Paradise Beaches Nearby
The Azure Blue Sea of Sardinia
Looking east from the garden, you can already spot a thin blue line of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Via Via Centrale, you can reach the stunning beaches and the azure blue sea—one of Sardinia’s trademarks—within just 2.5 km.
Within less than 10 km from the house, you’ll find breathtaking beaches such as Cala Sinzias, Punta Molentis, Cala Pira, Iki Beach, Spiaggia di Sant'Elmo, Santa Giusta, and many more. These beaches are among the most beautiful in all of Sardinia, featuring crystal- clear water, white sand, and impressive rock formations that offer shelter from the wind.
Each beach has its own character: from lively beaches with bars and restaurants to quiet coves where you can completely unwind. Perfect for families with children as well as couples seeking romance.
Green Oasis in the Mountains
Sette Fratelli Nature Park
From the terrace, you can see the mountains and the Sette Fratelli nature park to the west. Spanning ten thousand hectares of forest across the mountains, this area is one of the greenest and most fascinating places in Sardinia.
The mountain range consists of seven peaks—hence the name Sette Fratelli (Seven Brothers)—reaching heights of around 1,000 meters. Scenic drives and challenging hikes are highly recommended here. The area offers spectacular views, waterfalls, and a rich variety of flora and fauna.
In summer, the mountains provide welcome cooling, while in spring the entire area blooms with wildflowers. A paradise for nature lovers, photographers, and hikers looking for authentic Sardinia, far from the tourist crowds.
History & Culture
Nuraghe Moros & Castiadas
A short distance from Casa Moros lies Nuraghe Moros, one of the 6,500 towers built in Sardinia during the Bronze Age. These mysterious structures form one of the island’s most important archaeological heritages and offer a fascinating glimpse into the ancient civilization that lived here thousands of years ago.
In Castiadas, you’ll find the former prison. This penal colony was established in 1875 and at one point became the largest prison camp in Italy, covering more than 6,000 hectares and housing around 2,000 inmates. The prison was closed in 1952, but the development of the region had already begun.
The old building, complete with a small museum and cells furnished with wooden beds, can still be visited and offers an impressive insight into the harsh living conditions of the past. The history of Castiadas is unique and forms an intriguing contrast with the peace and beauty that characterize the area today.
Vibrant Coastal Town
Villasimius – The Heart of the Coast
Via a breathtaking coastal road or a route through the mountains, you’ll reach the beautiful town of Villasimius in about fifteen minutes. Quiet during winter, but in the tourist season it buzzes with life, offering evening markets, entertainment, restaurants, and gelaterias.
Villasimius is the perfect blend of Italian charm and beach life. During the day, you can explore boutiques, enjoy a coffee on a terrace, or visit the local market. In the evening, the town comes alive with music, cozy restaurants, and a lively atmosphere.
The marina just outside town is also worth a visit, with beautiful yachts and several stylish restaurants overlooking the boats and the sea. An ideal spot for a romantic dinner at sunset.
Culinary Delights
Food & Drink in the Area
On the nearby beaches, you can enjoy great food at various chioscos or beach restaurants. Tamatete and Maklas at Cala Sinzias are local favorites, though it would be a shame not to explore the many others. Away from the sea and just a short drive inland, Araxi e Mari offers a typical Sardinian dining experience with a refined kitchen.
During summer, several agriturismos serve extensive menus at very reasonable prices. Pizzeria Su Tostoini nearby, or Pizza Folle in Olia Speciosa, are highly recommended.
In Villasimius, Sa Tankitta is a standout, while Le Anfore is also delicious and welcoming. In summer, Villasimius is packed with restaurants to try. Gelateria Amore Mio is a must for lovers of authentic Italian ice cream. On Sunday mornings, visiting pasticceria La Perla for a cappuccino, a freshly squeezed orange juice, and a pastry is a true ritual.
Sardinian specialties to discover include maialetto arrosto sardo (roast suckling pig), fregola, gamberi rossi, pane carasau, malloreddus, pecorino sardo, sebadas, pardulas, and much more. The Sardinian kitchen is rich in flavor and rooted in pure, local ingredients.
Whether you want to relax on the beach, hike in the mountains, soak up culture, or enjoy incredible food — the surroundings of Casa Moros offer something for everyone. Sardinia at its finest!
