Just a short drive from the city of Alghero and the Costa Smeralda, Agri Resort San Giuliano has cottage and villa accommodation on its 60-acre working farm.
They produce, amongst other things, classic San Giuliano extra virgin olive oil and keep animals including donkeys, hens, pigs, and horses.
Though very near the city, the location is blissfully rural and peaceful, and the views over the surrounding countryside, and of Alghero itself, are beautiful.
THE ACCOMMODATION:
They have a huge range of self-catering accommodation, from studio apartments to four-bedroom villas that can sleep up to nine people comfortably.
All of them are rustic and traditional in style, having been converted from various old farm buildings on the estate, but lacking nothing in terms of comfort or modern necessities.
Even the smallest studio has plenty of space and facilities including at least a well-equipped kitchenette, TV, and a washing machine for example, and all have at least some outdoor space: a balcony or private terrace.
Out in the gardens, there is loads of space to enjoy with a swimming pool with hydromassage, two children’s playgrounds, and plenty of deck chairs and sun loungers, etc.
The estate has a nice hillside location and there are hiking trails around that lead higher into the hills and offer even better views than from the farm.
Horse riding trips and mountain biking around the local area can also be arranged.
You are also welcome to visit the farm, where you can meet the animals and take part in guided tours from the ever-hospitable staff.
The owners can show you what goes into making their classic San Giuliano olive oil and olive oil paste.
The accommodation is self-catering and there is a good supermarket just 2km down the road from where you can get supplies.
You can collect basic supplies from reception, too, some lovely fresh homemade bread, for example.
As you drive the road between the agriturismo and Alghero you’ll also find quite a few local farmer’s stalls where you can buy quality fresh fruit and vegetables directly from the source.
There is a quality restaurant within walking distance, too, and you also have the option of joining some of the organized barbecue evenings and barbecue lunches in the gardens.
THE LOCATION:
The lovely city of Alghero and the gorgeous Costa Smeralda beaches that surround it are a highlight of any visit to Sardinia and can be reached in about 15 minutes by car.
Of course, they can get quite busy in summer, so staying at this particular agriturismo is a way to enjoy both while also enjoying some relaxing downtime in the privacy of the estate.
There are also a number of archaeological sites nearby and you can enjoy many different activities: sailing, diving, mountain biking, horse riding, trekking, climbing, golfing, visiting local wineries, etc.
The owners of Agri Resort San Giuliano have plenty of local knowledge and can help with organizing tours, activities, etc.
