In the heart of Barbagia, between Nuoro and the rugged Supramonte, lies a land where Sardinia’s most authentic soul is still alive. Here, age-old traditions meet dramatic landscapes: mountain plateaus, deep canyons, and ancient forests frame villages where time seems to stand still.
 

Nuoro, quiet and introspective, is a cultural stronghold, home to museums, artisan workshops and the legacy of Nobel laureate Grazia Deledda. Just beyond, Orgosolo’s painted walls tell stories of struggle and identity, while trails through the Supramonte reveal caves, shepherd huts, and sweeping views — a paradise for hikers, nature lovers and those seeking the island’s wild, unfiltered beauty.
