About Capoterra
Capoterra is a town of about 23,000 people on the western arm of the Golfo degli Angeli, squeezed between the Santa Gilla lagoon and the forested hills of Monte Arcosu. The Capoterra pond, part of the Cagliari lagoon, draws flamingos and black-winged stilts. The beaches belong to coastal districts such as La Maddalena, Frutti d'Oro and Torre degli Ulivi rather than to the old centre. Our homes stand together a few kilometres south of that centre; each has a garden and air conditioning, most have a pool, and they sleep five or six.

- Best for

Capoterra villa holidays: questions answered
Does Capoterra have a beach?
Yes, though not in the town centre. The coastal districts of La Maddalena Spiaggia, Frutti d'Oro and Torre degli Ulivi each have a beach, so plan to drive down from the homes.
How far is Capoterra from Cagliari?
Between 10 and 15 km, depending on where you measure from, and the airport is about 25 minutes by car. ARST buses run between Cagliari and Capoterra on line 130, but a car is far more practical for the coast.
