Borgo Lu Puleu

Welcome to Il Borgo, a timeless place that safeguards ancient stories and lives long lived. Here, in a rural settlement that reached its peak at the end of the 19th century, generations have followed one another—children who grew old, with their memories still alive in the objects they left behind and in the whispers of the wind that blows steadily, carrying voices from a distant past.

At Il Borgo, modernity and its frenzy have arrived quietly, without disturbing. Here, you are free from the burdens that modern man strangely considers luxuries. At Il Borgo, you can embrace *otium*, a time dedicated to yourself and others, to nature, art, literature, music, philosophy, botany, and cooking. It’s a place for those who still want to lose themselves in the stories carried by the wind, perhaps around the fireplace that brings warmth to summer evenings.

Il Borgo is also a haven of sustainability: our courtesy sets feature handcrafted, 100% natural bath products, free from chemicals and packaged in biodegradable materials. We live in harmony with nature, avoiding the use of chemical products to manage insects like mosquitoes, flies, and ants. Here, nature is a companion, not an enemy to be fought.

Savor the culinary wonders crafted by our chef, Ezio Celano, in a dining room that overlooks the valley of the Coghinas River all the way to the sea. Every evening, the flavors of the past blend with local traditions in a multisensory experience that we call the "Borgo Experience." Here, the gourmet dinner is a shared ritual: all guests gather at the same time, just as it used to be, to enjoy the pleasure of dining together.

Each room at Il Borgo tells a story, a fragment of a lived life, inviting you to immerse yourself in a world of memories and traditions.

LA CANTASTORIE (The Storyteller): Step into Aunt Leonarda’s room, where summer afternoons still echo with her fantastic tales. The endless songs of cicadas accompany an eternal childhood, preserved within these walls.

LA PANIFICATRICE (The Breadmaker): This room pays homage to Mamma Minori, master of the breadmaking art. Here, the old oven still whispers with warmth, telling the stories of those who turned flour into bread for the Borgo.

LA TESSITRICE (The Weaver): Dedicated to Zietta, this room preserves the old loom and the creations of a weaver who knew how to turn threads into precious fabrics. Here, every object resounds with the skills and secrets of an almost forgotten craft.

LA LETTRICE (The Reader): Once the small school of the Borgo, this room is now dedicated to Grandma Mariedda, welcoming souls that are inspired by her energy and wisdom-filled tales.

LA VIANDANTE (The Wayfarer): Among the oldest rooms, this space reflects the generosity of young Bastiana, who left a mat by the hearth for tired travelers. Even today, the fireplace warms the nights of our guests, keeping the tradition of hospitality alive.

LA MUSICANTE (The Musician): Here, nature and sound merge in a symphony of myrtle, cork, and mastic. A refuge for those who want to be cradled by the natural rhythms of the Borgo.

LA VISIONARIA (The Visionary): Climb eighteen stone-carved steps to enter this room, as tall as a Nuraghe. With its cobalt blue ceiling, it embraces the first rays of sunlight each day, offering breathtaking views of the Limbara valley.

LE COMARI (The Friends): This room celebrates female friendship, a bond that transcends generations. Here, portraits of women from different eras engage in a silent dialogue of complicity.

LA MADRE (The Mother): Dedicated to motherhood and roots, this room shelters the guest beneath a large iron embrace, adorned with a wooden cradle filled with books about Sardinia. A journey through origins and family history.

Every corner of Il Borgo invites you to slow down, to listen, and to immerse yourself in a more human rhythm, where time is measured not in minutes but in emotions and memories. This is a sanctuary for the soul, a place that regenerates not only the land but also those who visit. Come rediscover your roots and live a unique experience, far from the rush of the modern world. At Il Borgo, every visit feels like coming home.
