Welcome to the Vecchia Torre, in Bosa “one of the most beautiful villages in Italy”!

The enchanting Bosa is truly one of the most beautiful villages in Sardinia or even in all of Italy. The small, colorful houses on the steep slope below the Malaspina castle invite you to discover and relax. “La Vecchia Torre” – our tower house at Via Carmine no. 7 – was built in the mid-18th century and underwent an extensive renovation in 2008-2010, preserving its identity and historical memory. Our house is ideally located for exploring Bosa. We accommodate you right between the younger and the older part of the historic city center. “La Vecchia Torre” marks the northern part of the small square called “Piazza dell’ Episcopio” and can also be reached by car.

You will very quickly feel the charm of our little town and feel comfortable within our historic walls. When you enter our house through the portal, a rustic barrel vault welcomes you. Vaulted ceilings are also present in other lovingly furnished rooms, while wooden ceilings can be found in the other rooms. Irrespective of this, you will feel the magic of our house and village with all your senses. Our rooms face either the Piazza dell’ Episcopio side or a small alley on the castle side, which is already in the older part of the city center named “Sa Costa”. Right behind our house you can climb a steep stone staircase directly up to Malaspina Castle. If you want to take it easy, simply turn left into one of the narrow streets and stroll through the winding medieval streets of the old town. IFrom our “Old Tower” you can also walk to the younger part of the historic city center within only two minutes. It is up to you which route you choose; head west along the Via Carmine, where you can find many wine cellars filled with the famous “Malvasia di Bosa” and where old ladies still exhibit their embroidery and filet art. Another route leads directly to the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, also called “Sa Piatta” by the locals, the heart of the city, framed by two rows of historic buildings and leading you to the city’s cathedral.

In the center you will also find all the services that will make your stay even more pleasant (bars, restaurants, museums, pharmacies, grocery stores, newspapers, souvenirs and more). Or you can walk along the river Temo, which will amaze you with its beautiful red trachyte stone bridge. Crossing “Su Ponte Ezzu”, as the stone bridge is called by locals, will lead you to the old tanneries, now a national monument. Here, too, you will find small restaurants right beside the river with traditional cuisine that invite you to spend romantic evenings. Along this route you can also watch fishermen returning with their catch of the day or after a day’s work preparing their nets for the next day. There is a lot that can be said about the enchanting Bosa and its hospitality, but nothing replaces your visit – welcome to “La Vecchia Torre”! Benvenuti a Bosa!

– BEST IN BOSA! –
