The Costa Verde
is waiting.

Golden sand dunes, historic mines and villages the crowds never reach. From Casa Bruna you are within easy reach of the most extraordinary places in south-west Sardinia — about an hour and a half from Cagliari airport.

Wild and unspoilt, reached only on foot. Crystal-clear water and almost nobody there.

Live Sardinia,
don’t just look at it.

Arbus offers experiences you will not find on a package tour. Here is what we recommend during your stay at Casa Bruna.

Trails through the Piscinas dunes, paths in the Mediterranean scrub, and the Santa Barbara Mining Trail — a 500 km walking route that passes right through here, walkable in every season.

On request

Historic Mine Tours

Montevecchio, Ingurtosu, Gennamari: a journey into Sardinia’s industrial age. Guided tours in English available all year round.

Seasonal

Food & Wine

Wineries, cheesemakers and village festivals around Arbus. Vermentino, Cannonau, DOP cheeses and local sweets. The Sardinia you will not find in a brochure.

Before you book

Worth knowing
before you book.

A few honest things about staying here, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

You will need a car

Public transport here is thin. Everything worth seeing is a short drive away, and parking outside the apartment is free and easy.

This is an apartment, not a hotel

No reception, no breakfast, no daily cleaning. You get the whole place to yourself, a real kitchen and room to unpack.

We are open all year

July and August are hot and busy on the beaches. May, June, September and October are honestly better, and the mining trail works right through the winter.

Booking direct: you talk to someone who lives here

The best price, no middleman. Book here and you pay less than on the portals: the commission we don’t pay stays in your price.

You talk to the people who run the house. We answer ourselves, on WhatsApp or by email. No call centre, no messages filtered through a platform.

Real advice for the season you’re coming in. We’ll tell you what’s open in November, where to eat on a Sunday, which beach makes sense when the mistral blows.

No surprises on the total. Tourist tax is already included in the price, and our deposit and cancellation terms are published: you read them before you book.
