About us

Sud Sardegna Stay is the official website of Shambala Villa, a panoramic villa on the hill above Porto Pino, with beautiful views of the sea, the lagoon and the white Is Arenas Biancas dunes. The name “Shambala” evokes the idea of a peaceful place surrounded by nature, where you can relax and unwind.

The villa is divided into four independent apartments and is managed directly by us. Sud Sardegna Stay was created to give guests a direct way to discover and book Shambala Villa, avoiding the fees charged by large platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com and allowing direct communication with their host.

Sud Sardegna Stay is also a guide to discovering Porto Pino and South Sardinia. The website brings together our recommendations and information on the best beaches, restaurants, excursions and places to visit, as well as information about the wind and live webcams to help you explore the area and make the most of your holiday.

A personal welcome

Your host

My name is Jacopo. I am the owner of Shambala Villa and also your host. I have been welcoming travellers for over 15 years and, over that time, have had the pleasure of hosting more than 150 guests from around the world.

I am a Superhost on Airbnb, a status I work to maintain year after year because it reflects how I want to run Shambala Villa: providing attentive service, being available when needed and helping every guest make the most of their stay.

With Sud Sardegna Stay, I wanted to create an even more direct relationship with our guests. From choosing the right apartment to recommendations on beaches, restaurants and places to discover, you always know who you are talking to.

The villa

Shambala Villa is a panoramic villa on the hill above Porto Pino, surrounded by the peaceful landscape of South Sardinia, with beautiful views of the sea, the lagoon and the Is Arenas Biancas dunes.

The villa has four independent apartments: Shambala Duo, ideal for two guests, and Shambala Trio, Balcony and Attic, each accommodating up to four guests. Each apartment has its own spaces and includes an equipped kitchen, air conditioning and fast Starlink internet.

At the heart of the property is a shared swimming pool reserved for villa guests, surrounded by outdoor spaces where you can enjoy the views and the peaceful hillside setting. The apartments have different features: some have private terraces and outdoor spaces, while the Attic stands out for its large panoramic terrace.

The location offers a peaceful stay with panoramic views, while Porto Pino’s First and Second Beach and the spectacular Is Arenas Biancas dunes are only a few minutes away by car.

The area

Porto Pino, in south-west Sardinia, is an ideal base for exploring one of the island’s most fascinating areas. Staying here means having fine white-sand beaches, crystal-clear water, the pine forest and the lagoon with its flamingos just a few minutes away, while enjoying a peaceful setting surrounded by nature.

From Porto Pino, you can discover somewhere different every day: from the spectacular Is Arenas Biancas dunes to the coast around Teulada and Tuerredda, the island of Sant’Antioco, Carloforte on the island of San Pietro and, further north along the coast, Masua and Buggerru, with their landscapes and reminders of the mining history of Sulcis-Iglesiente.

Sud Sardegna Stay is also here to help you discover the area. Our guides include information about destinations, beaches, restaurants and excursions, together with our local recommendations for planning your days. Through the live webcams available on the website, you can also see some of South Sardinia in real time and check the sea, wind and coastal conditions before setting off.
