Santa Caterina House | HOLIDAY HOUSE WITH HUGE GARDEN AND SUPERB VIEW OF THE SEA AND THE MOUNTAINS

3 Bedroom House in Santa Caterina, Cuglieri

The name of the house is “Casa dei cardellini” that means “house of goldfinches” because tiny chirping birds like to make their nests in the jasmine hedge that runs along the porch. The house gives you a feeling of freedom, space and calmness.
The interior furniture is functional and is inclusive of all home equipment for six persons to live comfortably. There are three bedrooms (two double beds and one bunk bed for two persons). Quotation of a guest: “in the house you do not feel stranger; indeed it is a home away from home "!
Outdoor spaces are equipped with tables, chairs, sun loungers, hammock, etc. There is also an outdoor shower with hot water, a laundry, a barbecue and a wood oven to cook pizza. The courtyard is paved and shaded by olive trees. Many different spots in the garden are perfect to make you feel relaxed in total privacy. Inside the property, two cars can be parked. Read below: More details.
The house is located in a very good panoramic position overlooking the sea, the mountains and the village in a very quiet area with breath-taking scenic beauty. The garden around the house is huge. All the property is fenced. Always blows a pleasant breeze, even in summer hot days. The building was built with highly insulating materials in order to keep a healthy temperature inside the house. In addition, thanks to the sunny Mediterranean climate, the house is comfortable in spring and late autumn, too.
Normally mosquitoes do not infest the spot where the house is. In the evening on the terraces and in the porch a few citronella candles lit on are enough to ward off any possible lonely mosquito. The windows of the bedrooms and bathrooms have mosquito nets.
The house stands in the seaside village of “Santa Caterina di Pittinuri” in the municipality of Cuglieri. Santa Caterina di Pittinuri is a village of about 500 people (year-round inhabited by native people), therefore any month of the year, the tourists have not the feeling of living in a ghost town. A hundred yards from the house is a store that sells the main goods. Other shops (including a pharmacy) bars and a petrol station are in the village.
In the semi basement of the house there is a small apartment with its own courtyard and entrance. This small apartment is independent from the spaces and the services described above. It is lived occasionally by the hosts.
In front of the house, as the crow flies (200 meters distance) there is a kind of natural pool very impressive, surrounded by towering white cliffs. It is reached via a path between bushes of Mediterranean scrub. Either you can get to the water by small steps carved in the rock or you can dive in.
You reach the Bay of the village either by car or on foot (ten minutes walking). The beach is sandy on a side and covered with pebbles on the other side. The sandy side is suitable for small children because the water stays shallow for at least 40 meters. Along the beach, there is a slipway for boats. A few miles farer from the house there are endless sandy beaches. At 10 miles is the Golf Course Is Arenas. At 13 miles, is Cape Mannu, a very good spot to practice surf sport. At 18 miles, is the Roman and Phoenician archaeological site of Tharros.
In Oristano town (25 km from Santa Caterina) there is a huge shopping center “Porta Nuova” (a Mall); you find the supermarket Conad and forty different Shops. The Center is open every day, including Sunday from 9 am to 9 pm.
HOUSE OF GOLDFINCHES WELCOMES YOU FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY!
It is a place where you can relax right from the very start, naturally. Everything is low-key. Enjoy the true oasis far from the hustle, a place of freedom, enjoyment and perfect relation with yourself and nature.
Enjoy the gentle scents of jasmine, lavender, myrtle and many other essences of the green wild unspoiled nature composing the Mediterranean landscape of this part of Sardinia. Visit the ruins and remains of ancient civilizations. Discover the cliffs, the rocks of magical beauty that remind lunar soil, the natural sculptures carved by wind and water, the Spanish towers.
Dive and snorkel in the clear turquoise water of the many bays.
Genuine and fresh food is so tempting, not to talk of the red and white wine which will help you to leave behind the bustle of everyday life.
Take part to historical events, to cult rituals and folklore, to festivals, to handicraft exhibitions, to fairs following one another all year around.
Sardinia will give you a great sense of wild space, peace and calmness and the locals will be very friendly and welcoming.

Summary: If you happen to find this beautiful house because it is still available, you have struck gold. We have spent two fulls weeks here end of May / beginning of June with our three young kids. The entire house and garden is very well looked after. Many and comfortable opportunities to sit outside, very nice views to the sea and the countryside. Inside as well as outside, you can feel that Maria Teresa spends time here too - there are so many lovely details, so many nice wooden furniture, and everything with the needs of guests in vacation at mind too. We have very much felt at home during these two weeks and cannot wait to come back soon :) The village itself is full of nice people, and the countryside around is just astonishing, and the most beautiful beaches not far away. And at this time of the year, the water is already good for swimming, we have enjoyed it alot. Thank you Maria Teresa for having us, you have been a wonderful host. Thank you for all the very useful information you have put together and for the excellent welcome cakes! PS: The kids loved to feed the little turtle Victoria!

