There is a side of Sardinia that lives in the silence of millennial stones and the charm of villages frozen in time. If you are looking for a Digital Detox experience, far from the chaos of crowded beaches, the territory surrounding Villa Malvasio is an open-air treasure waiting to be explored.

The Giants of History: Nuraghi and Sacred Wells

Northern Sardinia is home to architecture that challenges modern understanding.

• Nuraghe Santu Antine (Torralba): Known as "The Palace," it is one of the few nuraghi in Sardinia that remains almost entirely intact. You can walk through internal corridors on two floors, still protected by the original towering domes.
• Santa Cristina Sacred Well: Although it requires about an hour's drive, this water temple is a masterpiece of geometric precision, unique in the world. It is a place where ancient astronomy and spirituality merge.
• Monte d'Accoddi Altar: Less than 10 minutes from our Villa, you will find the only "Ziggurat" in the Mediterranean—a stepped pyramid dating back over 5,000 years.

Faith and Legend: Basilicas and Necropolises

• Saccargia (Codrongianos): An icon of Sardinian Romanesque architecture, this basilica of black basalt and white limestone stands isolated in a silent valley.
• San Gavino (Porto Torres): The largest and oldest Romanesque church on the island, famous for its two opposing apses and its evocative early Christian crypt.
• Anghelu Ruju: One of the most extensive necropolises of "Domus de Janas" (fairy houses), where symbols carved into the rock tell the story of prehistoric cults.
  
  

Clifftop Villages and Enchanted Caves

A visit to the medieval alleys of Castelsardo, one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in Italy," is a must. Alternatively, explore the Neptune’s Grottoes at Capo Caccia, a cathedral of stalactites reachable by sea or via the 654 steps of the Escala del Cabirol.

💡 Villa Malvasio’s Tip: To fully experience the magic of these sites, we always recommend booking a tour with a specialized guide.
