Ai Monti del Gennargentu

Eastern Sardinia


For a memorable meal in pastoral surroundings, climb to this charming white farmhouse on the high Montes plateau (6km south of Orgosolo). Meals start with appetisers of home-cured meats, pecorino cheese and vegetables, followed by homemade pasta and Sardinia's classic porcetto (spit-roast suckling pig garnished with myrtle leaves). For dessert don't miss the seadas (cheese-filled fried dough drizzled with honey).