Summary: My family and I had a wonderful holiday at Maria Theresa’s amazing home. The house has a wonderful position overlooking the sea and is full of thoughtful touches inside and outside that make it a real pleasure to stay in. This was our first visit to Sardinia and we loved exploring all the local sights from the Sinis Penisula up to Bosa, but nothing beat our morning swim with the fishes in the cove opposite. Maria Theresa was a charming and informative owner who helped making the booking as easy as possible.

Summary: Firstly I have to say Maria Teresa the owner was so helpful with every aspect of the holiday, from directions to advice on places to visit. We had a wonderful week with our two children 4 and 8. The villa is perfect for families. If you want to get away from it all and the English tourists who seem to pop up in every nook and cranny around the world this is the place for you. Quiet beaches, quiet roads and void of tourists, perfect for us. Highly recommend for an excellent quiet holiday for young families. Lastly, we'll miss the villa's permanent resident - Victoria.

Summary: It is hard to beat a holiday in Sardinia as the summer season slows. We were greeted by Marie Therese who showed us around her house which is thoughtfully designed for holidaymaking. Everything one could ask for is provided in this large and generously proportioned house. The deep, shaded veranda offers a perfect view of the sea and sunsets. The very large garden is perfect for a long read while sunbathing . Marie Therese is a warm and extremely helpful hostess. Local wine and cakes welcomed us and during our stay we were offered a tray of figs, perfectly on the turn, from Marie Therese's tree. Deep knowledge of the region with its secret beaches and eating spots was generously shared. All in all..... wonderful!

Summary: Maria Theresa has created the perfect holiday home. I think she has poured a lot of thought and love into the house - and it shows. The house itself is beautiful - and very spacious for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 teenagers). We really enjoyed the different outside spaces for bbq-ing, relaxing and taking in the endless sea view. There was a very helpful set of notes about the house and the surrounding area. There was plenty to explore; I loved the variety of different beaches within a short walk/drive - from the creek of su riu (perfect for snorkelling) to the picture-perfect white beaches of the sinis pinisula and the waves of arenas - as well as a stunning mountain walk and the winding streets of bosa.

Summary: Casa dei Cardellini is certainly the best house in Santa Caterina. Fantastic location, incredible views (both seaside and countryside), very large garden/outside space, large rooms, top level facilities. I commend Maria Teresa and Antonio for being incredible landlords and Casa dei Cardellini is the perfect base to discover and enjoy an amazing and sometimes less known part of Sardinia.

Summary: A gem of a house and stunning garden equipped with everything you could need. We're a family of five with children aged 6, 8 and 11. We all loved it and felt instantly at home. Lots of shade and cosy corners all around the house and the outdoor shower is a dream. Pet tortoise also a big hit. Wonderful location with sea views in front and mountains behind. 5 min walk to local beach and our favourite ice cream restaurant Asterix. Great base for exploring stunning local area. So many wonderful quiet beaches. Super snorkelling. Good, safe roads. Large supermarkets about 10 mins drive away otherwise local shops have surprisingly good stock. Recommend day trip to Bosa. This was our first visit to Sardinia and we wanted a rural location away from tourists. This is exactly what we found so were very happy. Maria is a delightful host. Very very helpful and interested. Could have stayed here for a very long time!

Summary: Maria Teresa and Antonio Grimaldi are very kind and warm hosts, who were very accommodating when we had trouble with our travels, and went to great lengths to make our stay comfortable for our young family. The house has all the essentials and a lovely garden, and is very well placed for exploring the West cost of Sardinia

Summary: We (2 adults and a 1,5 year old) spend a week at this lovely place to relax and enjoy the Sardinia weather. After arriving late (22:30) at the location we were greeted by the owners and received a quick tour of the house. The child bed looked almost new (probably was since the tags were still partly on it) and everything was nice and clean. Maria had purchased breakfast for us due to the arrival time and a nice bottle of wine to celebrate my wife's birthday. All this made us feel at home. The lay-out of the house is good with the 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms being situated in one side of the house and the living area on the other side. This meant that the child can sleep without being disturbed by noises from the living room. The kitchen is well equipped with pots and pans and herbs to cook with. But the best part of the property is the outdoors area. The balcony has a beautiful view of the sea and is a nice place to relax in the afternoon and read a book. We spend most time however in the garden at the back of the house. Its the perfect place to play with a child since it is completely fenced and safe for a child to play. We would definitely want to come back here another time.
