Less rush.
More connection.
In Sardinia’s central-eastern highlands, longevity is part of a wider story of place, family and tradition. This journey takes inspiration from that story, inviting you to explore the island through its kitchens, village lanes, woodland paths and shared tables.
With three nights around Villagrande Strisaili and three on the Ogliastra coast, there is time to settle in. Your days are shaped around your interests and preferred walking pace, with space to pause along the way.
A cultural and slow-travel experience inspired by Sardinian longevity traditions; no medical treatments or health outcomes are promised.

Seven days, at your own pace.

Arrive at Cagliari Airport and travel privately towards Villagrande Strisaili, in the hills of Ogliastra. Allow the afternoon for the journey and settling into your accommodation, with a scenic pause when arrival time permits.
A relaxed welcome dinner introduces the flavours of the region and the days ahead. No scheduled sightseeing: simply time to arrive.

Villagrande: village life and woodland paths.

At the table: recipes, hands and stories.
Spend the morning with a local cook, discovering the ingredients and family recipes of Ogliastra. A hands-on culurgiones session offers an introduction to the region’s distinctive filled pasta, followed by a shared lunch.
In the afternoon, arrange an encounter with a local producer or craftsperson, according to availability. The focus is conversation and everyday knowledge, with time to enjoy the experience rather than move quickly to the next stop.

Ulassai: art, landscape and a change of rhythm.

Baunei and the Mediterranean horizon.
Head into the hills around Baunei with a guide for a scenic outing. Choose an easier walk with viewpoints or a longer route, agreed in advance according to your mobility and interests. There is no need to tackle a strenuous trek to enjoy the landscape.
Return to the coast for an unhurried afternoon. In warmer weather, there may be time for a swim; at other times of year, a seaside walk and a terrace stop offer their own pleasures.
Overnight: Ogliastra coast · Night 2 of 3
A day by the sea. A table to remember.
When sea conditions allow, take a private coastal boat outing from Santa Maria Navarrese, with time to appreciate the cliffs and clear water at a relaxed pace. Swimming stops depend on conditions and personal preference.
If the sea does not cooperate, enjoy a land-based alternative with your guide. End the journey with a farewell dinner celebrating favourite discoveries and the people who made them memorable.

Leave with recipes, stories and a different sense of pace—small reminders of a week lived thoughtfully.
