11/04/2026: This review relates exclusively to the restaurant.
"Antonio" is a chemist, alchemist, host, factotum, and strategist, in my humble opinion, responsible for the success of the experience. He manages time, warmly explains the product, and guides you through the experience with sobriety and genuine hospitality.
When it comes to breathing, eating, and drinking the region with its excellence, from the aperitif with wild herbs to the homemade bitters made with helichrysum, wild asparagus, or bay leaves. I don't think there's anything else to add.
A pearl nestled in the vibrant and culturally rich village of Santu Lussurgiu. A concentration of haute cuisine beyond compare. A few hundred meters away are the Sas Benas restaurant and the La Locanda del Convento pizzeria.
The wine list is incredible, ranging from island specialties to French excellence.
03/03/2026: A truly stunning 17th-century residence for a stop in Santu Lussurgiu. Although the setting is very picturesque, I can't give it 5 stars because:
- The room was a bit bare and dated. The parquet flooring was very noisy and slanted, so my single bed was also slanted. Furthermore, the topper was crooked and the mattress uncomfortable. I also slept poorly due to the noise from the restaurant; there's no soundproofing.
- The restaurant was OK, but for a dinner costing almost €50 a head, I might have expected a little more. It was all good, mind you, but pretty standard. It's worth noting that the service was impeccable, though!
So yes, it was a truly special experience, but for someone who's traveled to many hotels in different countries, I'd say the prices aren't adequate for the standard of service.
I'd happily return, but perhaps skipping dinner at the restaurant and especially with headphones to sleep 😅
