About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This is it! Heart of Sardinia, fully private pool, huge garden, full airco

Country house Casa Zuras is named after the 'nuraghe' Zuras, located a few hundred meters away. A nuraghe is a pyramid-shaped structure that recalls the first inhabitants of the island and is 3,000 to 4,000 years old.
The house has a spacious living room with open kitchen, 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lovely veranda and a huge garden with a large swimming pool. Everything is fully private, you don't share the pool or garden with anyone else. Living room and all bedrooms have air conditioning and heating.
Our country house has a cottage-like appearance: everything is on one level, the walls are plastered, two chimneys, red classic roof tiles and all partly in the shade of a huge, centuries-old cork oak.
The fully private swimming pool (5 x 10 meters!) is located directly next to the house, offers complete privacy and is kept clean by the gardener.
The house has a very large garden of approximately 8,000 m2, so plenty of room to play, sit in the sun or shade, enjoy the approximately 15 different types of fruit trees in the orchard etc.
Numerous restaurants, supermarkets and shops can be found in the surrounding area. But also many historical remains from the time of the Nuragic people, the Phoenicians, Romans, Moors and Spaniards.
The nearest beach is around 35 km away.
Abbasanta is located in the quiet, unexplored center of Sardinia, far away from the bustle in the North. An additional advantage: this part of the island is certainly as beautiful as the North and the prices are much lower.
The three airports of Cagliari, Olbia and Alghero are all within 1 to 1.5 hours drive, easily via the highway. So you can always see where the tickets and car hire are the most favorable; in terms of driving time to the cottage that makes very little difference. Ideal!
Use of gas, barbecue, washing machine, books / cards, bed linen and towels is included.
In the house there is a guest folder with extensive information about the house, the environment, information about nature, culture, history, etc.
We are always happy to provide more information about the house, the environment, the flight, car rental, etc. etc.
There is no wifi because the installation of a cable connection in central Sardinia is virtually impossible. However, there is good internet coverage and luckily roaming no longer costs money.
Have fun at Casa Zuras and discover Sardinia, the pearl of the Mediterranean.

A beautiful restful visit
A lovely property with great facilities and thankfully excellent air conditioning as weather reached unseasonal 39c. Local archaeology is amazing and beaches 30 mins drive are excellent for either beach or snorkelling.

Tolles alleinstehendes Haus
Wir verbrachten eine wunderschöne Woche in diesem schönen Haus. Es ist sehr schön renoviert und hat ein tolles Inventar. Viel Platz für die ganze Familie! Der Pool lässt einen fast nicht mehr ans Meer fahren. Mit dem Auto kann man das Innere Sardiniens und die Westküste (ca. 45min) sehr schnell erreichen. Der Vermieter antwortet sehr schnell und ist gut erreichbar: Wir würden gerne wiederkommen!

Ruhe am Pool
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit mit der ganzen Familie (Kinder vier und acht) in dem sehr schönen Haus von Erik. Es liegt in schöner Landschaft, einsam auf dem Land, ist sehr gepflegt, verfügt über effektiven Mückengitter, ist schön renoviert und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Pool ist natürlich ein absolutes Highlight.

Super séjour à la casa Zuras.
Agréable séjour à la casa Zuras. Maison de campagne confortable idéalement située au calme pour les amateurs de nature, histoire et à distance raisonnable de la côte. De plus, l’autoroute et les axes principaux sont tout à côté. Nos adolescents (et nous-mêmes) avons apprécié la piscine ainsi que sa terrasse. Ma maison est faite de telle façon que chacun puisse avoir son espace détente. Le hamac a lui aussi été très apprécié! Bien que la maison est située à la campagne, les commerces sont à proximité et on y trouve de tout. Merci à nos hôtes!

