South Sardinia
A land of a thousand shapes
and countless hues
The unique features of the island have been celebrated since ancient times, when populations of traders and conquerors made Sardinia their home. An island with a distinctive character, it stands out for its rich natural landscape and the hospitality of its people. The coast is dotted with spectacular beaches which embrace the south of the island with Mediterranean colours and scents. To discover the history of this land, why not visit the charming Roman ruins of Nora, just a few miles from the hotel, and many other heritage sites that dot the area. For lovers of tradition, several folk celebrations and festivals draw visitors to this part of the coast year round. Not to be missed is the charming festival of Sant’Efisio, held every year on 1 May, without fail, since 1657. This colourful religious procession features folk groups in traditional costumes from all over the island. The procession ends in the Romanesque church at Nora beach, which was consecrated in 1102.
