Calasetta is a small town located on the island of Sant'Antioco, off the Southwestern coast of Sardinia. The Island of Sant' Antioco is situated off the south western corner of Sardinia between Capo Teulada in the south, and the beautiful Costa Verde to the north. Approximately one hour's drive from Sardinia's capital, Cagliari, Calasetta is connected to mainland Sardinia by a causeway, allowing fast access to the airport for those arriving or leaving by air.

Calasetta is an excellent jumping-off point for sailing north to Alghero or Corsica, west to the Balearics or south to Cagliari, Tunisia or Sicily. There are also rich local cruising grounds to be found around the Islands of Sant'Antioco and San Pietro as well as many beautiful bays where visitors can relax on clean, white sand and swim in crystal clear, turqoise water.

The Calasetta territory has numerous beaches of suggestive beauty. The coast of Calasetta is steep and rocky to the west and low and sandy to the north-east. The coastline has been catted in three places which correspond with three marvellous beaches: "Spiaggiagrande" or "Porto Maggiore", the "Salina" and "Sottotorre”.

Calasetta is very famous for its characteristic urban tower which appears so often in images of the village. It was built before the little town was founded, around 1737, erected by the Savoy authorities to defend the channel between Sant'Antioco and the Island of San Pietro. The tower was used to keep watch for Saracen vessels.

Calasetta clearly lays claim to its Tabarkan origins and the language of Tabarka is spoken fluently even today. Among it many traditions there are plenty of feasts which have great charm. One of these is certainly the Feast of San Giovanni Battista, which alternates pagan rites with holy ones and involves the whole population in dancing and singing late into the night illuminated by a huge bonfire.
