Zeddiani is located about 96 kilometres (60 mi) northwest of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia,[3] and about 9 kilometres (6 mi) north of Oristano, the capital of the province.[4] It is situated in the heart of the Campidano di Oristano, a fertile plain in western Sardinia known for its rich agricultural tradition. Situated just 9 meters above sea level, the town lies on a small terrace of fluvial sediments near the Cispiri River, with its territory nourished by the waters of the Rio Mare Foghe. This landscape is part of a broader plain formed by marine, river, and volcanic deposits, and is dotted with wetlands of high natural value.[5]
The municipality is surrounded by fields and vineyards, forming part of the renowned Vernaccia wine-producing triangle. Zeddiani's location places it among several other agricultural communities in the Province of Oristano. Easily accessible via the SP9 road, it lies just 2.5 kilometres (2 mi) south of San Vero Milis.[5]
