A cool corner where one can spend hours relaxing, reading or simply enjoying the large swimming pool adds the final touch. Just plain beautiful!

Villa Elicrisio is a short drive to La Speranza a beach enclosed by hills, it seats an oyster amongst the wild nature. What a beautiful beach this is! Fine sand, transparent water and in early summer white lilies reach the sand. There is the most famous fish restaurant here on one corner and above the beach a small café bar open from dawn to dusk. The beach is free but there is an area where if you don’t want to bother with your own umbrella you can hire one here and sun loungers and chairs.

Alghero and its romantic old town can be reached within a 5/10 min drive. The road follows the coastline the sea here is a turquoise transparent mirror. From far away one can see the purple walls and the shiny cupolas.

Alghero's mansions, churches and cathedrals were built in the Middle Age with sandstone, their silhouettes rising against the cobalt blue of the sky. All around the walled citadel one after another Alghero's beaches are soft sandy dunes, which at sunset turn onto all shades of pink and purple...

Within the grounds of villa Elicrisio there is a traditional Sardinian cottage fully restored. Sleeps 4 with 2 bedrooms, open plan traditional kitchen with beautiful old terracotta tiles, spacious and new bathroom. The cottage is better suited for a small family as the top bedroom does not have a door so it is open plan. It has a tiny pool for children.
