Cortis Antigas is a cozy boutique hotel in the center of Gesturi, perfect if you don't want to sleep at an average address. The authentic house is an hour's drive from Cagliari Airport and close to the well-known Nuraghe Su Nuraxi in Barumini. You can also take beautiful walks through the natural park of the Giara di Gesturi, discover the medieval castle of Sanluri or take part in one of the cooking classes that this accommodation organizes.
About the accommodation
In central southern Sardinia, at the foot of the Giara di Gesturi natural park, home to the small wild ponies, lies the atmospheric boutique hotel Cortis Antigas. The idea to transform the old residence into an attractive accommodation came from a young archaeologist who wanted to let guests relive the real Sardinia. During the renovation, the building was completely refurbished, but of course authentic elements have been preserved. You can also admire the Ingenious construction techniques; stone walls, wooden roofs and original floors. The interior is also entirely in style. The courtyard of the house forms cozy corners where you can relax while enjoying a good glass of wine.
Rooms
Stylish rooms that take you back in time but with the comfort of today. All spaces are intimate and characterized by stone walls and authentic furniture. From the window you look out over the surrounding noble villas or the courtyards of Cortis Antigas. Each room has a private bathroom and is equipped with air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
Activities
Cortis Antigas is located among the narrow streets in the heart of the historic center of Gesturi. A suggestive location where you have the feeling of staying in a traditional village. From the accommodation you can reach the archaeological site of Su Nuraxi in 5 minutes by car, recognized in 1997 as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Would you rather stay “at home” than book a cooking class! During this 2.5 hour workshop you will learn all about the secrets of fresh pasta and the class will conclude with a tasting of the hand-made dishes and a glass of wine.

Gesturi
Gesturi is a small, authentic village near Barumini located at the foot of the plateau Giara di Gesturi in central Sardinia.
This high land of approximately 43 square kilometres at an altitude of ca. 500 metres is made of volcanic basalt rocks overgrown with cork oaks, oaks, eucalyptus and Mediterranean vegetation. In spring the characteristic “paùli” are formed, small sinkings which fill up with rainwater, forming an impressive number of beautiful ponds covered in common water-crowfoot, functioning as a water supply for the many animals in the area. Besides an extraordinary bird population (with, among others, falcons, woodpeckers, thrushes and woodchat shrikes) the area houses wild boars, foxes, pine marten and rabbits. However, the high land is renowned for the Cavallini della Giara, small wild horses of approximately 120 centimetres, presumably brought here in the past from the Orient.

Nature, Nuraghe and old mines
A stunning example of the beautiful natural reserves in this region is found near Gesturi. The high land Giara di Gesturi is made of volcanic basalt rocks overgrown with cork oaks, oaks, eucalyptus and Mediterranean vegetation. In spring the characteristic “paùli” are formed, small sinkings that fill up with rainwater, forming an impressive number of beautiful ponds covered in common water-crowfoot, functioning as a water supply for the many animals in the area. The plateau is renowned for the Cavallini della Giara, small wild horses. Su Nuraxi di Barumini, a nuraghe complex at the foot of the Giara di Gesturi, dating back 3500 years, is declared the most important nuragic monument in Sardinia by UNESCO. Via the deserted mining village Ingurtosu and high sand dunes you’ll arrive at the often somewhat wild sea of Piscinas, part of the western coastal area of Arbus, a village which is renowned for its handmade Sardinian knives used by shepherds. You can also visit the Museo del Coltello Sardo.
