Capitana Garden Pergola near the Beach - Quartu Sant'Elena

Your own slice of Sardinia — private, peaceful, and perfectly located
Tucked within a larger private estate on the southern coast of Sardinia, this recently renovated apartment offers something increasingly rare: genuine privacy, outdoor space, and a real sense of place — without sacrificing comfort.
The apartment is completely detached from the main house, with its own private entrance and a dedicated parking spot. Step outside and you have an entire garden to yourself — with a gazebo, outdoor dining area, and barbecue. Whether you're having a slow breakfast in the shade or grilling fresh catch from the local market, this space becomes yours from day one.
The apartment
Inside, the style is simple and tasteful — bright, airy, and well thought out. Everything you need is here: a fully equipped kitchen with oven and all cookware, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, washing machine, and hairdryer.
Sleeping arrangements work well for couples or a small group of three: one comfortable double bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the living room for a third guest.
The location
Capitana is a quiet coastal village — unhurried, authentic, and largely off the tourist radar. The semi-private Spiaggetta di Capitana is a 2-minute walk away, with calm emerald-green water and sweeping views of the southern Sardinian coastline.
From here, some of the island's most spectacular beaches are within easy reach:
<ul>
<li>Mari Pintau & Geremeas — 10 min by car</li>
<li>Solanas — 15 min by car</li>
<li>Villasimius & Costa Rei — 25 min by car</li>
<li>Poetto promenade (Cagliari) — 20 min by car</li>
<li>Cagliari city centre — 20–25 min by car</li>
</ul>
In spring and summer, Poetto comes alive with beach clubs, bars, live music, and sailing regattas at Marina Piccola. Cagliari itself is a Mediterranean gem worth at least a full day — history, markets, views, and some of the best food on the island.
Food, nature & local life
If you enjoy cooking, nearby markets are a treat: fresh-caught fish, aged Sardinian cheeses, honey, and traditional condiments. For dining out, local favourites include Tegamino Bianco, Il Saraceno, and Da Barbara — all within a short drive.
Nature lovers will find plenty to explore: trekking and cycling in Parco dei Sette Fratelli, flamingo spotting at Molentargius pond and Santa Gilla lagoon, and scenic coastal walks along the road to Villasimius, with panoramic views over hidden coves and cliffs. For wellness, Thalassos SPA is nearby — sauna, massages, and hydrotherapy.
Getting around
A car is the most comfortable option and opens up the full beauty of southern Sardinia. That said, public buses run regularly through Capitana — including on Sundays — for those who prefer not to drive.
<em>Whether you're after a quiet retreat by the sea or a well-placed base to explore the south of the island — this is it.</em>
