When you think of these destinations that you have to visit at least once in your life, Sardinia is one of those places that without discussion is a must-visit.
But which place would you choose to be original and go beyond what everyone visits?
There is a place, Torre delle Stelle, that without a doubt you cannot miss. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this place. It means ‘Star Tower’ and it was founded in the late 60s.
Inhabited all year round by about one hundred residents, it comes alive mainly in the hot months and in the middle and low seasons.
Due to its particular position, Torre delle Stelle can boast the most extended summer on the whole island, located in the coastal area of the municipalities of Maracalagonis and Sinnai.
Torre delle Stelle is about 40 km from Cagliari Airport (Elmas), the arrival point of many Low-Cost flights from all over Europe.
Torre delle Stelle is ideal for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle and close to the sea. And not only in the summer months, but also in the off-season, for cyclists and motorcyclists who want to discover the great coastal roads in southern Sardinia.
There are several places to stay, but Villa Verde Guest House is the perfect place, it is designed to make you feel at home. Relaxation and independence in a warm and familiar environment. Here you can choose from charming rooms identified with zodiac names or villas such as Casa delle Ulivi or Villa Antares.

The idea of christening the old lighthouse ,around which this charming village was built ,“Torre delle Stelle”, was probably born of a feeling of being closer to the heavenly bodies at this spot than anywhere else. And in fact, at night the two hills towering over the sea usually offer an unimpeded view of the Milky Way.
Torre delle Stelle is exactly the right spot for anyone who longs for peace and quietness and a holiday “all’italiana”.
