Nurra and Sassarese

All around the world, people collect all sorts of things: cars, paintings, coins, wines… collections that are often prestigious and enviable, but usually reserved only for their owners.
But don’t worry—there’s no need for envy. Luckily for all of us, there’s a place where anyone can freely enjoy the beauty of every single piece in its collection. That place is Sardinia.

In the territories of Nurra and Sassarese, you’ll find some of the most exclusive “items” in the island’s remarkable showcase.
Not a collection of cars—unless you count the one you’ll be driving to reach places like Lake Baratz (the only natural lake in Sardinia); Neptune’s Grotto (stretching 2.5 km and opening directly onto the sea); the Argentiera; or the Porto Conte Natural Park on the majestic Capo Caccia headland.
Not a collection of paintings either, but true masterpieces of priceless value—works of art etched into history, and history etched upon them: the Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju (one of the two largest in Sardinia); the Nuragic Altar of Monte d’Accoddi; or the Necropolis of S’Incantu, which truly lives up to its enchanting name.
Nor is it a collection of coins, though the sparkle of its golden beaches is something far more precious: think La Pelosa (perhaps Sardinia’s most famous beach), Rena Majore, or Mugoni Beach within the Capo Caccia Nature Reserve.
And finally, it isn’t even a collection of wines—because these are the very lands where wine itself is born. Places where a generous, flourishing nature, together with a cultural heritage unique in the world, gives life to food and wine excellence that blends seamlessly with the multicultural traditions found in villages like Alghero, Osilo, Sassari, and Porto Torres.

Some collections are exclusive because they belong to a few. Others are exclusive because their immense value belongs to everyone.
