Barbagia is the heart of Sardinia, a real island inside the Island . O ne of the least populated areas in Europe , Barbagia has preserved its cultural and natural treasures.
commonplace stating that Barbagia people have a narrow-minded attitude toward what comes from outside: a reputation easily denied on a quick contact with the local people, very warm and hospitable. What makes them seem somewhat distant is their pride and their claim to be respected, but they are willing to accept those who wish to know and appreciate their peculiarities.
During your stay, you can ride a horse to Tiscali prehistoric village, go on a jeep along the shepherds' routes, watch the traditional shawl embroiderer work, help making the typical local bread, su pani carasau , eat with the shepherds in their huts, enjoying the tasty roasted suckling piglets, pecorino cheese and strong scented wine.
Friday: h. 4.00 pm Departure for Oliena. Dinner and overnight at farm holiday center.
€ 295 per person (min. 6 participants)
