About this house rental
Abba Arrubia is a farmhouse located in the Castiadas plain, in a quiet valley at the foot of the Sette Fratelli Park and open towards the sea of south-eastern Sardinia: On the land, located on the bank of a stream, there is a Mediterranean scrub forest (oaks, carob trees, strawberry trees, myrtle, lavender and other native species), olive trees and fruit trees are grown. The little anthropized and landscape protected environment has proven to be the ideal place to build, according to the principles of bio-architecture, a structure that fits into the natural context without altering its balance, respecting environmental sustainability, allowing the healthy energy of the place to be perceived even inside the buildings. The pristine environment, the strategic position, the eco-sustainability, the presence of adults only and the excellent condition of the structure make Abba Arrubia perfect as a holiday home able to give one or two couples, or a small group of friends, beautiful moments of relaxation and tranquility in a truly exclusive place just a few minutes from the crystalline beaches of Costa Rei and Villasimius and the main services.
The structure and the systems are built according to bio-architectural principles: wooden roofs and attics, ventilated and breathable roofs, ecological paints, anti-radon crawl spaces, load-bearing walls, natural terracotta floors, latex mattresses, copper skirting board heating.
The energy requirement, in compliance with environmental sustainability, is ensured by photovoltaic and solar panels and it is possible to recharge electric cars. The water is drinkable and is extracted from a well dug into the granite. The bio-architecture techniques with which the structure is built allow for a lower temperature on summer days than outside and at night the fresh air of the countryside allows for excellent rest.
The structure is in fact included in the circuit ‘Nature, beauty and Tourism’ promoted by Legambiente.
The location of Abba Arrubia is very interesting: just 10/15 minutes by car there are some of the most beautiful beaches in the area, characterized by fine sand and crystal clear sea (Feraxi, Costa Rei, Cala Sinzias, San Giovanni just to name a few); a few kilometers away there are grocery stores, bars, restaurants, bakeries, fishmongers, butchers, dairies, oil mills that offer local products. Km Zero here is the norm.
A little further away are the towns of Muravera (north) and Olia Speciosa (south) with all the services (medical service, supermarkets, herbalist, pharmacy, travel agencies, banks, post office and any type of shop). An hour's drive away is the city of Cagliari, its port, its airport and the historical and tourist attractions of an ancient city overlooking the sea.
Nearby you can practice many sports: horse riding, cycling, sailing, canoeing, scuba diving, water skiing, golf, trekking and parachuting and rent small planes. A half-hour drive away is the tourist port of Villasimius, where you can rent dinghies and boats in the Marine Protected Area of Capo Carbonara.
From Abba Arrubia you can choose between numerous beaches. The beach of Feraxi, north of Capo Ferrato, reachable by car in 10 minutes, is incredibly wild and almost deserted even in high season. This beach has dark sand and the sea water is therefore very warm. Furthermore, the water remains shallow for a long stretch and is therefore ideal for swimming and walking in the water.
South of Capo Ferrato, about 15 minutes by car, there are small beaches and the large, white beach of Costa Rey, 10 km long, with crystal-clear sea and emerald green water.
The property is located at the foot of the Sette Fratelli Regional Park, which can be explored via marked trails.
Equally evocative are the panoramic trails on the cliffs of Capo Ferrato and Capo Carbonara and around the numerous coastal lagoons, habitat of numerous protected species of birds, among which pink flamingos stand out. The entire south-eastern coast up to Cagliari has pristine beaches and evocative panoramas. If you love archaeology, just over an hour from Abba Arrubia is one of the most important sites in Sardinia, the Nuraghe Arrubiu, an enormous megalithic construction from the 10th-8th centuries BC. C. Near Abba Arrubia (4/5 km) there are also some excellent typical restaurants, agritourism and fish tourism as well as small supermarkets, pizzerias, bars and the best artisan bakery in the area. This historical-geographical area (Sarrabus) also has a valuable production of red wines (cannonau, monica) and white wines (vermentino, nuragus), well represented by the Cantina di Castiadas.
For festive or religious events, each town in the surrounding area organizes festivals, parades in traditional costume, music and song festivals at different times of the year.
Worth mentioning are the Orange Festival, which has become one of the most important folk events in Sardinia (last Sunday in April, Muravera), Sant’Elisio, the largest folk and religious procession in Sardinia (Cagliari, May 1st), the summer parade of ancient traditional masks (August, Muravera), without forgetting the various bread, goat, fish, wine and ravioli festivals, cycling events such as ‘Felici in bici’, those dedicated to mushrooms (Foreste in festa), motorcycle and vintage car rallies.

Enrico is an excellent host. He is kind, friendly, extremely helpful, accommodating and responsive. The house was very clean. It was very well equipped. The courtyard was a great place for small children to play. We’ll be back in the future. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.

I can't say enough about how wonderful our stay at Enrico's vacation rental in Sardinia was! The location in the middle of the green mountains was simply stunning and the apartment itself was spotlessly clean with everything we
needed. Thanks to many loving details in the furnishing, we felt very comfortable here right away.
But what really made this stay unforgettable was Enrico's exceptional hospitality. He was so friendly and open-minded and gave us many valuable tips for trips in he area, restaurants and shops. We really felt at home and enjoyed every moment of our stay. If you are looking for a perfect holiday, then Enrico's apartment in Sardinia is definitely the right choice!

Ci siamo innamorati a prima vista di questa struttura. L'appartamento (oleandro) e' quanto di meglio potessimo sperare per le nostre vacanze in questa parte meravigliosa della Sardegna. Spazioso, luminoso, e funzionale.C'e' tutto quello che serve e anche di piu'. Sembrava di essere a casa. la posizione poi e' proprio cio' che cercavamo, a 15 minuti dalle spiagge di costa rei ed immersa in una pacifica campagna. Enrico poi ha fatto si che la nostra esperienza sia stata ancor piu' meravigliosa.
Non abbiamo alcun dubbio che, se dovessimo tornare in questa zona, Abba Arrubia sara' la nostra unica scelta. Grazie da tutti noi
