Su Barchile in Orosei Sardinia

Just a note to tell you that the Hotel/Restaurant Su Barchile in Orosei Sardinia should be at the top of your list of places to dine/stay on the island.

Su Barchile is a delightful family-run hotel in the heart of Orosei, where the Chessa family has been welcoming guests for generations. It offers the kind of warm, personal hospitality that Sardinia is famous for, together with excellent traditional cuisine and a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. The restaurant is one of the hotel's highlights, serving authentic local dishes prepared with fresh regional ingredients.

Guests can also take part in hands-on cooking workshops, learning to make everything from fresh pasta and Sardinian desserts to pizza and tiramisù in the hotel's modern teaching kitchen. During our stay at Su Barchile, my husband and I were treated to a cooking lesson in the kitchen with Maria. She taught us how to make maccherones di busa, a type of pasta that is similar to gnocchi, malloredus, fresh tomato sauce, and a wonderful ravioli with ricotta and spinach. We enjoyed a delicious meal together, which included the dishes that we learned how to make.

The hotel's location is also noteworthy. It is situated near many beautiful beaches, such as Bidderosa and Cala Luna, both of which are known for their crystal-clear waters and pristine sand. The hotel's proximity to these beaches makes it an ideal place to stay for those, like me, who enjoy long lazy days sunbathing and swimming. Moreover, the hotel is also located close to the mountains, which are perfect for hiking and exploring when you have had enough sun, sea, and sand.

Overall, Su Barchile is a find and a half and one of the highlights of my vacation. It offers a unique experience if you want authentic Sardinian cuisine, warm and traditional Sardinian hospitality, and a peaceful retreat. The hotel's friendly and attentive staff, along with its comfortable rooms and excellent location, make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore the stunning beauty of Sardinia.

Nearby is another superb nearby hotel called the Su Gologone, with a comparable sense of artistry and design, but I prefer little Su Barichele, where, when you walk into this tiny hotel, you see the family sitting on the couch in the lobby together in the afternoon, kicking back before preparing the evening meal; you feel like you're family too.
