The area where Casa Casti is located is one of the most captivating and wild regions of southwestern Sardinia. We are situated in the district of Sant’Antonio di Santadi, within the territory of Arbus, a place that remains genuine and not heavily developed, characterized by a landscape of gentle hills, pastures, Mediterranean scrub forests, and views that stretch out toward the sea. It is a spot where time seems to slow down, perfect for those looking to rejuvenate amidst nature.
Just a short drive away are some of the most stunning beaches along the Costa Verde: from Pistis, with its shallow sandy bottoms ideal for families and children, to the vast golden expanses of Torre dei Corsari, which are buffeted by the wind and framed by tall dunes. Further on lies Piscinas, a unique natural wonder in the Mediterranean, featuring dunes that rise up to 100 meters and plunge into a clear, untamed sea.
The inland areas offer equally breathtaking scenery. Behind the agriturismo stands Monte Arcuentu, a volcanic mountain range that dominates the landscape and provides numerous hiking trails. By ascending its paths, one can enjoy stunning views and encounter mouflons, hares, hawks, and many other species typical of Sardinian wildlife.
Nearby is the village of Marceddì, an ancient fishing village overlooking a brackish lagoon inhabited by pink flamingos and other aquatic species. Here, traditional fishing practices can still be observed, and visitors can savor dishes made from the freshest fish. By crossing the charming wooden bridge, one can access the Oristano coast, which boasts the spectacular beaches of Is Arutas, famous for its white quartz sand, and the archaeological site of Tharros, overlooking crystal-clear waters.
The region is also rich in historical and cultural evidence: the mines of Montevecchio, located about half an hour away, tell the story of a bygone industrial past, which is still visible in the mining villages and guided tours. Arbus and Guspini offer interesting insights into the local culture, featuring crafts, religious traditions, and gastronomy.
Thus, Casa Casti serves as an ideal starting point for exploring an authentic territory where the sea and mountains converge, and nature retains all its strength and beauty.
