Territory

The landscape is a homogeneous part of a territory whose characteristics originate from nature, human history and reciprocal inter-relationships.

Sardinia is an extraordinarily rich region of history, nature and traditions. A varied ecosystem of sandy beaches, mountains and valleys join forces with an age-old culture from the many facets and gestures exhibited in stunning landscapes, small villages and hidden architecture; living signs of a true “continental island”..
