Location
The resort is on the western coast of Sardinia which is less developed. Visitors can hike through pristine nature and along the quiet beaches. The regional capital of Oristano (20 minutes) with its old churches, elegant squares and winding streets is worth a day trip. The ruins of the ancient town of Tharros (40 minutes) also make an interesting day out.

For shopping Oristano has lots of smaller independent shops, which make a welcome change to the usual chain stores. The city has a fantastic market, the Mercato Civico, where you will be able to pick up the best and freshest local produce.

Alghero Airport is a 2-hour drive from the resort. Airport transfers can be arranged.
