The Restaurant & Bar

Is Cheas is located at the boundary between two distinct territories, Sinis and Montiferru, both rich in tradition and history and the philosophy of the Is Cheas kitchen is ‘territory seasonality and first rate ingredients’.

Is Cheas Restaurant is surrounded by beautiful gardens with views of the pool and vineyards and offers guests a buffet breakfast daily including local delicacies and a 5 course dinner menu carefully designed by the chefs using products from the farm combined with local fish and meat.

The Cottage Pool Bar is open every day at lunchtime (1-3pm) surrounded by the vineyards and serving organic salads, local cheese, gourmet sandwiches, fish and fresh fruits in the pool area plus aperitifs, cocktails and smoothies. (Lunch and drinks are not included in the half board rate.)

In the evenings, guest can experience magical moments enjoying the colours of sunsets while sipping an aperitif.

In the gardens, there is a lovely swimming pool and terrace with sunbeds with gazebos for shade. 

Is Cheas farm surrounds the property and can organise tours of their vineyards with wine tasting. They also cultivate mushrooms and organic vegetables. 

The owner, Juan Carlos, hosts horse riding experiences and there are cooking classes with the resident chefs (extra cost).

The staff can organise excursions including trips to the local beaches and picturesque villages, boat trips and 4x4 trips and trekking in the surrounding countryside (extra cost).

Is Cheas has been built using only eco-friendly materials and uses renewable energy like solar or biomass, that produce next to no CO₂ emissions.

COVID-19 Protocols

We are pleased to confirm that this hotel has put COVID-19 protocols in place to ensure compliance with the regulations introduced by the Italian government in order to ensure the maximum safety and security of its guests which is detailed below.

The measures introduced will apply to both the facilities provided by the hotel and its services to guests.  Their implementation will be closely monitored and controlled in order to ensure the heathiest environment in which guests can continue to enjoy their holiday in the confidence that their risks to exposure to the COVID-19 virus is at a minimum. 

We must point out that the implementation of these measures may result in minor changes to the facilities available and certain services offered by the hotel as described on our website and in our brochure and we therefore invite our clients to contact us if they have any concerns or queries in this regard.

Clearly the changes in practices and availability of facilities may result in a difference to the guests’ experience as would otherwise be the case, although a reduced number of clients may actually result in a better service being afforded to guests.

The Local Area

Is Cheas is located near San Vero Milis in the north west of the Campidano, a geographic area characterized by an extraordinary variety of ecosystems between the countryside, the lagoon and the sea with more than 20km of coastline.

The country lanes are surrounded by olive groves and vineyards reminiscent of the agro-pastoral roots of this ancient and legendary territory. Between the field and the sea are the wetlands of great environmental importance with rare species of migratory birds and flamingos.

The bay of Is Arenas has a long 6km beach and Is Arenas Golf Club has an 18 hole course within the natural sand dunes, creating one of the most stunning courses in Europe. Also nearby is the Vernaccia wine producing region and Milis where some of the best oranges are grown in Sardinia.

In this area you will find many Nuraghi, ancient constructions of the Nuragic time including S’Uraki, one of the biggest of the island that is only 700m from Is Cheas.

Is Cheas is located 15km north of Oristano on the central west coast of Sardinia immersed in a natural oasis in the Sinis countryside with vast lagoons with flocks of pink flamingos, imposing and mysterious traces of the past inhabitants, magnificent medieval buildings and ancient Romanesque churches.

This remarkably unexplored corner of Sardinia offers a rich landscape of cultivated fields and beautiful beaches such as Is Arutas, Putzu Idu, Mari Ermi and Sa Rocca. The Protected Marine Area and Mal di Ventre Island is a paradise for diving, bird watching and hiking, biking and canoeing. 

Located on the northern promontory of the Gulf of Oristano are the ruins of Tharros, a Phoenician-Roman port city that was abandoned in the year 1000 AD.

Huw's View

We are delighted to introduce Is Cheas to the Just Sardinia Holiday Collection.

It is a real find as the owners have put a huge amount of thought into this lovely eco-friendly small resort.

The charming Pinnettas are rustic-chic with modern comforts.

The garden and pool area is a haven of peace and quiet surrounded by vineyards and therefore eminently suitable for couples wishing to get away from it all and experience authentic Sardinian hospitality.

Is Cheas produce their own white and red wine that is well worth trying and the restaurant serves typical Sardinian cuisine.

Car hire essential.
