Cascioni Eco Retreat, Arzachena - Sardinia

Cascioni has long been synonymous with this verdant estate, a bountiful plain cradled by a meandering stream that swells into the Saloni lagoon before its tranquil union with the sea. Encircled by undulating hills, the land is a tapestry of aromatic flora and lovingly tended olive and fruit groves, a testament to the family's dedication. The Cascioni Retreat breathes new life into the 'stazzo', Gallura's quintessential farmhouse, blending rustic allure with modern hospitality. At its core, the welcoming reception and the restaurant beckon, while the veranda's lounge bar gazes out over the manicured lawn and the sweeping pool. Descend to the wine cellar, a cozy enclave redolent with oak, promising tastings that tantalize the senses. The zenith of relaxation awaits at the wellness center, complete with a warm pool, sauna, and an array of rejuvenating treatments to be savored.

Cascioni Eco Retreat is an exclusive and intimate destination with only 10 Classic and Deluxe Pool Suites and 5 Prestige Pool Suites. Each suite is a private paradise with a veranda, a garden, a heated plunge pool, and views ranging from the picturesque countryside to the majestic sea. The suites are spacious, with a living room and bedroom where comfort and natural materials are the focus.

The Sardinian cuisine is a rich source of fascinating traditions and flavors. For those interested in exploring age-old cooking techniques and family recipes, this Retreat offers the opportunity to participate in various English-language cooking workshops. For example, you can take a walk through Cascioni's vegetable garden with a basket, and then, under guidance, prepare a unique vegetarian dish. Or discover how to preserve fruits and vegetables for a long time, just like our grandmothers did, with the 'Nature in a Jar' workshop. Additionally, there is a workshop at a nearby farm where you, under the guidance of a chef, will learn to prepare the authentic dishes of the region, such as the pasta specialties 'Chiusoni Galluresi' and 'Ravioli Galluresi', and the traditional dessert 'Seadas'. This culinary experience is completed with an aperitif of fine cured meats, cheeses, olives, and the crispy Guttiau bread. If you prefer a romantic candlelit dinner under the stars, a picnic among the olive trees, or an olive oil tasting, these options are also possible!

...for those in search of luxury and comfort that blends seamlessly with the natural environment, while still being conveniently close to the most stunning beaches of Sardinia.
