Cagliari is situated in the south of Sardinia. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate with warm summers, mild winters and moderate intermediary seasons, every period is ideal to visit the city. Besides festivals and secular sagre, which are unique for their evocative spirit and the richness of their colors, it offers museums and monuments, architecture and archaeological with different cultural influences. The Phoenicians, Romans and the people from Pisa, Aragona and Piemonte have all left their mark on our ancient city especially in the 4 districts of historical center.
Villanova (Biddanòa in Sardinian language) is the ancient suburb of farmers and artisans, made of colored terrace houses (still very well preserved) and numerous shops of carpenters and potters. Close to the b&b there is a vast choice of restaurants, pizzerie and pubs; and in the neighbors Via Manno and Via Garibaldi there are several boutiques, bookstores and craftsman shops.
The cultural sites of the zone are the Basilica of St. Saturnino, the Cloister of St. Domenico, the Art Gallery and the Lyric Theater. Among the events we signal the rites of the holy week a folk custom very appreciated by the tourists.
Castello was the ancient residence of the noble. Highest point of the city and surrounded by the medioeval walls it preserves in the rich buildings the ladylike atmosphere of the past.
It entertains numerous monuments among the most importants of the city as Cathedral, the Bastion Saint Remy, the City of museums, the Tower of the Elephant and the Tower of St. Pancrazio.
