Walking through the door of an unexpected world, where nature has its home, art is everywhere and Sardinian traditions embody life. Su Gologone is not a hotel, it is an experience. A pleasant surprise in every corner, a warm smile with every gaze.
In exquisite Barbagia, a severe and yet surprising stretch in Sardinia, the sea a few dozens of miles away, hides a world full of junipers and embroidery, terracotta and inlaid work, Sardinian artists of the Novecento and a strong culinary tradition. Su Gologone started, in fact, as a restaurant in 1967. The founder, Giuseppe “Peppeddu” Palimodde wanted to offer traditional food in an area full of bandits, close to the Su Gologone natural spring, an idea was met with initial scepticism. And yet, with the help of his wife Pasqua Salis Palimodde, capable of concocting sublime dishes, the first restaurant in Oliena became so popular that people came from far and wide to taste its delicacies. The love for Sardinia epitomised in the food prepared with care and dedication.
Following such a success, there came the idea of offering accommodation to the clients: the initial eight rooms became thirty-three in 1975, up to the current seventyone. Still, calling them “rooms” would be diminishing; they are, in fact, journeys into Sardinian art, culture and hospitality. Giovanna Palimodde, daughter of Peppeddu and Pasqua, is the author of the hotel's décor, the iconic suites with white resin, and all the new outdoor spaces of the hotel.
From the magical Bar Tablao, scene of unforgettable aperitifs, to the Terrace of Dreams and Desires, where you can stargaze, not to mention the wonderful Botteghe d'Arte, and the evocative three experiential restaurants: Il Nido del Pane, l'Orto, and Sos Nidos.
With an explosive, creative, and tireless mind, Giovanna revises the furnishings every year: every visit is a rediscovery.
Su Gologone is now managed by three generations of women: Pasqua, Giovanna, and Camilla. With a deep knowledge of local traditions and a keen eye for innovations, the three women lead Su Gologone with a unique imprint, keeping alive the authenticity and beauty of Sardinian culture.
Su Gologone continues to be renowned for its authentic and exquisite cuisine, warm hospitality, cozy atmosphere, and unspoilt nature, offering visitors an unforgettable experience in the charming setting of Sardinia.
