Santu Lussurgiu - Oristano - Sardinia - Italy

Take a deep breath when you arrive near Mount Montiferru (www.laboccadelvulcano.it)just 24 km from the western coast of Sardinia, and breathe in the tranquility and magic which exists in this beautiful part of Italy.

At the centre of this enchanted area lays the captivating village of Santulussurgiu (www.comunesantulussurgiu.it) and the nearby haven of Casa Pinniscu.

Situated at the base of what was once a volcanic crater, the village will welcome you to its centuries-old centre, constructed from stones erupted from the volcano millions of years ago. Those stones will tell stories of the local wood and iron artisans, of the shepherds who for years kept the secrets of the delicious local cuisine.

If you want to take time for yourself to read, write, think, play an instrument or walk in the nature, enjoy horseback riding or windsurfing, cycling or sailing; or perhaps if feel like to rest in one of Europe’s oldest and best-preserved cultures, without being disturbed by city traffic and noises don't miss Santulussurgiu.

From this town you can reach the sea-side in 30 minutes. The travel diaries of two motorcyclists (link) will tell you all about these places. Pick and choose where to go every time you feel like having a day away:

- Sinis Peninsula with Tharros, the ancient Punic town and the Isle of Mar di Ventre
- Alghero - Capo Caccia, one of the most beautiful panoramic landscape of Sardinia’s West coast
- Marceddì, where you can taste fresh fish, buttarga and teh best pasta with clams you've ever tasted
- Bosa, with Magomadas beach, an enchanting natural architecture made out of white sand and rocks
- S'Archittu and Santa Caterina di Pittinurri , lain between turquoise sea and rocks sculptured by the waves
- Excursion if the hidden beauties of in-land Sardinia. You have a lot of options.

Here, C&R invites you to the Casa Nella Roccia (The House in the Stone), with its ancient rooms, back yard with BBQ and living room with a fireplace for you to enjoy.

From there you can easily reach untouched forests, breathtaking beaches, unspoiled landscapes which move with the slow rhythm of Sardinian life, characterized by fresh air and water and traditional food.

This house is not for ‘tourists’, but for genuine people who wants to be able to wake up and stroll into town to buy cheese, prosciutto and filu’ ferro, the local drink, distilled from red wine and spiced with the aroma of wild fennel. You can hunt for mushrooms, explore archeological sites, waterfalls and of course enjoy the seaside at the nearby San Leonardo de siete fuentes (www.schibot.org/santulussurgiu/sanleonardo.htm), where you can visit the templar Romanic 1200 century church, drink the healing water from its springs and enjoy the incredible local restaurants.
