The result of careful restoration of an ancient Gallura Farmhouse, "La Colti", is perhaps one of the Resort's facilities that best represents the true roots.

An experience of rare intensity that allows you to discover the most authentic Sardinian gastronomic traditions.

Here you may enjoy a sunset aperitif, candlelit dinner provided by the MiraLuna Restaurant making your special occasion unique.

Here you may enjoy some Sardinian seafood and local wines whilst peacefully sailing around the enchanted Gallura coastline creating some truly magical moments to be remembered.

Really liked the hotel and staff - would happily recommend it. Food more expensive than we expected. Second time I have booked a holiday through Essential Italy - very impressed on both occasions and have recommended the company to plenty of people. Thank you for your help!
