  What else ...

  My house is outside the village, a very peacefull place, perfect if you want to practice yoga, meditation and take long walks in the county. Not far there are lots of beautiful beaches, some museum, the city of Oristano. In the village there are some busses to reach all those destinations, but if yuo have a car is much easier to move. I can lend you my bike.
