DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF WILD SARDINIA
Our resort enjoys a microclimate that is one of a kind in Europe, as numerous scientific studies have certified. The mountains behind Santa Margherita di Pula protect the coastline from the cold winds of the north of the island and guarantee more than 300 days of sun a year: a gift of nature that allows our season to run from March to November.
Our wonderful island, Sardinia, is home to some wonderful secrets and pleasures: the enchanting and breathtaking panoramas, the beauty of its immense open spaces, delicious traditional cuisine, and an unspoilt nature that dates back to ancient times. And Forte Village is also close to a large number of cultural, archaeological and natural sites of interest. You can hire a car and in only 45 minutes reach the beautiful city of Cagliari, or hire a bike and discover Nora, one of the first Phoenician allocations founded in Sardinia. The city began in the VIII century B.C., but it developed above all the Punic period, between the V and III centuries B.C. In the vicinity of the latter is the lagoon of the same name, which includes a branched system of channels and islands that characterizes the mouth of the river Rio Arrieras, and it is separated from the sea by the peninsula called Fradis minoris, a geological formation known as the Tyrrhenian sandstone bed, rich of fossil inclusions. The lagoon is full of numerous species of birds including the most representative in coastal birdlife as the rare Audouin’s gull, which the Laguna di Nora is its main nesting site in Italy. The waters of the lagoon are home to valuable fish species and it is alive with the traditional fishing activities that are carried out with the boats and gear used in typical Sardinian lagoons.
The area of Pula offers 20 km of coast, 7000 hectares of forest, long white beaches of fine sand, small narrow bays between rocky headlands, a sea of glass that reflects and enhances the blue sky. If you are nature lovers you will have plenty of choices in this immense natural heritage
