Top Italian Hotels & Resorts 2025

The experience at Su Gologone is immersive, intense, and deeply connected to nature, art, tradition, and thoughtful hospitality—rewarding those who choose this unconventional destination. It all begins with the karst spring of Su Gologone, whose waters feed the swimming pool and whirlpool, offering moments of pure relaxation that can be extended with spa treatments. The spaces are enriched with permanent exhibitions of 20th-century Sardinian painting, ceramics, traditional costumes, and tapestries, all seamlessly integrated into the setting without a museum-like feel. Thanks to the artistic vision of owner Giovanna Palimodde, there’s always something new—private gazebos, meditation and yoga terraces, or a stargazing rooftop. Creative workshops encourage guests to reconnect with hands-on crafts like painting, embroidery, and ceramics. After artistic expression, you can dive into the “bread nest,” where guests knead and bake traditional Sardinian breads like carasau. A path lined with 50 aromatic herbs and an organic garden sets the stage for a culinary journey blending tradition with innovation. Local wines like Nepente and Cannonau are paired with goat and sheep cheeses in a cozy juniper wood room designed to enhance their flavors. Each suite is unique, themed and decorated with handcrafted linens and embroidered fabrics from the in-house artisan studios. Guests can shape their own stay—adventure on horseback, canoeing, rock climbing, or moments of inner peace through yoga, cooking, and drawing classes. Even with the coast and Cala Gonone just 25 kilometers away, the welcoming atmosphere makes Su Gologone feel like a world apart—one you won’t want to leave. Su Gologone Oliena d e s i gn 158
