The Su Gologone Hotel is located in the town of Oliena and seeks a more country experience with its motto “back to nature”
The Su Gologone hotel is focused on experiences located on the island of Sardinia, specifically in the Barbagia region and in the heart of Supramonte, so it provides a great visual experience with unique landscapes and impressive places to visit and enjoy.
The 4-star hotel offers a real island-based experience and shows a balanced mix between the traditional Barbagia aesthetic and the modern touch, creating a unique and welcoming space for each visitor.
The aesthetic is carefully designed with fabrics, cushions, ceramics, glass, etc. specially designed and created by local artists and directed under the watchful eye of Giovanna Palimodde, owner of Su Gologone Hotel, but also artist and art collector.
Its wonderful interior, a mix of tradition and contemporaneity, rivals the exterior. The place where the building is located allows you to have wonderful views of Mount Corrasi from any point, offering a relaxing and inspiring environment.
The Su Gologone hotel is the best option for a unique trip with different and innovative experiences where your trip is not based on a hotel and a building but on the sensations and feelings generated by the space, the experiences and everything that the hotel itself offers to visitors in a personalized and personal way.
HISTORY:
The hotel was founded in 1967 by Giuseppe “Peppeddu” Palimodde. At first it functioned simply as a restaurant that sought to bring the traditional food of the island of Sardinia to all possible visitors who wanted to enjoy it.
The restaurant had the presence of his wife, Pasqua, as cook, and it quickly achieved the success it deserved but no one expected. Its local popularity in Oliena crossed borders and people began to come from further away to try these dishes cooked with such delicacy and love.
With this success came the idea of hosting clients and offering them a more complete experience. They started with a simple 8 rooms but by 1975 there were more than 30. The hotel kept constantly growing to the current 70 rooms offered in their catalog.
ROOMS:
The main idea of the Su Gologone hotel is that its building is not a simple place to welcome clients in rooms but seeks to offer an experience beyond a classic accommodation and for that it offers different facilities and activities.
However, logically, in a hotel of these ideas and capacities the rooms cannot simply be called rooms but are divided into sectors according to a journey. Thus we can find: Classic rooms, Deluxe rooms, Deluxe emotion, Junior Suite, Junior Suite Deluxe, Art Suites, Suite Colores, Experience Suite, Experience Wild Suite and finally, Art Studio Villa.
The Classic Rooms are the smallest but maintain that characteristic decoration. They are spacious rooms with a private bathroom and shower, some even have a terrace available and, of course, the wonderful views that the building enjoys. They also include amenities such as air conditioning, television or bath products, as in the rest of the rooms.
The Deluxe rooms, in addition to the bed, have a sofa bed and a large bathroom with a shower. In this case, unlike the previous ones, most of the rooms of this style have a private terrace and, of course, the common facilities, present in all rooms.
What most differentiates the Deluxe Emotion from the previous ones is the presence of a bath tube on the terraces, to be able to enjoy more intimate moments and also have the ability to relax without having to leave the room.
The Junior Suites are decorated in a more traditional way with objects from the island and creations by artisans from the city of Oliena. Besides that, the rooms are “dedicated to great 20th-century Sardinian artists such as Federico Melis, Giuseppe Biasi and Edina Altara”.
The Junior Suite Deluxe has the same decoration as its predecessor based on ancient Sardinia and traditional aesthetics. Among its amenities for visitors are the jacuzzis and the minibar.
Those known as “Art suites” go to a higher level, offering a room with a living room, bathroom and terrace. They can offer either one large room or the opportunity for two separate rooms and also have a whirlpool bath or a hydromassage shower and sauna feature.
The Colores suite offers an open space to enjoy the entire room, although there is also the possibility of dividing the room into sections if sharing. In addition, this style has a unique and different decoration along with views of the Italian landscape, completing the experience for hotel visitors.
The Experience suite is the one that offers a stay closest to the real Sardinia. In her two Country Suites the designer, Giovanna Palimodde, seeks to bring visitors closer to the traditional Sardinia model with materials such as orbace, leather and wool. Although this aesthetic seeks to get closer to nature and tradition, clients will have all the modern comforts at their disposal in addition to having a terrace of aromatic herbs and a fireplace.
