Viletta Pino - Strandnahe und ruhige Lage

29.07.2018 | Suse

Das kleine Häuschen befindet sich auf einem kleinen abgeschlossenen Grundstück und liegt nur wenige hundert Meter vom Strand entfernt (Sandstrand... sehr weitläufig). Wanderwege sind auch in nächster Nähe. Die Einrichtung ist einfach, aber nett - nur der Küchenschrank hat einen sehr muffigen Geruch, so dass es nicht möglich war, das Geschirr darin aufzubewahren. Für einen Strand- und Badeurlaub eine schöne Unterkunft für zwei Personen.

25.07.2018 | Anja

Kleines Ferienhaus für 2 Personen mit eigener Terrasse u. Parkplatz. Komplett eingerichtet sauber und ordentlich. Blickdichte Zäune, sodass man ungestört sitzen kann. Kurzer Fußweg zum tollen Strand. Einkausmarkt per Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Restaurants

Mirage

Set to satisfy any desire: fish, meat dishes and pizza are served directly from the open kitchen. Even though this originally small restaurant grew a bit every year, it is always very crowded. Be prepared to wait a little bit.

Trattoria da Angelo

Don't expect a menu. Since only the freshest ingredients are used the kitchen's offering varies daily. But don't worry, because everything tastes like heaven here! Maybe that is why it is almost impossible to find a place; some guests reserve a year in advance.

Places of interest, landmarks

Archeological Excavation of Nora

The city, founded by Phoenicians, is perhaps the oldest of Sardinia, as it is carved in the stele of the same name (9th-8th century BC). Nora is located 36 km from Cagliari, on a small bay sheltered from the wind. Some of the remains are from Phoenician and Carthaginian times; However, most of them are from the Roman era. Many finds are located in the Archaeological National Museum in Cagliari, but some pieces are also exhibited in the local museum in Pula. Open daily from 9:00-19:00 or until sunset.

Cities and towns

Domus de Maria

Domus de Maria is located in the deep south of the island and its territory contains a myriad of breathtaking natural wonders, ranging from the splendid and renowned beaches of the Chia district to the mountains covered by forests. The area is characterised by long beaches with imposing dunes where age-old junipers grow undisturbed and by granite peaks and luxuriant woods where it is not unusual to come across deer or boars. The territory has been inhabited since the Nuragic Age, as shown by the Baccu Idda Nuraghe and the numerous betilic stones of Punta Su Sensu. The town of Bithia was of extreme importance and is found today within the district of Chia. One of the events that cannot be missed is the Fig Festival, the sweet and succulent fruit of the Chia area, the Fish Festival in the month of May and the Feast of 's'Arroseri" in honour of the Madonna del Rosario, the Patron Saint of the village, which is celebrated on the first Sunday in October.(sardegnaturismo.it)

Pula

Crystal clear waters lap its shores, and every summer its long and sandy coast is a popular destination for a great number of tourists who help to increase the economic activity of the village. Pula is extremely well known for the important archaeological area of Nora, a large Roman amphitheatre that lies directly on the sea and is used for a music festival in summer. Pula is a lively and extremely active centre which preserves many typical urban characteristics of the lower Campidano area. It is well known for the excellence of its fruits, such as figs and the “Camona” tomatoes. The Archaeological Museum is found in the village and preserves the findings from the Nora area. The heartfelt feast in honour of Sant'efisio, the Feast of San Giovanni Battista and the Feast of Sant'Isidoro can not be missed. The beaches offer various activities such as windsurfing and sailing and for golfers, there is the Molas golf course only a few minutes away by car. (sardegnaturismo.it)
