From the Supramonte to the Infinite Blue: The Sea of Ogliastra
Think Urzulei is only about mountains? Prepare to have your breath taken away. Just a short drive away, you can reach the magnificent Ogliastra coast and dive into a picture-perfect sea:
Santa Maria Navarrese: A picturesque and welcoming coastal village, whose beautiful beaches are framed by shady, centuries-old pine forests and watched over by an ancient Spanish tower. From here, or from the nearby port of Cala Gonone, you can easily embark to explore the coast.

The Pearls of the Gulf of Orosei: Discover the famous large caves on the sand of Cala Luna and the white beach of Cala Sisine. Dive into the surreal turquoise waters at Cala Mariolu and Cala dei Gabbiani, or admire the iconic rock arch and majestic pinnacle of Cala Goloritzé.

Fine Sand and Red Rocks: If you love soft, sandy shorelines, the wonderful beaches of Lido di Orrì and the transparent waters of Cea, with its unmistakable red porphyry sea stacks, await you for days of pure sun and relaxation.

A Journey in Taste: The Authentic Flavors of Urzulei
Your holiday won't be complete without immersing yourself in the intense flavors of our culinary tradition. Typical local restaurants and village shops are ready to delight you:
The Supramonte Platter: Start with the famous and savory Urzulei prosciutto, paired with aged cheeses and crispy piggiolu (our traditional artisanal bread, similar to carasau).

Traditional Pastas: Fall in love with Culurgiones stuffed with potatoes and cheese, rigorously sealed by hand. Try the hearty Macarrones de busa, the typical pasta shaped around a knitting needle and dressed with intense meat ragùs, and don't miss the true local masterpiece: Is Macarrones Imboddiaos, a must-try dish where the pasta is tossed and enveloped in a spectacular and abundant cream of stringy fresh cheese.

Flavors of the Fire: Let yourself be intoxicated by the aroma of Porceddu (suckling pig) or kid goat, slowly spit-roasted and flavored with myrtle branches.

Local Sweets: End your meal with a warm, golden Seadas covered in local honey, toasting your holiday with a generous glass of Cannonau wine.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable holiday in Urzulei, where the fascinating ruggedness of the mountain melts into the sweetness of the sea and the warm hospitality of our people.
