Villasimius

We recommend the small town of Villasimius to those who would like to spend their holiday in a quiet and peaceful location. Although there are many visitors coming from the surrounding towns to enjoy a lovely time in town, sit into a bar or restaurant or go for a walk on the beautiful streets. Just like any other part of Sardinia Villasimius does not lack either of the stunning, tropical sandy beaches and the clear waters.

Visit the fourth largest island of Italy built by Roman: Sant’Antioco. Take a walk around the Phoenician cemeteries and the ancient town of Sulci. After that you can visit the island of San Pietro,which is just in the neighborhood, and its mysterious catacombs. Admire the beautiful pastel colored houses and the cobbled streets.
