The Blancamar Estate is located in the Cannai Plain, one of the most picturesque areas of the island of Sant’Antioco, known for its unspoiled landscapes, deep silence, and genuine nature. This region is a treasure trove of history, culture, and biodiversity, where Mediterranean scrub alternates with gentle hills, dry stone walls, ancient paths, and pastures. It is here that the Nuragic peoples settled thousands of years ago, leaving behind impressive remnants such as the Grutti ‘e Acqua complex, one of the most significant on the island, and the Giant's Tomb “Su Niu ‘e su Crobu,” which is located not far from the estate.
The location is perfect for those who wish to immerse themselves in history and nature while remaining close to the sea. In just a few minutes, you can reach the beaches of Coaquaddus and Cala Sapone, known for their crystal-clear waters and stunning cliffs. Nearby, you will also find the more secluded beaches of Turri and Capo Sperone, ideal for those seeking tranquility, as well as the spectacular natural pool of Arco dei Baci, also known as Is Praneddas, where a swim becomes a memorable experience.
The area provides numerous opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts: trekking among archaeological sites and scenic viewpoints, quad biking or horseback riding from nearby centers, and water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving in the more sheltered bays. It is also possible to take boat trips or participate in fishing tourism experiences to explore the island from the sea and enjoy the catch of the day on board.
About 10 kilometers away lies the lively town of Sant’Antioco, rich in history, museums, artisan shops, and waterfront cafes. Here, you can visit unique places like the Ferruccio Barreca Archaeological Museum, the hypogeal village, the early Christian catacombs beneath the basilica, and the Museum of Bisso, where Chiara Vigo preserves the ancient art of sea silk. In the evening, the waterfront and the main street become perfect spots for a stroll, an aperitif, or a seaside dinner.
To the north, the village of Calasetta is also worth a visit, with its white and blue houses, sandy beaches, and vineyards overlooking the sea. From here, you can take a ferry to the island of San Pietro and visit Carloforte, a unique Ligurian village in Italy, renowned for its red tuna cuisine and tabarkino couscous.
Thus, the Cannai Plain is the ideal starting point for a journey that combines nature, sea, archaeology, and authentic flavors in a corner of Sardinia that remains genuine, peaceful, and full of beauty.
