Huw's View

Is Cheas offers a sustainable luxury experience with tailor-made comforts and services. It is a real find as the owners have put a huge amount of thought into this lovely eco-friendly small resort.

The charming Pinnetta suites are rustic-chic with modern comforts and they all have their own private garden and pool and the Farm House Suites are a lovely addition.

The main 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.

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.
