Discovering Sardinia and the charm of Costa Verde and Piscinas.
Author: Luca Frau
Sardinia offers, in addition to more notes tourist locations,
fascinating places still wild or not completely explored. The
Costa Verde area, which belongs to the Arbus municipality, is
one of them and surely deserves more consideration.
Costa Verde preserves still now its wild beauty thanks to the
fact that is not very well connected to the rest of Sardinia.
The roads are small, not comfortable, full of blends and
sometimes still unpaved. However the travel difficulties are
offset by the beauty of the places.
The main features of the Costa Verde are panoramas and
landscapes of yearning beauty. A lush nature changing its
appearance according to the seasons faces a unique coastline
that alternates big cliffs with sandy areas characterized by
high dunes modeled by the wind.
Piscinas stands out for the beauty between the sandy beaches of
the whole area. It has been declared by the UNESCO world
heritage site and its landscape cannot be altered in any way.
Reach Piscinas means crossing not comfortable unpaved roads. The
main road crosses what remains of the old Ingurtosu mines, a
true example of industrial archaeology, that create the
impression of a land abandoned by the humans. This aspect makes
even more fascinating the journey necessary to achieve this
place.
After 12 kilometres we find a gorgeous natural scenery where the
only building is the one of Hotel Le Dune obtained by
the old warehouses of Ingurtosu mines. This high quality small
and charming accommodation allows to the few and privileged
guests to enjoy 8 kilometres of wonderful sandy dunes.
A stay in this place is the ideal solution to escape from
noises, stress and bothers of big city life. It is not random
that this destination is appreciated from long time by managers,
writers, politicians that love Sardinia but not its cool places
full of people and gossip journalists.
