Sardinia is an ancient land, the oldest – geologically speaking – in Italy. If you enjoy discovering historic and mysterious places, this destination is perfect for you. In the territory of Villa Arzachena there are several archeological sites that are worth a visit. All are easily reached from the Punta Est hotel.

We have put together the “Top 10”:

Tomb of the Giants at Coddu Vecchiu
La Prisgionia Nuraghe
Tomb of the Giants at Moru
The Small Temple at Malchittu
Tomb of the Giants at Li Longhi
Li Muri Necropolis
Albucciu Nuraghe
Roccia Il Fungo, Incappiddatu Mountains
Arzachena Museum

In the heart of Gallura, in the small city of Luras, there is an “eternal” place where we find some of the oldest Olive trees in Europe. The imposing “S’Ozzastru”- a Natural and National Monument estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000 years old – keeps watch over the entire valley.

A temple in which you can admire the magnificence of nature and – surrounded by its “unreal” silence – reflect on time and on life.

The Porto Cervo Wine Festival is a meeting between several Sardinian and Italian vineyards, an enthusiastic public of connoisseurs, operators in the Hotelier-Restaurant-Café sector and selected international buyers.

The event is unique in its genre, markedly glamorous, like the city that hosts the event. Against an international backdrop of incredible charm, it offers yet another occasion to visit the Emerald Coast in May, when Sardinia again offers serenity and moments of relaxation at low season prices.

The Porto Cervo Food Festival is slated for the start of June. “Brother” to the Porto Cervo Wine Festival, it offers an ambiance similar to the latter and is an important meeting place for various Sardinian and Italian agricultural and food companies. For the tourist, it is a “tasty” occasion to combine the pleasure of a vacation on the Emerald Coast with the discovery of the Sardinian and Italian agricultural and food panorama.

“Autumn in Barbagia” as we know it since 2001, in reality has earlier origins. In 1996 the City of Olliena decided to organize an event called “Cortes Apertas” – Open Courtyards. The private homes of the city opened their courtyards to the public, creating an itinerary made of aromas, flavors and skills.

In 2001 it was decided to carry out a unitary project with the participation of other Municipalities of Gallura. Thus was born Autumn in Barbagia. Today the event is enjoying considerable success and represents a significant food and wine and artistic event. Keeper of ancient knowledge and traditions, he passes them on to today's public in an itinerant journey through 28 inland towns.
