Description

The accommodation is located on the ground floor with an independent entrance that opens onto a wide, quiet and characteristic street in the neighborhood and is composed of a living room with kitchenette, bathroom with shower, a double bedroom (160X190 cm bed). Being a completely renovated building (in 2024), originally built no earlier than the 19th century, and dating back to the first half of the 20th century in his internal structure, as in many other lodgings in the historic centre, the windows of the bathroom and bedroom overlook a shaft while the living room-kitchen window overlooks the street, therefore it is not particularly bright but the ventilation is still adequate. On the other hand, the thick stone walls make it comfortable in winter and cool in summer. For the comfort of guests, the accommodation is however equipped with air conditioning and a dehumidifier.

You will stay in the heart of one of the most characteristic and peaceful historic districts of Cagliari, Villanova born in the XIII century, but at the same time you will be a few steps from the centre, from the places of culture and city life, on the edge of a pedestrian area made up of suggestive streets, squares, monuments but also excellent clubs and restaurants.

On the street where the accommodation is located, the parking space is for residents only, but a few minutes walk away you’ll find paid car park on the street and in a multi storey garage. Furthermore very close there are bus stops, grocery stores, shops, the opera house and the port, the train station (connected to the airport) and suburban buses at 1800 m.

From the airport you can reach the city by train in 5 minutes at a cost of €1.30. From the station you can take a walk of about 15 minutes (1500 m) or take a bus which stops a few meters from the house (line no. 7) and which makes a circular route through all the historic districts. On foot it is possible to reach and visit the entire city center (Stampace and Marina districts) and the upper city (medieval Castello district), where there are shops, restaurants, public parks, museums.

The district:

Villanova (Biddanoa in Sardinian) was born in the XIII century. when the inhabitants of the Campidano countryside settled on the edge of the ancient city for commercial reasons. The district continued to develop until the 1930s, which is why among its streets you can find ancient monuments (such as the 5th century Basilica of S. Saturnino) and neo-classical buildings (the former powder magazine at the Public Gardens ), neo-Gothic (the former municipal slaughterhouse), liberty (Palazzo Valdes), rationalist (war memorial and Carabinieri legion). Nearby the Municipal Art Gallery (which preserves the famous “mother of the Killed” by Francesco Ciusa) and the archaeological museum where you can admire the Giants of Monte Prama. The neighborhood does not disappoint even lovers of cuisine and nightlife as it is full of restaurants and clubs of various kinds. There is no shortage of services such as grocery stores, laundries, shops, etc.

Today it is a lived-in but peaceful district, partly pedestrian area and partly restricted traffic area, ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the daily life of the city.
