Hotel Sa Muvara, Aritzo

The Hotel Sa Muvara, Aritzo provides four-star luxury on the edge of the Monti dei Gennargentu natural park in the heart of Sardinia. This Sardinia hotel itself sits within five hectares of its own parkland. This is an area of pure water springs, and quite beautiful countryside. The hotel has a swimming pool, sauna, wellness and beauty centre and conference facilities.

There is a mixture of rooms and suites, all air conditioned, with in-room safe, bathroom with shower and WC, minibar, desk and lamp and direct-dial phone. This Aritzo hotel has an all-weather tennis court, restaurant and lounge bar, free car park and lots of play space for the children. There is a sauna, sunbed and Jacuzzi in the health centre, a fully equipped gym, and nearby activities include horse riding, hiking and rambling of course, canoeing and mountain biking.

This central, mountainous region of Barbagia is a land of medieval, isolated villages, forested slopes and green meadows. Traditionally bandit country, rife with sheep rustling, these central uplands are now popular with hikers and skiers. The centre of Barbagia is the Gennargentu mountains (the name meaning 'silver gate' courtesy of the snow that caps them each winter). This hotel in Sardinia is perfect for making the most of this idyllic, slice of unchanged Italy. Other nearby towns include Fonni, Arzana, Orroli, Ulassai and Sedilo.
