Casa Qandra

Casa Qandra is an authentic Sardinian dwelling set in extensives gardens, in the countryside between Arzachena and the quaint village of San Pantaleo. The setting is a real jewel – the sprawling grounds are filled with rock formations, Mediterranean plants, olive and mimosa trees. There are also a number of secluded spots should you wish to escape the sun for a little while or simply enjoy long leisurely lunches under the shade of a tree. And if you enjoy cooking, you will be invited to pick your own herbs and vegetables from the garden. The cottage exudes real charm and character and great effort has been made to ensure it keeps its rustic feel, blending stylish personal touches with traditional features such as chesnut beams, whitewashed walls and wooden furniture. The owner has a collection of artwork and Spanish guitars, whilst his books and tapes remain at the guests’ disposal. The nearest beaches are very accessible and the Ca’la Somara agriturismo is within walking distance, offering food ranging from inventive vegetarian fare to roast suckling pig, the local speciality. Ugo the owner and his two dogs live discreetly in the annexe attached to the house, you will see him occasionally maintaining the pool and the gardens – don’t hesitate to approach him, his local knowledge is second to none and his English impeccable.
