:: Complete list of the B&B

Description

Cardedu, was founded immediately after a landside partly destroyed Gairo in 1951, the village, which for some time was kept under Gairo’s jurisdiction, became a municipality of his own in 1984.

As a consequence of the landslide then, part of Gairo’s population moved back to the place where, according to historians, the original settlement created by their forefathers was located.

The territory-almost 200 hectares covered by rich Mediterranean vegetation, century old forests and a unique flora and fauna is a fascinating naturalistic ensemble. A sandy seabed with limpid waters and a coast where dazzling coves suddenly appear to break the long white stretches of sand and reefs, pebbles and red porphyry sketch a gorgeous landscape, variegated, rugged and uncontaminated. Cardedu is also a favourite seaside resort for windsurfers because of the strong sirocco winds blowing at 10-15 knots.
