Baunei | What to see and where to stay, Supramonte
Baunei
Clinging to a limestone ledge at 480 metres, Baunei is the gateway to the seaside Supramonte: from here you climb to the Golgo and descend to the Mediterranean's finest coves. A shepherds' village turned trekking capital.
Details and how to get there
## The vertical village Baunei is walked uphill: steep alleys, stone houses, murals of agro-pastoral life, and at every corner a sweeping view down the valley to the sea.
From the viewpoint at the village entrance you can see the coast to Arbatax on clear days.
## The Golgo The road climbing behind the church reaches the Golgo plateau in ten hairpins: goats, donkeys and pigs graze free among juniper sheepfolds and the chasm of Su Sterru, a 270-metre karst abyss.
The rural church of San Pietro, with its ancient betyls, is the community's spiritual heart.
## At the table Baunei is the place for shepherds' cooking: kid goat, suckling pig, culurgiones and cheese from the Golgo refuges.
On the plateau you dine beneath holm oaks after a hike — always book in summer.
