Highlights
I’m Simonetta Bazzu and Battista, the village where my ancestors were born, is over 200 years old. Here i will guide you on a journey back in time. This experience takes place in a typical north Sardinian house, a traditional building in the countryside with granite stone walls and a cane roof. It’s my great-grandparents house. Here, I’ll reveal the three main secrets to a long, healthy Sardinian life: PASTA In my great-grandmother kitchen - 150 years old - you'll mix semolina and water to create ancient pasta shapes on a table carved from a centuries-old tree. As we cook, I’ll share stories and traditions that nourish both body and mind. WINE You'll visit a small artisan winery, explore winemaking tools, learn about Sardinian vineyards, and taste the wine of eternal youth. FOOD We’ll end with a typical Sardinian meal (lunch or dinner), featuring pasta you made, local cheeses, garden vegetables, fresh bread, desserts, and more — all organic, all authentic.

My friends and I had THE most incredible experience with Simonetta. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sardinia, we'd recommend it to anyone (couples, families, friends, solo). It was so special and will 100% be back!

5Pasta Making and Lunch with Simonetta
The pasta course with Simonetta was the highlight of our trip to Sardinia! Simonetta was great at teaching pasta making as well as adding to the story of her heritage. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a great experience with a lovely host
5Live , Pray and love
Being First generation Italian American had me in tears when I first saw the location . So welcoming, beautiful, kind and amazing. The Hostess understood exactly how I was feeling . Sometimes your glad your parents moved for a better future but at the same time you are living a completely different life because of culture and adjustment. I know its one time visit (maybe) but to experience it with my daughter , who is just as much as Italian then I am . We loved it!! the food was delicious, the scenery gorgeous. The company fun and pictures "wow" !!! take my word for it " La Dolce Vita"
5Simonetta was the...

5A must do!

Olbia lies at the head of a long, sheltered gulf on the north-east coast of Sardinia, and is a major ferry port for the island. It was founded by Greek settlers in the sixth century BC and later held by Carthage and Rome, and Roman ships and walls have been found under the modern centre. The Basilica of San Simplicio, a granite Romanesque church, stands in the town, and Corso Umberto is lined with shops and cafés.
