ABOUT US
We have been coming to the island for over 35 years, consider ourselves "mezzo" Sardinians and are in Cabras as often as possible. Our fascination with and the love of the traditional Sardinian cuisine culminated in a cookbook (Die Küche Sardiniens/Hans-Peter Broeckerhoff). On the website https://www.sardinien-auf-den-tisch.eu/ you will find culinary articles and information in German language about Sardinian cuisine and Sardinian wine.
We are often asked why we fell in love with Cabras. The reasons are numerous - 40 kilometers of breath taking coast line and the wonderful beaches of the Sinis peninsula, the rich bird life around the Stagno and the many archaeological gems. Add to that oranges, lemons, olives, pomegranates, myrtle, rosemary and lavender in our garden, the view of the Stagno di Cabras and last but not least the hospitality and friendliness of the Crabarissi, their cuisine, their wine - do we need to say more?
The british Guardian once described the Sinis coastline as "the wild west of Sardinia", a very apt description of this for the large part still undeveloped coast and the rich fauna and flora (spring here is a feast for eyes and nose). If it's Tuesday it must be .... Is Arutas? Or Maimoni? Mari Ermi? The choice is your's, in fact you can choose a different beach for every day of the week and all within a short driving distance.
Cabras is still authentically Sardinian, without frills and chic chic, we like that.
Apart from the coast and beaches what else is there which makes Sa Domu Peparosa a good choice for your hols?
Supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies and the weekly market are within walking distance as is the museum Giovanni Marongiu with it's exhibition of the famous "Giganti di Monte Prama". The nearest beach (Torregrande) is just under 2 km away, the Sinis Peninsula offers wonderful beaches with 40 km of coastline which can be reached in a short time by bus or car.
The Sinis Peninsula is known for its wide sandy and quartz pebble beaches. Even the names sound enticing: Is Arenas, Is Arutas, Maimoni, San Giovanni di Sinis, Sala da Ballo, Sa Rocca Tunda, Sa Mesa Longa - all are close to Cabras and can be reached in a short time.
Whether on the sandy beach of San Giovanni di Sinis or the white quartz pebble beaches of Is Arutas or Maimoni, vacationers are spoiled for choice and can visit a different beach every day of their vacation. A sea shimmering in all shades of blue and turquoise is reminiscent of the Caribbean on some days, the sunsets over the catalano, a large rock in the open sea, remain unforgettable. In San Giovanni, the rock tombs of the Phoenicians right on the beach are witnesses to a bygone era, while the archaeological site of Tharros is reminiscent of the Phoenicians and Romans, who ruled this part of Sardinia for a long time.
Cabras is not only known for its beautiful beaches on the Sinis Peninsula, but also for the 'bottarga', the dried roe of the mullets (Italian: muggine) that live in the Stagno di Cabras. The Stagno is farmed by a fishermen's cooperative, the 'muggine' caught here are an integral part of the Cabrarisso cuisine and are also appreciated throughout Sardinia. The muggine roe is salted, pressed and dried in the sun. Thinly sliced and served with a little drizzle of olive oil and topped with fresh, raw artichoke hearts or thinly sliced celery, it's a popular appetizer.
