Nestled at the foot of mountains, this rural retreat is a delight, with a bougainvillea-draped terrace for balmy evenings. The local Cannonau red goes well with the Sardinian classics on the menu – culurgiones (Sardinian ravioli), porcetto (suckling pig) roasted to crackling perfection on a big open fire, and seadas al miele (light pastries with ricotta and bitter honey).
