A PLACE TO BE
The raw beauty of Sardinia's landscape is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the rugged coastline to the rolling hills adorned with olive groves and vineyards, every inch of the island exudes a timeless charm. Our sustainable homestead, nestled amidst this natural wonder, allows us to live in harmony with the environment, cultivating a sense of gratitude for the land that sustains us.
We are situated on the foothills of the Gutturu Mannu WWF Park which is part of the larger Monte Arcosu national park. From the land you get stunning views of these mountains. We are currently working to help the land transition into a more bio-diverse and 'wild' place that can provide comfort and sustenance for both humans and animals. We bought the land as an abandoned fruit orchard that grew a variety of citrus trees. By deploying permaculture techniques and food forest design we plan to increase the resilience of the ecosystem to drought periods while making for a more interesting and bio-diverse place where all lifeforms are valued as integral parts of the whole system.
Choosing Sardinia
In a world filled with hustle and bustle, my partner and I found ourselves yearning for a life that aligned with our values of sustainability and a deeper connection to nature. After much contemplation, we made the bold decision to pack our bags and set up our sustainable homestead in the heart of Sardinia, captivated by the island's unique culture, raw natural beauty, and inviting climate.
Sardinia, often overlooked in favor of more popular destinations, won our hearts with its enchanting blend of tradition and modernity. The island's rich culture, steeped in history and folklore, embraces a slow-paced lifestyle that resonated with our desire for a simpler, more meaningful existence. The warmth and openness of the locals made us feel at home and invited into the community.
Sardinia's climate, a gift from nature that ensures a bountiful harvest and a comfortable lifestyle. The sun-kissed days and mild evenings provide the perfect backdrop for our sustainable practices, allowing us to grow our own food and harness renewable energy with ease. Sardinia's climate not only supports our ecological goals but also enhances our overall well-being, making every day a celebration of the island's gifts.
In embracing Sardinia, we've found more than just a new home; we've discovered a way of life that harmonizes with our values, surrounded by a culture that cherishes tradition, a landscape that leaves us breathless, and a climate that nurtures our sustainable dreams. Our journey to this idyllic island has been nothing short of transformative, as we work towards building a future that is not just sustainable but deeply fulfilling.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
How can I begin to describe my time at Sa Ritirada... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Sardinia would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Sa Ritirada, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
