Hello!

I’m Daniela, owner and managers of the Ca’ del Sol since 2008, and I look forward to welcoming you!

I was born in Nuoro (the capital of Sardinia’s mountainous interior) and studied in Venice where I’m graduated in Codicologia (the study of ancient illuminated books and manuscripts).

After running a hotel in Venice for seven years I felt the need to change to a slower pace of life and to dedicate myself to the world of Travel and Hospitality in a way that would allow me to bring more sharing and exchange to personal encounters.

Spellbound by the beauty of Sardinia I set a course for the island and in 2007 I arrived in the historic centre of Cagliari. There I’ve opened the doors of the house of my dreams to visitors. The Ca’ del Sol is situated on the second floor of Palazzo Zamberletti, an authentic nineteenth century architectural jewel with views over the Golfo degli Angeli on the southern edge of the Mediterranean.

The property belonged to my family and it has been lovingly restored. Since 2008 this house has become a meeting place and the source of countless travellers’ tales for visitors dazzled by the beauty of Sardinia. Many of these have become friends for whom I maintain a link between the island and their countries of origin.

For me, each new guest is a new journey!

I chose the name Ca’ del Sol as a tribute to the Mediterranean sun which lights up the house all year long and which inspired my motto “The more the sun shines the happier I feel”. Year after year, I have taken care of all the furnishings here, modifying, constructing and decorating things that, create an atmosphere of “home-studio-atelier”.

Whatever it is that you would like to do in Cagliari I can help you enjoy your experience to the maximum thanks to the help of many friends and colleagues who have expert local knowledge. I can offer you a boat trip in the Golfo di Cagliari, a jeep day-trip along panoramic roads inaccessible to cars, an amazing experience deep underground in the Sulcis geo-mineral park, a bird watching bike ride in the salt flats natural park or more simply a relaxing day with sun bed and umbrella on Cagliari’s Poetto beach.

In the Ca’ del Sol blog I often write, with my husband Michele, articles giving news, suggestions and information for visitors to Sardinia. Have a look now!

If you need any more information or would like some suggestions for travelling in southern Sardinia don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m always ready and willing to help.

I hope to see you soon in Sardinia, pearl of the Med!

I would like to thank my good friend Mr Kieran Lundy for this english version.
