We are the golden-yellow broom that bows over rocky trails like huge burning lamps.
We are the wild solitude, the immense and profound silence,
the luminance of the sky, the white cistus flower.

We are the uninterrupted dominion of the mastic tree, of waves that flow over ancient granite, of wild roses, of the wind, of the immensity of the sea.

We are a land of long silences, of vast unspoiled horizons, of sombre trees, of mountains burnt by sun and vengeance.

We are Sardinians.

Sardinia, the endless island

The Italian island of Sardinia is one of the most beautiful in the world, with white beaches and crystal clear seas. For this reason, it is one of the most popular destinations for tourists from all corners of the globe.

People say that Sardinia has two contrasting faces. The first is the interior – timeless with rugged landscapes, mountains and wild valleys, forests of cork oaks and olive trees; the second is the coast – endless, with the gold of the sand, the silver of the rocks, the blue of sky and sea. But few know about the third face, the Ogliastra region.
It is the only place capable of uniting the other two worlds and helping us discover what they have in common – adherence to tradition, the most sacred of which is hospitality.

Ogliastra, where the land and sounds
are still the same as 100 years ago.

Situated between the Tyrrhenian Sea on the eastern coast of Sardinia and the peaks of the Gennargentu massif, the territory of Ogliastra boasts a wild and unspoilt landscape, offering an endless array of unique and varied scenery thanks to the blend of sea and mountains.

Often referred to as a natural amphitheatre on the sea, Ogliastra is rich in archaeological sites such as megalithic stone towers (nuraghe), chamber tombs (domus de janas), giants’ tombs (tombe dei giganti) and menhirs. It also offers numerous unspoilt beaches that are considered some of the most beautiful in the world, such as Cala Goloritzè and Cala Mariolu.

Its 87 kilometres of coastline give rise to splendid oases of sand wedged between the sea and rocks, forming one of the most enchanting seascapes in the Mediterranean.