In its Deluxe version we find the “Wild suites” recently created by Giovanna with a modern and ground-breaking approach that seeks a sincere and true connection with nature and the environment. In these rooms you can sleep outdoors, allowing you to sleep under the stars and wake up to the singing of birds.
Finally we found the Art Studio Villa, which is without a doubt the most impressive complete experience on the entire island offering you delicious food and dream places to walk under and enjoy.
In this villa, nature is intertwined with the white of its walls and with the art worthy of admiration that we can find in any of its corners, such as paintings by the Melis brothers. This art studio has been transformed into a villa with a private pool and a dream garden around it.
RESTAURANT:
Another large part of the hotel is the restaurant, the origin and fundamental pillar of the entire holiday complex. The evolution that this business has had since the beginning has led to differentiation even in the culinary world. Today in its catalog we can find: Court of the King, a la carte typical restaurant, Cuisine, SOS nidos, the bread’s nest and the herb garden.
The first one seeks an appearance of paused time, being decorated with ancient and natural pieces such as the bricks used for the floor and the stone columns that date from the 17th century. The important thing in this place is above all its exquisite local wine and its almond-based specialties. The dishes represent the tradition of the island and the decoration goes perfectly, creating the perfect atmosphere. To finish closing the moments we can sometimes find live music and shows.
In “a la carte typical restaurant” we can find a menu in which classic Barbagia dishes converge with natural products from the area and, above all, from their private farm and orchard, which create a unique flavor. In addition, in the building we can find a store to buy products as souvenirs as well as utensils or decoration typical of the area.
In the “Cuisine” section we find “cheeses, spit-roasted meats, pane carasau, handmade pasta, olive oil and distinctive wines.” According to their own description. The food we can find at the Gologone hotel is homemade, even the bread is made in the building and they have natural products such as honey or herbs that create particular flavors and smells typical of the region to experience the true Italy in a single bite.
A more different plan to get out of the control zone would be “sos nests”. Here you can relax from within the forest of olive trees, oaks and junipers, typical of the area and with its incredible mountain views. The structures resulting from Giovanna‘s creativity have comfortable cushions to enjoy her centuries-old food in connection with nature.
“The bread’s nest” specializes in creating breads of all types, focusing on those typical of Sardinia. There you can enjoy cooking demonstrations with aromatic herbs, focaccia and local vegetables. The meal is later served on the Terrace of wishes and in the evening you can enjoy the Stargazing night in the nearby Terrace of Dreams.
Finally, “The herbs garden” is located behind Mount Ortobene and offers a place to live a unique experience to connect with the origins, with nature, its flora and fauna and with the planet. Within the Su Gologone hotel plot we find its Vegetable Garden where we find colorful tables and chairs that create an unforgettable space in which to enjoy food like nowhere else.
In addition to the restaurants to enjoy food, we find different locations to enjoy their personal bars where you can have a quiet drink with friends or a partner. Among these places we find “The swimming pool gazebo bar”, “Francesco cuisa’s bar” and the unmistakable “Magic Tablao” where you can relax and enjoy the landscape and the unique environment of Sardinia.
EXPERIENCES:
Without a doubt the most differentiating part of the hotel and the most unique is the presence of experiences in its catalog.
One of the excursions, for example, is a visit to Tiscali, where you can make a brief visit to the place or explore the cave with a guide. You can also add a visit to the Lanaitho forest. Another place of great interest for visitors is the Corrasi mountain, for which there are different offers and plans depending on the price and schedule. If you are more of a beach person than a mountain person, we also find trips like Luna Cove or their “coast to coast” experience in the Orosei Gulf.
On the other hand, we find sports such as horse riding, climbing, E bike tour or kayaking and if your body asks for a more chill plan and to have your moments of rest, you can also find yoga and meditation classes within the hotel.
Without a doubt, all of these plans are focused on a connection with nature and with yourself, being able to explore new places and live unique experiences or simply enjoy a simpler vacation where you can relax with wonderful views.
The Su Gologone hotel is the ideal option to visit the Mediterranean with complete facilities, great choice, variety in terms of meals and with different experiences from those that can be found in other hotels, providing both restaurants and hotel areas such as excursions, sports and plans that you can do as a group, family or as a couple.
