A True Hidden Gem
We have just returned from a fantastic last-minute short break to the south of Sardinia. We wanted to experience this part of the island between Cagliari and Villasimius.
Tucked snugly up a dirt road (just 3km up from Solanas ), Villa Floris was the perfect base to explore from. Our host Alice made us feel so welcome. Her knowledge of the area is outstanding. She gave us many excellent tips for coastal viewing points, walking routes, the best coffee places and some great restaurants where the locals go.
Villa Floris itself is a modern, well-designed three- bedroom /three bathroom house with every convenience and comfort.
The first afternoon we just relaxed in the garden, enjoyed the cosy pool and had a BBQ. It really is a little oasis of calm.
The following morning (feeling like real locals), we headed back down the little dirt road to the coffee bar. Breakfast there was followed by a long walk on the nearby Solanas beach. Simply stunning!
In the evening, we had a lovely dinner in the lively town of Villasimius which is a short 20 minute drive away along the coastal road.
The next day, we headed into Cagliari for lunch and to visit the food market. A real Italian experience! We picked up some amazing fresh fish for our BBQ back in Villa Floris.
Our visit was just too short. We will certainly be back to stay in Villa Floris and explore more of this amazing part of the island. Thank you Alice for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay.
