Bosa Holiday House is peaceful and light with simply furnished spacious rooms. Large kitchen windows open onto the terrace offering stunning views. This is a place to relax and sit at sunset (with a glass of wine) taking in the wonderful views over Bosa and the surrounding hills. The light, views and general simplicity have an incredibly relaxing effect, holidays here really do make one stop, slow down and re-charge ones batteries.

Terrace on top floor with space to sit and eat, or to just gaze. Space outside front door, which opens onto quiet cobbled street.

Other beautiful beaches up and down the coast, either sandy or rocky. The water is extremely clean and clear and great for snorkeling.

Serious mountain walking/trekking territory inland, about 1 1/2 hours drive. Great walking around Bosa too. Tharros and other sites of historical and archaeological interest are easily accessible from Bosa.
Further details
The house is in the 'centro storico' of Bosa, on one of the narrow cobbled streets in the medieval quarter. Step onto the terrace and the view gives you an immediate taste of what a holiday in the unspoilt Sardinian town of Bosa is all about: beauty, variety, and above all a pervading sense of peace. You will see an ancient town unfolding below you, the terracotta coloured roofs spreading round the central dome of the XIIth century Cattedrale dell'Immacolata. Look to the east and your eye will follow the curves of the River Temo, upon whose banks the town, a former capital of Sardinia, is built. Roman bridges span the Temo, where fishermen moor and the old tanneries stand. Facing you across the valley are hills - green in winter, golden in summer - follow their descent towards the west and you will see the blue of the Med. The turreted Castello Malaspina which crowns the hill above the town is witness to the long history of Sardinia, involving invasions by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and later the Aragonese and Catalans. You can visit the castello and see beautiful XV century frescos, and a stunning view of the town. There are wonderful beaches up and down the coast which I would recommend you go to. The swimming is blissful, the water is very clear and clean. There is plenty of snorkelling to be done, as well as windsurfing on the beach at Bosa Marina. Bosa Marina, with it's long sandy beach, is one mile away, it is the local sea-side resort to the town. Anybody wanting some night life need only go down to Bosa Marina where it is full of bars and nightclubs, they are buzzing in summer till the wee hours of the morning. There are bars, shops, restaurants and wonderful ice-cream shops in town. You can wander down in the evening light to the Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, or wander along the river front to eat at Verdefiume. Market day is Tuesday. Other activities: walking, riding, cycling, diving, rowing, bird watching, windsurfing.

Guest comments
Bosa was one of the more enjoyable events of our holiday portfolio and one that we would all like to repeat. We have always been ones for bucking the pre-organised trends and have, as a family, had some pretty remarkable holidays all over the world. What made it for us this time? A lot of things combine to make a good holiday. But above all, your accommodation and it's location set the theme for the whole period. It has a wonderful ambiance, is comfortable and entirely adequate. One thing you can rest assured ofwe'll be back! D. Wood, Oxford