Campagne sarde, belle maison avec piscine et propriété arborisée
Nous étions 5 adultes et avons passé 2 semaines caniculaires à la Casa Zuras, mais la piscine et toutes les pièces climatisées de la maison nous ont permis de passer de bonnes vacances. La maison est bien équipée que ce soit à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur, elle a été restaurée avec goût. Elle est proche des supermarchés et des restaurants. Elle se situe dans une zone peu touristique, mais d'intéressants sites nuragiques sont voisins, le beau village de Santu Lussurgiu n'est pas loin et en 30 à 40 minutes de voiture, on atteint de très belles plages... d'ailleurs, tout est très bien expliqué dans le classeur "pratique" de la maison. Erik est très réactif pour répondre aux demandes que nous avons pu lui faire ...et les personnes sur place sont très sympathiques et serviables. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cette location. Encore un grand MERCI :)

Tolles Anwesen in einer nicht touristischen Gegend
Das Haus, der Garten und der Swimmingpool sind in einem top Zustand und es ist sehr gut ausgerüstet. Wir haben es sehr genossen und viele Ausflüge an sehr schöne Strände unternommen. Dieser Teil Sardiniens ist nicht touristisch und so hatten wir viel Platz an den Stränden. Der Vermieter war jederzeit erreichbar und hat uns super unterstützt. Herzlichen Dank Erik!

Beautiful house with wonderful pool and garden
The location and the house are very beautiful. We enjoyed the large pool very much. Perfect for spending the day by the pool, cooling off and swimming. In the village there are stores where you can find food and the beautiful beach Is Arutas is 40 minutes drive away. The contact with Erik and the exchange of information has worked great. We recommend this house to all those who are looking for peace and relaxation.

Prima huis en zwembad. Huis en tuin wel aan weg.
Het huis is prima: ruime kamers en alle kamers voorzien van airconditioning (wat gezien de 38 gr ook wel nodig is). Geen vaatwasser was wel even wennen….. Heerlijk groot zwembad waar je lekker kan afkoelen. Het huis/tuin ligt direct aan redelijk drukke weg. Eigenaar reageert snel op vragen. In de buurt meerdere opties om boodschappen te doen. Veel leuke en interessante uitstapjes te maken. Je moet wel steeds tijdje in de auto.

Casa Zuras
Al nostro arrivo a Casa Zuras, con il buio della sera, siamo stati accolti dalla piscina illuminata. Questa bella immagine e stato solo il preludio per un soggiorno estremamente piacevole e soddisfacente in una casa ospitale ed arredata con grandissimo gusto (dal soggiorno ai bagni) e dotata di ogni confort per vivere al meglio sia gli interni che il grande giardino e, appunto, la piscina. Molta attenzione è stata data dai proprietari al rispetto della privacy e della tranquillità degli ospiti e questo è un aspetto che noi abbiamo particolarmente apprezzato. Abbiamo lasciato Casa Zuras, con il buio, al mattino e già sentendone nostalgia.

Beautiful house with extraordinary swimming pool
We (two adults with two children, aged 8 and 11) had a great time in this house. The house is absolutely wonderful. It was very recently renovated and has all the amenities one could wish for (for example fully air-conditioned, which is a real plus in hot summer nights). The house as well as the veranda and the garden are very spacious and the absolute highlight is the huge private swimming pool. It measures 5m x 10m with a debt of 1,30m - 1,80m and is just perfect. You can even swim laps while the children happily play and splash around. Right next to the swimming pool is a covered area with sun beds which can be illuminated with a chain of lights and where you can have nice barbeques in the evenings. (A barbeque to use is also available and yes, even the pool is illuminated in the evenings.) If you enjoy a luxury stay in absolute privacy, this house is the perfect place for you. The house is located in a part of Sardinia where not too many tourist travel to and we also found this quite refreshing. The local supermarket is just 2km away as well as the small Sardinian towns of Abbassanta and Ghilarza with a variety of restaurants with really decent food and prices. It takes about half an hour to the coast by car and there we visited many beautiful beaches. For example the beach Is Arutas which is famous for its quartz sand and listed amongst the Top 10 of the most beautiful Sardinian beaches is just 40 min away. The hosts are also easily accessible by mail at any time and responded very quickly. For example we arranged for an extra free pool cleaning after one week of our stay and this was all handled very smoothly. All in all, a very pleasant experience and definitely one we can recommend!

Belle maison isolee dans la campagne sarde
La maison est isolee dans la campagne, mais a proximite d un village ou on trouvera des supermarches. La maison est ancienne et a ete rénovée en conservant son cachet. Le resultat est plutot reussi. La piscine est tres agréable et nous l avons beaucoup appréciée. Vos voisins seront des troupeaux de chevres ou de moutons. Le depaysement etait au rendez-vous
