Accommodation
During the tour, you can choose between one of these accommodations selected by Kalitumba Travel.
Aldiola Country Resort
The Aldiola Country Resort, a delightful four-star hotel on the Costa Smeralda, lies in the Mediterranean scrub surrounded by secular cork and holm oaks. The hotel rises on the hills overlooking Lake Liscia.
The four-star hotel in Sardinia reflects the architectural features of the pastoral region of Gallura, with rooms arranged in characteristic buildings overlooking spectacular views of the lake.
All areas are furnished in typical Sardinian style with an attentive choice of various woodwork, fabrics, and ceramics produced by the finest craftsmen on the island.
Tenuta Pilastru
The Country Hotel Resort Tenuta Pilastru includes the main building called “Lu Pastrucciali” which contains a reception area, lounge, fireplace, as well as some of the hotel rooms. The majority of the rooms are located in small buildings spread throughout the surrounding property.
The farmhouse, situated in Gallura (northeast of Sardinia), is a typical “Stazzo” which became a comfortable farm holiday center. The estate is covering 150 hectares. In an enchanting setting, rooms and apartments have been integrated with the old dwelling dating from 1840 in full harmony with nature. With every step, they are stirred by new emotions.
Hotel Parco Degli Ulvi
The entire hotel building is crafted using wood, stone, granite, and ceramic to allow you to experience the traditions and craftsmanship of the artisans who work with the natural materials of their area. All combined with the comforts provided by modern technology.
Among the olive trees and Mediterranean scrub, you can admire the sunsets over the Gallurese countryside and relax in their open-air swimming pool, in the welcoming and light-filled lobby or on the covered terraces.
The five villas nestled in the large park and surrounded by mountains contain the reception, restaurant, and hotel rooms. In the heart of this natural oasis, you can go on a voyage of the senses via the flavors of refined cuisine, prepared with local products and with scents and seasoning from their own aromatic herb garden.
Hotel Villa Del Golfo
The sinuous architecture of the hotel follows the soft contours of the hill where it is located. Immersed in the greenery and the scents of myrtle and mastic, its porticos and terraces offer a wonderful view of the sea and gulf, of Caprera and other islands of La Maddalena Archipelago.
And inside amongst the refined furnishings are some extraordinary examples of authentic local craftsmanship to enjoy. Hospitality is as ancient as the region of Gallura in Sardinia and seems to emanate from the beauty of the landscape itself.
The evocative panorama of the Costa Smeralda and the welcome of the island will resonate at every moment you spend with them. Relax in their hotel’s intimate atmosphere, be seduced by the menu of the nearby La Colti farmhouse, or caressed by the mistral breeze on board their Yacht Bon Aria.
Other accommodation options include

- Cascioni Eco Retreat

Sardinia
Italy’s precious island! The natural contrasts, lights, and colors coming from this beautiful piece of nature is something its visitors never forget. The wild and pure nature found on this island is Mother Nature’s work of art.
They are located in the northern part of the island, close to the Costa Smeralda region. It’s well known for its picture perfect beaches, clear turquoise waters, and spectacular views.
The area in the North is surrounded by fascinating places to explore, ranging from the beach to the green lush countryside scattered with Nuraghi’s all around. Sardinia has a peculiar mountainous landscape and it is very rich in both fauna (deer, wild horses, and special birds) and flora. Many surfaces seem like they have never been touched by man and still have their natural composition.
