La Vignaredda Residenza d'Epoca

Northeastern Sardinia


To really appreciate the region's tranquility, stay at this beautifully converted manor house at the town's edge. Exposed granite, cosy nooks, traditional furnishings and family heirlooms lend character without spilling over into chintz, and everything is done with care and love – from the flowery gardens to the homemade cakes at breakfast. Excursions with local guides can be arranged on request.
