Villa Punta Trettu
~10-minute walk to the lagoon
Via Punta Trettu, San Giovanni Suergiu
Villa Punta Trettu is a self-catering villa a few minutes' walk from the Punta Trettu lagoon, rented to one group at a time for full privacy. It has four en-suite bedrooms with their own external entrances, a private pool and solarium, a large garden, a professional kitchen and dedicated gear storage and washing. It suits a group or family of kiters who want their own base within walking distance of the water.
Punta Trettu is the flat-water heart of south-west Sardinia, a shallow, waist-deep lagoon in the Sulcis region near San Giovanni Suergiu that has become one of the best places in Europe to learn to kite. The water is knee to waist deep for a long way out, the bottom is soft, and the wind blows cross to cross-onshore, so beginners can body-drag and ride without worrying about depth or current. A cluster of schools sits right on the lagoon, and stronger riders head to nearby Porto Botte when the Mistral fills in.
