The hotel is situated on the south-west
coast of Sardinia between Capo Pecora and Capo Frasca, 150 meters
from a beach which extends for several kilometres. It can be
reached from Sardinian ports and airports via asphalted roads
direction Ingurtosu, once a flourishing mining settlement, now
silent and deserted.
The scenery here is of great natural beauty and a subtle
ruined fascination, the road passing under the archway of
buildings dating from 1875 - still splendid despite its state
of abandon . Descending from Ingurtosu toward the valley floor,
7 Kilometres of track wind between perfumed woods of lentisk
and juniper, punctuated by abandoned mining structures.
The last few Kilometres of the track still conserved traces
of the old railway, allowing glimpses of the original wooden
sleepers and slabs of granite.
The internal courtyard is paved with 18th Century brick tiles
and already displays some Punic and Roman artefacts, the intention
of the owner being a host to a permanent exhibition of amphorae
recovered from the surrounding seas
