Along the way, you can admire the historic towers of Columbargia, Ischia Ruggia and Foghe, true panoramic points not to be missed.

Another must-do excursion leads to the plateau above Marrargiu, an untouched place where you can observe the majestic flight of the Griffon Vultures. These birds of prey, unique in the wild in Europe, have found an ideal environment to thrive in the Sardinian territory, thanks to its unspoiled nature and effective environmental protection efforts. An excursion that will allow you to immerse yourself in the wild nature of Sardinia, where history, wildlife and landscapes intertwine in unique harmony.

Sea Activities

The sea surrounding Albergo Diffuso Villa Asfodeli is not that of traditional white quartz beaches, but a wild and unspoiled coast stretching from Bosa in the north to Alghero, and south to Santa Caterina.

A unique coastline, free from settlements, where hidden coves, solitary beaches and breathtaking cliffs alternate, creating a perfect environment for nature lovers and outdoor activities.

This stretch of crystal-clear sea is ideal for snorkelling or, for those seeking more thrills, scuba diving to discover marine caves and posidonia beds.

Our establishment is located less than ten minutes from the Beach of Porto Alabe and Santamaria del Mare, with the possibility of organising guided excursions by experts, or renting boats to spend days at sea in total autonomy, exploring secret and untouched corners of the Sardinian coast.

Discover the hidden beauty of western Sardinia, where every corner of the sea tells a story to be experienced firsthand.
