Nature house in IGLESIAS

This fine nature house is located in the hills just outside the town of Iglesias, in southwestern Sardinia. The house has just been restored using natural building and insulation materials. Because of the lime plaster walls and cork as insulation material, the house has a very pleasant living environment. The nature house is located in a beautiful and quiet valley amidst the special Mediterranean maquis, stone and cork oaks and a richly varied orchard (100% organic) that gives something to enjoy all year round. Especially in the spring and autumn, but often also in the winter months, the temperature is pleasant and you can fully enjoy the peace and nature here. The 200 meters long and narrow road leading to the cottage becomes unpaved and quite steep at the end. This is a bit of a scare the first time, but even with an ordinary car it is quite possible to drive up and down this road.

The coast is about 10 kilometers away. Impressive rock formations alternate with beautiful, long, but also small, quiet sandy beaches. Outside the main season, you are virtually alone here lying or walking. This part of Sardinia also has a number of extensive nature reserves where beautiful walks and bike rides can be made. In the nature house there are hiking maps and booklets with extensively described hiking routes. The capital Cagliari is also well worth a visit. The covered fish market San Benedetto is full of life in the morning and you will find a wide variety of freshly caught fish. At the National History Museum, a rich collection charts the extraordinary history of Sardinia. If you then visit the Nuraghe of Barumini with this knowledge, this pre-Bronze Age settlement becomes even more impressive. But you can also go sailing or canoeing along the coast, go horseback riding or climbing.... too many to mention. Once here, the landlords are happy to help provide more detailed information depending on personal interests.
