completely surrounded by greenery, is a must.

Nestled in the largest oak forest in Europe, it offers visitors the opportunity to explore canyons, streams and creeks, making the environment ideal for guided excursions. 

The presence of the WWF oasis in the forest underlines the commitment to biodiversity conservation. In terms of history and culture, a short drive away is the Roman city of Nora, an archaeological site that extends even below water level, providing a fascinating insight into ancient history. Nearby, the ponds of Santa Gilla offer a unique spectacle with salt pans, flamingos and suggestive paths between sea and lagoon. 

Moreover, Capoterra’s strategic location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of Sardinia.

A small municipality located in the province of Oristano and along the western coast of the island, it boasts access to spectacular beaches. These include the beach of Is Arenas, particularly renowned for its golden sand and crystal clear waters.

The area around Narbolia is also characterized by unspoiled wilderness. Here, nature lovers can explore the nearby protected area of the Sinis Peninsula and Cabras Lagoon, which offer unique habitats and rich biodiversity.

Steeped in Sardinian history and culture, there are interesting archaeological sites around Narbolia, such as the nuragic site of Santa Cristina and the ruins of Tharros, which date back to Phoenician and Punic times. 

In addition to relaxing on the beach, there are many other outdoor activities to enjoy in the small municipality: hiking or biking along coastal paths, birdwatching sessions in the nature reserve, or water sports such as windsurfing and kayaking are just some of the options available.
