Italian Islands
Casetta Turchese




The shared swimming pool


nterested in a holiday where you have restaurants, bars, shops and a sandy beach all within walking distance? Then why not try Casetta Turchese, a spacious studio apartment set on the ground floor of a large villa with shared pool, which is located on the edge of the attractive port town of Calasetta.


Outdoor dining area

Outdoors: Curved steps lead down to the Casetta’s entrance. Opposite the entrance is a communal barbecue area with seating and tables, shared with guests of the three neighbouring apartments. On the other side of the apartment is a wonderful swimming pool measuring 8 by 4 metres.


The dining table

Indoors: Upon entry to Casetta Turchese you have the kitchen corner with dishwasher to your left. The main room is very large with a handsome fireplace as a focal point. The décor is in shades of turquoise and blue as the name of the property suggests. There is a bedroom area, a dining area, a storage area, a seating area with comfortable arm chairs and a separate shower room.


Port of Sant'Antioco town

Surrounding Area: As Casetta Turchese is situated on the periphery of Calasetta, it is only about a five-minute walk to the town centre, to the lively fishing and ferry port and to the sandy beach of Sottotorre, located beneath the old tower. Alternatively, just a five-minute drive away, are two long sandy beaches with transparent waters that are surrounded by nature. Other lovely beaches on the island, such as Maladroxia and Coaquaddus also take little time to reach by car. We thoroughly recommend exploring Sant’Antioco’s diverse coastline and more mountainous interior. There are several good options for eating out both in Calasetta and the nearby town of Sant’Antioco. Calasetta has a modern art museum and Sant’Antioco town has several ancient sites and a museum of antiquities. Just a short ferry trip away is the delightful and unspoilt island of San Pietro and the smart town of Carloforte. The mainland of Sardinia is quickly reached by car across the causeway at Sant’Antioco, and among other things you can visit the remarkable caves of Is Zuddas and the Necropolis of Montessu at Santadi and Monte Sirai at Carbonia.

Italian Islands Insight: For a third guest an extra single sofa bed can be added on request. For two couples or a family Casetta Turchese can interconnect with Casetta Blu. For larger groups these can also be rented with Casetta Azzurro and Casetta Celeste, all interconnecting internally. For family reunions or other party groups Villa Acquamarina can be hired alongside these casettas, sleeping 25 people in total with 11 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and private pool.


The striking Nido dei Passeri

Pets are allowed at the property and the pool is normally open from June to September, but these times could be extended subject to requests and the weather, which is usually nice from late April to mid-October.

Casetta Turchese provides a great value base from which to discover a little known corner of Sardinia. We do recommend car hire in order to explore the island of Sant’Antioco, and to visit the many beautiful beaches. However, in the evening you are free to enjoy a restaurant meal accompanied by as much as the excellent local Carignano di Sulcis wine as you want, without having to drive home afterwards!
