Orosei and Irgoli
These two places are ideal for anyone who wants to experience authentic Sardinia, off the beaten track. Enjoy the stunning natural beauty, the countryside and the warm hospitality of the Sardinians.
The Sardafit House 620 is situated on the outskirts of the historic town of Orosei, which ranks among the most charming places on the east coast. Its townscape is characterised by numerous medieval and Baroque buildings, including no fewer than thirteen churches of art-historical significance. There is a wide range of bars, cafés and restaurants. Well worth a visit is the Guiso Museum in the Palazzo Caserma Vezza, which houses puppet theatres dating from the 18th to the 21st centuries that delight children and adults alike. To the south of Orosei lie the fascinating ruins of a Nuragic village.
A few kilometres inland, surrounded by a stunning mountainous landscape, lies the ancient shepherds’ village of Irgoli. Even today, the population here consists mainly of shepherds and farmers. Irgoli is famous for its traditional Sardinian sausages, known as salsicce, which are delicious when paired with pane carasau and one of the full-bodied red wines from the village’s surrounding area. Those interested in culture should not miss the archaeological museum, which houses artefacts from the nearby Nuragic sites. Nature lovers can go for a walk in the Talachè nature reserve with its ancient holm oaks. On the outskirts of Irgoli stands the Sardafit House 650.
