The Area
Lia is located in the south of Sardinia, just 450m from the fabled beach of Santa Margherita di Pula, whose paradisiacal golden-white sands stretch for some 2km along the coastline. Served by a series of beach clubs with restaurants, bars and other facilities, it is here where you will no doubt spend much of your time while not at the villa.
In terms of other beaches in the area, there is an embarrassment of riches, with numerous irresistible options nearby. Some of the best are Su Giudeu, Tuaredda, Porto Tramatzu and Porto Pino, but there are many more.
Sardinia's capital, Cagliari is less than an hour's drive away, and the city offers plenty to see, do and experience. Its old centre, divided into four quarters, brims with architectural and historical interest, including the remains of a Roman amphitheatre, fortified towers and bastions, a 13th-century cathedral and numerous other churches. There's also a botanical garden, a great food market, an archaeological museum, a flamingo-rich nature reserve (the Molentargius Park) and, of course, plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars.
A 15-minute drive away is the colourful, vibrant-but-laid-back town of Pula, whose winning mix of narrow streets, piazzas, craft shops, boutiques, a street market (once a week), restaurants, and bars make it a pleasure to spend time in.
Other places of interest nearby include the fascinating Phoenician and Roman archaeological site of Nora (20 minutes), which occupies a peninsula above the sea; and the incredible cave complex of Is Zuddas.
A little further afield, but still within an easy day trip is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Barumini, an archaeological wonder that testifies to Sardinia's prehistoric Nuragic civilisation, dating back some 3,000 years. Finally, the islands of San Pietro and Sant'Antioco, just off the southwestern tip of Sardinia, are also worth a visit.
