Su Gologone

Top choice in Eastern Sardinia


Treat yourself to a spot of rural luxury at Su Gologone, nestled in glorious countryside 7km east of Oliena. Rooms are decorated with original artworks and handicrafts, and the facilities are top notch – it has a pool, a spa, a wine cellar and a restaurant, which is considered one of Sardinia’s best.

Note: the bridge on the SP46 between Dorgali and Oliena was closed for years but is due to reopen in 2019. In the meantime, approach from the Oliena side.
