CASA ALICE 6

Sardegna - Sud Sardegna - CASTIADAS

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). Casa Alice is located in the heart of Monte Gruttas, a small hamlet in the territory of Castiadas which, with its 13 km of coastline and enchanting landscapes surrounded by greenery, represents one of the most picturesque municipalities in the historic region of Sarrabus . In fact, at the end of the 19th century, it became the seat of the Penal Colony, the largest agricultural penal structure in Italy, created with the aim of reclaiming a marshy and unhealthy area, utilising the work of prisoners who had to serve their sentences. The colony ceased its activity in the early 1950s when the Ente di Trasformazione Fondiaria e Agraria della Sardegna (ETFAS) - Land and Agricultural Transformation Authority of Sardinia - acquired the management of the territory by implementing the agrarian reform and assigning the farms derived from the expropriation to farmers in order to revitalise Sardinian agriculture. The original marble plaque hanging proudly on the wall identifies Casa Alice as “Podere n° 17 – San Ugo“. A farmhouse restored and furnished with passion by the owner who preserved its authenticity: light switches in refined porcelain, the original floors, an old wood-burning stove, furnishing purchased in Provence, the original internal staircase, a stable transformed into a prestigious wine cellar, all giving the property a retro soul and making it ideal for those looking for peace and quiet without sacrificing the style.

Interior:

Casa Alice consists of the main house and an annex about 10 m away. MAIN HOUSE. It consists of two floors connected internally. The main entrance leads to the kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace, furnished with unique vintage-style elements and with direct access to the beautiful veranda enclosed by folding glass doors facing the garden, with a large table, a wood-burning stove, a small sitting area with sofa and armchairs, a TV and a fireplace; communicating with the kitchen is a windowed bathroom with shower. The original 1950s staircase leads up to the first floor with two double bedrooms overlooking the garden and pool. ANNEX. Located in the garden at the back of the house, it consists of a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom with shower. Adjacent to the annex, with separate entrance, is the laundry room.

Park:

Casa Alice, with its 1000 sq m of enclosed garden, is immersed in a beautiful enchanted atmosphere in the quiet of the countryside; a well-kept lawn with fruit trees such as lemons, apricots and medlars while beautiful native holm oaks, olive trees and bushes of broom provide precious areas of shade; in the front part of the garden, facing the beautiful living area enclosed by folding glass doors, is a built-in barbecue, a wood-burning oven, a large bamboo sofa with cushions and a small decorative arch with climbing vines that contains a small table and two chairs. From this area it is possible to reach the swimming pool and the solarium. At the entrance is a large parking area in gravel with a wooden pergola. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool is located on a terrace about 20 m from the house, at a lower level, and is reached across the garden. Rectangular and lined in PVC, it measures 4 x 6 m with the depth varying between 1.40 and 1.70 m. There is a removable steel ladder with 3 non-slip steps for access to the water and it has salt purification, heating and both internal and external lighting.

TO DO

Location and distances


Pearl of the south-eastern coast of Sardinia, Castiadas is a succession of scenarios of white sand and dazzling colours against the backdrop of the mountainous silhouette of the oasis ot the Setti Fratelli, a nature park consisting of rocks shaped by time and woods inhabited by rare animal species, such as deer and moufflons, ideal for relaxing walks and dotted with canyons, towers and valleys crossed by rivers, and rich in Pre-Nuragic, Nuragic and Roman archaeological sites. Its 13 km of coastline makes it one of the most beautiful stretches of Sardinia in a succession of marvellous coves: a small corner of paradise is Cala Pira where the sand, mixed with tiny coral fragments and illuminated by the rays of the sun assumes pink shades. The soft, fine sand of Cala Sinzias, interspersed with a dense vegetation of junipers, lentisks, marine pines and olive trees, is typical of the landscape of the east coast. Among the intense scents of wild flowers and Mediterranean scrub, is Cala sa Figa, reachable only by sea or on foot along a path and dominated by the panoramic lighthouse of Capo Ferrato, a place where silence reigns and the only sounds are those of the waves and the chirping of the crickets: the contrast of the crystal-clear turquoise water and the lush green vegetation with the dark volcanic rock characterises Cala Monte Turnu which, exposed to the winds, is much appreciated by surfers and kitesurfing enthusiasts. Scoglio di Peppino is a picturesque granite rock which, with its tapered shape extending for hundreds of metres and designing a long white strip in front of an emerald green sea, flows into the splendid beach of Costa Rei, which stretches for 10 km. This area is perfect for the extraordinary integrity of its environmental heritage, where it is possible to make various excursions, on foot or by mountain bike, on horseback or with off-road vehicles, making it the ideal destination for a relaxing holiday where guests can sit back and forget their hectic everyday life.
