DAILY PROGRAM

    Welcome to Sardara. It is located in the middle of Campidano Area and it is a village with four thousand inhabitants, has always been a strategic junction and was once the border between the Giudicati of Arborea and Calari.

    Sardara's history is linked, today as in Antiquity, to the thermal springs: the Aquae Neapolitanae led to the establishment of a densely populated Roman residential area (2nd-1st century BC). At the end of the 19th century, they were incorporated into the modern Sardara thermal baths. Two kilometers from the village, your stay will be an experience of well-being in an establishment surrounded by greenery. The waters gush out at a temperature of between 50 and 68 degrees C and are beneficial and therapeutic.
