Why choose autumn in Ogliastra
Between September and early November, Ogliastra lives its truest season: beaches empty out, the Supramonte trails become walkable without the heat, villages return to their rhythms and the countryside smells of harvest and olives. This is the Sardinia off-season travellers look for: authentic, silent, affordable.
A September or October holiday in Sardinia costs less and gives more: you park at Cala Sisine, eat where locals eat, and actually talk to people.
The sea is still warm
The Mediterranean releases summer's heat slowly: in September the water stays at 22–24 °C, and in October it rarely drops below 21 °C. You can swim at Cala Mariolu until late October, often with just a few boats around. Days exceed 25 °C; evenings ask only for a light jacket.
The best beaches, without the crowds
The coves of the Gulf of Orosei in autumn are a privilege for the few: the same turquoise water as August, none of the queues.
Hiking: the perfect season
Autumn is the right moment for Ogliastra's trails: mild temperatures, golden light, silence. From the Selvaggio Blu to the walks towards Pedra Longa and the Golgo plateau, every hike starts minutes from the farmhouse.
Discover the Selvaggio Blu →Food & wine: harvest season
September and October are Cannonau months: the wineries of Jerzu and nearby villages open for the harvest, and restaurants cook for locals again. Culurgiones, roast suckling pig, pistoccu bread, new olive oil — autumn is the best season to eat in Ogliastra.
