Four tasteful ground level apartments in a small residential complex completed in 2006. It's only 200 m from the sea.

This beautiful, small apartment complex is embedded in the pleasant surrounding landscape with its low, semicircular construction structure and its part ochre, whitewashed or with natural stone outside facade. It consists of altogether eight housing units: four are at ground level and are offered as holiday apartments, while other four are basement flats, although not in use for the moment.
From the access road you can easily reach the apartments. Each of them have a private garden gate that take you to a small garden section and a small path with olive trees and bougainvillea shrubs that take you up to the terrace. This is always before the front door, and offers a sitting area and a picturesque bamboo roof for the needed shade. Thanks to the semicircular architecture each of the apartment is hidden from the neighbouring one. This way the desired privacy is always guaranteed.
All the same structured apartments are furnished and equipped equally. Entering the apartment you come to a tastefully designed living / dining room with a modern, bright yellow kitchenette. It disposes also of a beautiful cream couch with a white wood dining table and matching chairs. Especially nice is also the wooden ceiling that underlines the homely atmosphere.
A door leads from the living area to the two bedrooms and the bathroom. The larger room is equipped with a very pretty, iron double bed, bedside tables and an elaborate cherry wood cabinet with mirror. The second room is quite small, however, a wooden bunk bed for the children can be folded during the day leaving just the right space. The bathroom is in terracotta coloured and white tiles and disposes of shower, toilet, washbasin and bidet.

These holiday apartments are ideal for families with children who are looking for a relaxing holiday atmosphere in walking distance to the sea.

The bigger neighboring city of Tortolì is a lively holiday resort in the east coast with small shops, bars, restaurants, banks and a charter flight airport. It represent a good starting point to undertake the all year round different trips around this region. Hence it's a place not only for beach lovers but also for hikers, as well as nature and archaeology lovers.
The 500 souls municipality of Arbatax belongs to Tortolì and it's one of the most famous places of the Ogliastra coast, being a commercial port but also an important tourist harbour even if it lacks of infrastructures. It can still count some factories, like a paper factory, close to the harbour. What remains today is some manufacturing work for offshore construction companies, shipped primely to Libya.
Arbatax offers as tourist sights one of the landmarks of Sardinia, the red rocks (impressive Prophyr cliffs) as well as a Spanish tower which gave its exotic sounding name to the town: from the arab " Arba at Ashar " the fourteenth tower.

This part of Sardinia is still not a developed holiday resort, and guests should come with a little of discovery spirit, that will make this a special vacation.
Only a little bit farther from here is the sandy bay of Orrì, or the bay of Cala Goloritze. Once here you also need to do a boat trip to the fantastic bay Cala Luna (which can be achieved either by foot or boat) or also a visit of the highest caves of Europe, the 'Grotte Su Marmuri' close to Ulassai, and try not to miss the numerous 'Domus de Janas' (antique burial places) and Nuraghes.
Active travellers should always plan their routes, however, remembering that the winding roads make driving times longer.
