Holiday apartment in Senorbì as a base for culture and history

The MADN Archaeological Museum is located in the historic centre of Senorbì. The centrepiece of the museum is a two-storey historic house with a large loggia; the exhibition tour comprises six sections. The necropolis of Monte Luna offers another insight into the past, with around 120 tombs excavated there. Most are tombs with an access shaft and a single or double burial chamber. There are also rectangular shaft graves and several amphora burials.

On the hill of Santu Teru stands an acropolis with residential quarters and a defensive fortification wall. The remains of the fortified settlement include massive foundations and monumental public buildings. Villa Aresu also tells the story of the area: the complex has a covered area of 1,400 m² and is surrounded by more than 4,000 m² of land. It includes six stables that housed numerous horses. Villa Aresu was also the residence of a wealthy family from Senorbì.

Churches, art and living traditions

The Chiesa di Santa Barbara contains carved altars, a wooden crucifix and several remarkable 18th-century statues by the sculptor G. A. Lonis. The church is free of architectural barriers. The Chiesa di San Sebastiano was built in the early years of the 17th century because the plague was raging in the town. The Chiesa di Santa Mariedda dates from the 14th century and is also at the centre of a summer festival: a two-day celebration is held in its honour, featuring a sunset procession through the town’s streets that ends on the hill by the church.

The landscape around Senorbì also preserves several testimonies to Nuragic culture. These include Su Nuraxi in Sisini, part of the tower of the nuraghe at Simieri and the remains of the nuraghe at Monte Uda. At the Festa di Santa Vitalia, riders from all over southern Sardinia compete at a trot in the is Cuaddus de santa Vida. The finish is in the Sisini district, at Villa Aresu.

Trexenta, wine and changing landscapes

Senorbì lies in the agricultural region of Trexenta, with its many cultivated fields. Its appearance changes throughout the year: in autumn, brown ploughed earth predominates; in spring, green-growing wheat; and in summer, golden grain fields. The Cantina Trexenta is also part of the region’s character. It has a large interior space for guided wine tastings and group visits and offers a guided tour in Senorbì focusing on the local wine-making tradition, followed by a wine tasting.

This makes it possible to choose a holiday apartment in Senorbì according to different travel interests, without limiting your stay to a single theme. Museums, churches, archaeological sites, festivals, wine and the fields of Trexenta provide starting points for cultural days planned together, as well as for quieter hours between individual discoveries.
