sa stiddiosa

“A corner of paradise”, “tropical landscape”, “a unique waterfall”, “never seen anything like it”, “a fantastic experience”, “an enchantment”, “pure magic”, “a piece of Sardinia to carry in your eyes, in your heart and on your skin forever”. Here are the comments of those who have visited sa Stiddiosa, a masterpiece of nature along the course of the river Flumendosa.

su stampu de su turrunu

A masterpiece of nature. On the overhang of a limestone wall, on the border between Sadali and Seulo, the water has dug a hole where it plunges from a height of about 8 meters to reappear, as if by magic, in a cave with a clear lake in the middle. The scenario is completed by streams of crystal clear water and rare plant essences. A unique natural monument, result of a triple karst phenomenon, will fascinate you at the gates of Barbagia, near the center of Sardinia.

is janas

Near the northern limit of the province of South Sardinia, almost in the center of the island, there is a place of legend, a fairy cavern, as the name itself testifies, hidden by waterfalls, a world of stalactites and stalagmites and rare fauna. According to ancient legend it was the home of three janas (fairies) who were petrified for having killed a monk. The walls of the cave are covered with marble flows and drapes, almost giving you the feeling that a storm of white stalactites is looming over you.

The San sebastiano lake in isili

The dam in the gorge of is Barrocus collects the waters coming from the Mannu river and has created, in the territory of Isili, the lake of san Sebastiano. The name derives from the church dedicated to the saint built on the calcareous rock in the middle of the waters of the lake. The church is reflected in the water generating a suggestive panorama with games of lights and colors.

Nuraghe arrubbiu in orroli

In Sarcidano, in central-southern Sardinia, there is one of the greatest protohistoric monuments of Western Europe, the most imposing megalithic structure of the island, as well as the only known nuraghe with five towers.
It owes its name to the red lichens that cover it almost entirely: arrubiu means red.

Flumendosa lake

Theater of fascinating excursions by boat, it will present itself to you as a shimmering stone: the waters of Lake Flumendosa sparkle and seem set among the mountains. Its narrow valley lies on the crystalline basement that forms the backbone of the whole island. The shadowy areas created by mountains and rocks that emerge from the surface complete a spectacle that you absolutely must not miss.

Nuragic Sanctuary of Santa Vittoria

The sacred monumental complex dominates the territory surrounding the giara of Serri. The archaeological area, immersed in a suggestive naturalistic context, has been frequented since the first phases of the nuragic civilization (1600 B.C.). the place has become one of the most important expressions of the nuragic religiosity.
