Seven days, one base, no repacking: Ogliastra is compact and generous, and from I Mandorli everything is within reach. Here is our tried-and-tested itinerary, to adapt to your pace.
We say it as locals: September is Ogliastra's worst-kept secret. The sea keeps its August warmth, the trails cool down, villages live harvest and festival season — and our rates drop from €80.
Two days are enough to understand why Ogliastra is unlike the rest of Sardinia — if you choose well. This weekend is designed for substance: stone, a hard-earned sea, real food.
A vintage train climbing from sea to heels at 30 km/h, through hand-dug tunnels and viaducts suspended over woods: the Trenino Verde is the most poetic way to read Ogliastra.
