Immerse yourself in nature on our estate, walk among the olive and fruit trees, in the vegetable garden, among the Mediterranean herbs and the beauty of the lagoon. Take a solitary stroll to learn the names of the plants. Choose Polvere di stelle (Stardust), a dinner served under the stars; or enjoy Il Cestino delle Meraviglie (the Basket of Wonders), a tasty mid-day snack set up under the trees. Or why not let Acque Placide (Tranquil Waters), a canoe excursion to the Saloni oasis, enthral you?

Explore the peasant traditions of Gallura, learning about the olive harvest and the first oil it produces; the honey from the bees that pollinate our fruit trees; the produce grown in the garden and immediately used in the kitchen. Learn about working in a farm and cooking with real food. And learn traditional recipes by participating in La natura in un vasetto (Nature in a Jar), a fun workshop where you’ll make sweet and savoury jams; or by joining Dall’orto alla padella (From the Garden to the Pan), a hands-on experience dedicated to organic cuisine. Then share in the excitement of tasting the new oil and local wine, discovering the secrets of a long and healthy life. Sardinia is home to many centenarians, after all!

Discover a different culture. Listen to the sounds of an ancient and unique language. Hear the myriad voices of a people with traditions dating back thousands of years. Contemplate the art of cork, of carving, of weaving. Learn more about vegetable dyes or weaving, or take a short course on ceramics and decoration. Want to pick up some Italian? Join Quattro chiacchiere (Chit-chat), a fun gathering for foreigners. And then delve back into the wealth of traditions the island offers: a monument to bygone days, and a symbol of a past that is still present here today.
