Dreamily set above vineyards, with views of granite peaks, this B&B combines rustic touches – tiled floors, wrought-iron bedsteads – with modern simplicity in its peaceful rooms. The ever-charming Emanuele is on hand to prepare breakfast, give tips or serve you a glass of local wine on the verandah at sundown. Heading north from Arzachena, find it at Km 347 on the SS125.
