A 128-metre needle of limestone and dolomite planted in the Tyrrhenian: Pedra Longa has been a natural monument since 1993 and is one of Sardinia's most photographed silhouettes. The Selvaggio Blu starts here — and the best sunsets end here.
An aragonite cathedral opening at water level between Cala Sisine and Cala Mariolu: the Fico Cave was the monk seal's last Sardinian home, and today you step into it straight from the boat.
A 50-metre limestone tower resting at 1,300 metres: Perda 'e Liana is Sardinia's most recognisable natural monument, visible across half of Ogliastra like a stone lighthouse.
Four hundred metres above the sea, a world apart: the Golgo is Baunei's wild plateau, where donkeys and goats roam free among twisted junipers, stone sheepfolds and the trails descending to the Mediterranean's finest coves.
Between mid-January and March, while elsewhere it is still deep winter, the Ogliastra countryside turns white and pink: almond blossom season, Sardinia's most quietly moving spectacle. For us it is not just scenery — it is the name of our home.
