Agriturismo L’Aglientu

Northeastern Sardinia


Serene and delightfully green, this farmstead 20km west of Porto San Paolo is a fine country escape – you can even buy home-grown organic vegetables. The rooms are bright and rustic, with colour-scheme themes such as lemon, olive and lilac. There’s a laid-back vibe in the living room, where you can peruse the books and games.
