Live Villasimius like a local
Villasimius is one of the most loved destinations in south-east Sardinia: white beaches, crystal-clear waters, the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area and a still-authentic hinterland. Propertize selects and manages the best holiday homes in the area, so that every stay is cared for like that of a luxury hotel, with the freedom of a home.
Our portfolio in Villasimius is built above all around detached houses with a private garden, a patio, a terrace or a pergola, homes with a private outdoor space, perfect for those who want to live outdoors without sharing spaces with other guests. They are ideal for couples looking for a romantic escape in holiday homes with views over the sea, for families with children (a safe garden), for those travelling with a dog (pet-friendly with a fenced area) and for groups who want to dine al fresco under the pergola. We also have villas with a private pool and sea-view apartments in the more central areas. Every property is prepared by our team: a fully equipped kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, hotel-quality linen and a welcome kit with local products.
Detached houses with a garden, patio, terrace or pergola
What sets us apart in Villasimius is our portfolio of detached houses with a private outdoor space. Depending on the property you will find a private garden with a lawn and Mediterranean planting, a shaded patio for breakfast, a terrace with sea views for a sunset aperitivo, or a wooden pergola for dining outdoors. Some houses have it all: a garden at the front, a pergola at the back, a terrace on the upper floor. It is the kind of property sought by families and groups for whom an apartment is not enough but who do not want the formality of a resort either. Find out more in our guide to houses with gardens in Sardinia, or filter by detached house with garden, houses with a pergola or house with a sea-view terrace directly in the catalogue.
Villasimius for families with children
Villasimius is among the Propertize destinations most in demand from families with children: beaches with shallow seabeds (Campus, Campulongu, Spiaggia del Riso), houses with a fenced garden where the little ones can play safely, and a quiet, pushchair-friendly town. See our selection of family holiday homes in Sardinia for all the child-friendly services available on request.
Self check-in, multilingual, direct prices
Every home in Villasimius supports self check-in: you receive the code and arrive whenever you like, even after dinner once you have landed at Cagliari-Elmas. Our local team is reachable 24/7 via WhatsApp in Italian, English, French, Spanish and German. Booking direct with us gives you the best available rates, with no commissions from external portals.
The beaches of Villasimius not to be missed
Villasimius owes its fame to its beaches. Porto Giunco, recognisable for its tongue of white sand overlooking the pink Notteri lagoon, is often listed among the most beautiful in Italy. Punta Molentis is reached by crossing a rocky isthmus that opens onto turquoise waters: access is limited in high season to protect the Marine Area. Spiaggia del Riso takes its name from its rounded, brilliant-white grains of sand, while Simius is the town beach, dominated by the Spanish fortress. Cala Pira, with its Aragonese tower and juniper woodland, is perfect for those after a less fashionable atmosphere; Campus and Campulongu are ideal for families with children thanks to their shallow waters.
What to do in Villasimius beyond the sea
Villasimius is not only about beaches. The Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area is a paradise for snorkelling and diving: the local diving centres organise excursions to the Serpentara shoals and the Posidonia meadows. The marina is the departure point for day mini-cruises out to the Isola dei Cavoli and Serpentara. For walkers, the path to the Capo Carbonara lighthouse offers one of the most spectacular panoramas in Sardinia. In town, the Archaeological Museum holds finds from the wrecks of the Gulf of Carbonara, and the historic centre comes alive every evening with seafood restaurants, wine bars and artisan markets. For a different kind of dinner, it is well worth booking at one of the agriturismi in the Castiadas hinterland, twenty minutes' drive away: porceddu, pane carasau, Vermentino and myrtle just as tradition dictates.
Getting there and when to go
Villasimius is about 50 km from Cagliari-Elmas Airport: 45 minutes by car along the SS125 Orientale Sarda. From Olbia the journey is around three hours, crossing the south of Sardinia. A rental car is the best choice: it lets you reach the more secluded coves of the south-east on your own, from Costa Rei to Cala Sinzias. The beach season runs from May to October; June and September are our guests' favourite months, with temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees, a sea that is already warm and less crowded beaches. August remains the liveliest month, with events, festivals and a buzzing nightlife.
The flavours of south-east Sardinia
The cuisine of Villasimius and its surroundings tells the dialogue between the sea and the Sarrabus. The restaurants by the marina serve the catch of the day: Catalan-style lobster, spaghetti with clams, fregula with seafood, grey mullet bottarga. In the hinterland you can taste the pastoral tradition: roast porceddu, potato and mint ravioli, and sheep's-milk cheeses from the dairies of Castiadas. Cannonau from Jerzu and Sardinian Vermentino accompany every dinner, while myrtle and aromatic spirits round off the meal. To our guests we suggest the places we genuinely frequent ourselves: from the village trattoria to the cellar with a view, from the bakery for pane carasau to the beach kiosk for an informal lunch.
Villasimius with children: the safest beaches
Villasimius is one of the most family-friendly destinations in all of Sardinia. The beaches of Campus and Campulongu have shallow seabeds and calm waters, ideal for little ones. Simius is supervised and easily reached on foot from the town. Spiaggia del Riso, with its rounded, soft grains of sand, is a unique tactile experience for children. Our detached houses with a fenced garden are perfect for families: a private outdoor space where children play safely, an equipped kitchen for cooking at any hour and linen provided. Many properties accept pets. Ask our team for the best option for your family.
