Sardinia at your pace

The rooms are distributed across four beautifully restored 17th-century residences: Thermae, Mistras, Pontis, and Laguna. In addition to the main building, Thermae, which houses the reception, restaurant, and several rooms, the other three residences have been carefully renovated in an authentic Sardinian rustic style, following principles of bio-architecture. Each room is designed to evoke a nostalgic atmosphere of the past, subtly complemented by modern comforts. Every space is unique, yet all reflect the traditional Campidanese style — from reed ceilings to hand-painted curtains — preserving local heritage while ensuring a high standard of comfort. Modern amenities include viscoelastic foam mattresses, double pillows, 32-inch TV, minibar, and complimentary internet access. Breakfast is served on the terrace of the main building, which also houses the intimate SPA. Facilities include a whirlpool, chromotherapy showers, sauna, steam bath, and a relaxation area. Massages and beauty treatments are available on request. In the Mistras residence, a swimming pool is set within a lush 350 m² garden — a refreshing oasis in the heart of the village. Pontis features an equally beautiful 500 m² garden, planted with native species chosen for their distinctive Mediterranean fragrances. The team at Aquae Sinis is happy to share local insights and recommendations, and can arrange workshops and activities such as homemade pasta classes, guided visits to the fish market in Cagliari, or winery tours.

The property stands out not only for the quality of its hospitality and services but also for the meaningful social commitment it embodies. Locanda dei Buoni e Cattivi is the outcome of a social project dedicated to training and employment in the hospitality and restaurant sector providing opportunities for young people seeking a second chance and for young mothers building a more stable future for themselves and their children. A stay here supports a project founded on inclusion, dignity, and community. The B&B offers 8 rooms across three floors of a 1960s Italian townhouse, complete with a lift. The ground floor houses an acclaimed restaurant — recognised by Gambero Rosso — and a garden terrace where breakfast is served during the summer months. The location is ideal: the historic city centre can be reached comfortably on foot in around 10 minutes, while the surrounding area remains calm and easy to navigate.

The property spans three separate buildings, giving it the character of a “horizontal hotel.” The main building, Sa Corte, houses the first rooms, reception, and breakfast room, centred around a beautiful courtyard. The other two buildings, Sa Dommo and Sa Turre, are about 100 metres away, offering guests an authentic glimpse of village life. All buildings have been carefully restored, preserving original architectural features such as stone walls, wooden beams, and traditional details. The rooms are inviting and full of character, each uniquely decorated with locally crafted furnishings that reflect the area’s identity. The friendly owner, Emanuele, personally welcomes guests and is always ready to assist — even helping with parking and luggage using his small electric vehicle, adding a charming touch to the arrival experience.

While the area is famous for the Costa Smeralda, it is equally defined by its unspoilt countryside and dramatic granite formations, sculpted by centuries of wind into distinctive shapes — some even resembling elephants and bears. Housed in a traditional stazzo gallurese, a historic rural stone house, the B&B is surrounded by 50 hectares of open countryside. Just a few kilometres from the village of Arzachena, considered the heart of the Costa Smeralda, it offers both tranquillity and easy access to the coast. The rooms are minimally and tastefully decorated with handcrafted elements by local artisans. A highlight of any stay is breakfast, lovingly prepared by the owner, Caterina, whose generous homemade spreads are often remembered as some of the best of the entire journey.

Type of accommodation: Rural Bed & Breakfast

Feature: Close to the village

Number of rooms: 11

Highlights: Exceptional homemade breakfasts, warm hospitality from Caterina and Paolo, a tranquil natural setting, and an excellent location for exploring the Costa Smeralda while avoiding its busiest areas.
