Agriturismo Vaddidulimu

Agriturismo Vaddidulimu was recommended to us when my husband was chatting to a local on one of the windsurfing beaches in Porto Pollo. We decided to drive the very scenic 20 minutes into the beautiful hinterland of northern Sardinia's Gallura region to see if a room at the farm was available. Even without a reservation we were instantly made to feel so welcome by the wonderful staff and knew that this was the perfect place to stay. Our room was typically Mediterranean - clean, comfortable and airy with a porch overlooking the stunning green, hilly, countryside which was spotted with cork trees. The staff were delighted to share their knowledge of the area and gave us a significant amount of their time recommending the best places to see in the north of the island and helping us put together an itinerary for the rest of our stay. You can stay on a B&B basis or a dinner B&B basis. As a keen cook and gardener, it was a pleasure to see breakfast and dinner being prepared with the produce of the farm and local area including wild herbs. The Agriturismo also make their own lovely wine which is served with dinner and what a delicious feast of local specialities dinner is - not to be missed. The breakfast was one of the most substantial we received whilst in Sardinia as it seems most B&B's serve the more Italian style coffee and biscuit. This was an advantage for those taking part in activities during the day. Another enjoyable element of our stay was that guests dine together, so you get the opportunity to mix which was sociable and fun. Fortunately we arrived off season, otherwise I would recommend booking because this is a popular Agriturismo with both tourists keen to enjoy cycling, motorbiking, hiking and simply just travelling around this most beautiful of islands and locals who came for the sumptuous dinner and the company of the fabulous staff.
