Stepping through Su Gologone’s doors is like crossing into a world alive with nature, artistry, and the vibrant spirit of Sardinian tradition. Nestled in the enchanting heart of Barbagia, this is no ordinary hotel—it’s a celebration of Sardinia itself. Each corner holds an unexpected surprise, each glance a warm smile, welcoming you to uncover secrets of this mesmerizing region.

Originally conceived in 1967 as a humble restaurant, Su Gologone was the bold vision of Giuseppe “Peppeddu” Palimodde, who dared to share Sardinia’s rich flavors in a land famous for its rugged beauty and fierce loyalty to heritage. Despite skepticism, his wife Pasqua’s culinary prowess soon made Su Gologone the destination for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Sardinian cuisine. Visitors would travel from afar for her dishes, each one a labor of love, embodying the island’s deep-rooted connection to food, family, and tradition.

Over time, Su Gologone evolved from a beloved restaurant into a unique retreat, and today, the 71 “rooms” offer far more than mere lodging. Crafted as journeys into Sardinian art, culture, and hospitality, each suite is a creation of Giovanna Palimodde, the daughter of Su Gologone’s founders. Giovanna’s artistic touch is everywhere, from the iconic white resin suites to the outdoor terraces and experiential spaces that invite visitors to see Sardinia through her eyes.

The highlights of Su Gologone are as diverse as they are delightful. Sip aperitifs at the lively Bar Tablao, stargaze from the Terrace of Dreams and Desires, and explore artisanal treasures at the Botteghe d'Arte. Dine across three enchanting restaurants—Il Nido del Pane, L’Orto, and Sos Nidos—where each meal connects guests with local ingredients and age-old recipes, reimagined with Giovanna’s creative flair. Every year, she refreshes the décor, so every visit feels like discovering Su Gologone anew.

Now led by three generations of Palimodde women—Pasqua, Giovanna, and Camilla—Su Gologone is an enduring tribute to Sardinian life, carrying forward the family’s love for the island. Guided by their passion, this one-of-a-kind destination maintains its roots in local traditions while embracing new ideas, making each stay an immersive experience.

Discover the warmth, artistry, and deep authenticity that is Su Gologone—a place where you’re invited to explore the soul of Sardinia, one delightful moment at a time.
