The Historic Center- Castelsardo is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Sardinia and Italy. Directly on the sea it is dominated by the castle which - still intact for over 1000 years - stands in defense of its low houses and the historic center that rises right on its slopes. Founded in 1270 by the Genoese Doria family, it has a very ancient history. Conquered in 1400 by the Spanish, it was baptized Castellaragonese and for about 300 years it belonged to the kingdom of Spain. From 1720 it was reconquered from Italy by the Savoy family, definitively becoming Castelsardo in 1102 by the Genoese Doria family. it is difficult to find such beautiful villages. It will win you over for its numerous natural beauties and that sense of ancient and past that is so frequently found in Sardinia. In the alleys of the historic center, stop to observe the small shops where women weave dwarf palm baskets. Distance 15 minutes walking from Casa Castel.
