ph. +39 0789 88440

The intense aroma of a huge grill where the "porceddu" rotates, the charm of eating outdoors near the large carob tree or in an indoor room next to the fireplace: at Agriturismo La Colti - owned by the Filigheddu Serra family - food goes hand in hand with a true experiential journey back in time, to an era when in this corner of Gallura people dined illuminated by the fire of a lit fireplace and dishes tasted of simple yet flavorful things. A multitude of ancient flavors that echo between the patio of the stone farmhouse and the surrounding greenery where you can catch glimpses of the vegetable garden and grazing livestock. A staple on the table at Li Colti, as well as during celebrations and "a li coi," which are Sardinian wedding lunches, is the "Suppa Cuata," the Gallura-style soup with stale bread, beef broth, cow cheese, parsley, and cinnamon. Melting filling, golden crust, and intense flavor. Open for dinner from 7:30 PM every day from Easter to October.
