Casa del Giglio

The house is located in S'archittu, a hamlet of Cuglieri, in the province of Oristano, west of Sardinia. We are on the seafront of the town, in a very quiet area, far from the clubs that animate the center of the seafront, but a few hundred meters from all services. The house is located 20 meters from the sea shore


The house is located in S'archittu, a hamlet of Cuglieri, in the province of Oristano, west of Sardinia. We are on the seafront of the town, in a very quiet area, far from the clubs that animate the center of the seafront, but a few hundred meters from all services. The house is located 20 meters from the sea shore and has a very nice view of the sea, both from the ground floor, from the living room, and from the upper floor, from two of the three bedrooms.

This is a magical place to visit at least once in your lifetime, an icon of the artistic “vein” of nature that has inspired directors and writers… and which is sure to inspire you too. In the northern part of the picturesque village of S'Archittu, on the Cuglieri coast - an important town in Montiferru and a historic area of the upper Oristano region - is a white cliff surrounding a delightful little beach, where an arch opens up, created by the erosive action of atmospheric agents on the sedimentary limestone rocks, termed as “lunar” thanks to the reflections generated. Originally a grotto, it is today a natural monument - specifically, s'Archittu, perfectly fused within a spectacular environment complemented by three islets shaped like a mushroom, also polished by the persistence of the waves. You can reach the cove directly from the tourist village by walking along paved path north of the houses.


The natural “bridge” is enchanting at sunset, when the orange sun seems to fit right within, almost imprisoned by the arch, ensuring your photographs will be truly remarkable. The scenic effect is beautiful even at night, illuminated by artificial lighting. Usually - and not surprisingly - only the most intrepid and experienced dive from its summit, being about 15 metres high and the setting of the 2001 World Championship of High Diving. The sheltered “beach of the arch”, on the other hand, is ideal for relaxation, its carpet of fine ochre sand flecked with golden reflections and shell fragments, extending into a shallow and sandy seabed. The panorama in the surrounds ranges from the deep blue of the sea to the green of the Mediterranean scrub. The services and amenities include ample parking, disabled access, canoe and skate rental and nearby hotels, restaurants and commercial activities.
On the ground floor there is a large living room with dining area and relaxation area and outside, on the sea side, a balcony on which to relax. The living room leads to the kitchen complete with dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven, four-burner stove and a bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. The back door leads out into a sheltered courtyard with a parking space suitable for a small car.
Going up the internal stairs leads to the upper floor where there are three bedrooms. Two bedrooms are double and both have a balcony with a beautiful view of the sea and a stretch of coast, both are air conditioned. The third bedroom is double, with two single beds and a balcony that also overlooks the back of the house, the room is not air conditioned. The sea is as if it were part of this house which is located in a very special position.
