Holiday Home/Apartment - 6 persons - Via dei Pioppi - 09045 - Capitana

Location:
The stand-alone house with spacious garden stands at an elevated position with sea view within a well-off and quiet residential area approximately 30 minutes drive from the Sardinian provincial capital of Cagliari. The spot is ideal for beach as well as city visits.
The neighbouring houses are permanently occupied by local Italian residents. The garden is fully enclosed by a fence, and towards the street is separated by a wall with a remote-controlled electric gate, offering good privacy.
The nearest beach "Baia Azzurra" can be rechaed by foot within 5-7 minutes through a traffic-free dirt road. The sand has a very bright color and is very fine. Because the water far out from the beach remains shallow, Baia Azzurra is well suited for small children and elderly.

Accessibility:
The drive from the airport of Cagliari takes, depending on daytime/traffic, 25-35 minutes. The airport with direct connections to many European cities is modern, efficient, and offers a good selection of international and local car rental companies. Cagliari also has a car ferry link with daily direct overnight connections to/from Civitavecchia (North of Rome).
