Faro Capo-Spartivento - Chia - Cagliari - Sardinia

Location
Only 50 Km from Cagliari, in Chia area, in the extreme south of Sardinia, the Lighthouse "Faro di Cape Spartivento" dominates the landscape from the homonymic promontory. Surrounded by a still wild and unspoiled nature, where the Mediterranean scrub grows with its splendid colours and scents, the Lighthouse stands on a cliff overlooking the sea, reachable by a dirt road closed to the public.

Lighthouse
Built in 1856 by the Italian Navy, on an area of 600 square meters, the Lighthouse accommodated the family of the lighthouse keeper up to the 80s. Today the Lighthouse has been turned into a luxury guests house, keeping its charm and its original nature of the lighthouse, which illuminates the sailors way for 150 years.

In the 3000 square meters back garden, a centuries-old olive tree stands in the middle of a large lawn; a 12 meter fireplace with a lounge and a barbecue area. In the central raised area, eight crystal gazebos of 16 square meters each, where guests can dine enjoying the splendid sea or hill view. In front, overlooking the sea, a beautiful infinity pool with two Jacuzzi inserted into a wooden platform of 200 square meters dominates the landscape. All around, some original deck chairs and an elegant white leather lounge with 4 parasols, for lunch or a drink with breathtaking view.
