Posada

Posada is a place steeped in history on the east coast. A mighty castle, the Castello della Fava, provided protection for local farmers in the Middle Ages against raids by Saracens and pirates.

The village, which belongs to the ‘Club of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy’, is picturesquely situated on a hill in the middle of a fertile plain where wine, oranges and even peanuts are grown. Its steep, winding alleys with lovingly restored old houses invite you to explore (provided you are good on your feet). From the tower of the castle, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view for a small entrance fee.

The fine sandy, gently sloping beach of Posada, lined with shady pine forests, is one of the most beautiful on the entire island.

Sardafit's houses nos. 343 and 344 are located on the plain near Posada, close to the beach and beautifully situated amidst citrus plantations and fields.
