The House
An old nineteenth-century mansion, at the foot of the Giara of Gesturi
Located in the historic area of the village of Gesturi, among cobblestone streets and ancient churches lies the structure that was built for a noble family in the 19th century.
Cortis Antigas is located in the southern center of the island, in Gesturi at the feet of the Giara of Gesturi, home to the last remaining wild horses of Europe, five minutes away from the archeological complex Su Nuraxi of Barumini, patrimony of the UNESCO.
In this 19th century manor home delicately restructured, it is possible to admire the ingenious building techniques of ancient local traditions: stone walls, mud and straw bricks (ladiri), roofs made of wooden beams and reed, original flooring of the period. Remodeling a home such as this one and converting it into a B & B was the idea of a young archaeologist who had the vision of making his guests experience the real spirit of Sardinia, far away from the crowds and the beaches.
Cortis Antigas is a perfect destination for those who are looking for a kind of stay that’s not standard, one that is an experience to remember. The warm and simple comforts will make a unique stay for who wants to experience the customs and way of living of our island. The structure is inserted into the heart of the historic center, among charming streets, beautiful homes, more than a dozen churches in a setting that is suggestive while at the same time relaxing. One can feel as though they are living in a town of the Sardinian interior where time has stopped.

The Breakfast
Taste the healthy and wholesome products of our traditional cuisine
Breakfast is an integral part of our travel back in time, which begins as soon as you open the turquoise door that leads to the historic courtyard lawn. You can wake up to the aroma of a freshly baked cake, pampered by a table full of the delicacies of our farm and our territory.
Your senses will be delighted by our Sardinian recipes like: homemade sweets, cakes, cheese, bread made in a wood oven, cured meats, jam.
It will be possible to enjoy your breakfast in one of the lawns of the courtyards, maybe under the shade of the orange tree or on the lawn, surrounded by the smells and colors of strawflower, lavender, sage and rosemary.

The Paths of Taste
From ingredients to table
From flour to the table. Here we offer an extraordinary adventure following the grain of hard red Cappelli wheat produced in our territory all the way to our palates. Our guests will be able to discover the secrets of fresh pasta: malloreddus, fregola, ravioli, culurgiones etc and then have a chance to try them first hand, made by themselves! It all begins with the discovery of healthy ingredients, genuine and km 0, made for centuries on our island, that still today are at the foundation of the diet of our centenarians. In an increasingly homogenized world our intent is to stimulate creativity, manual dexterity, accentuating the diversity of every dish that makes Sardinia a special place to visit.
Each itinerary lasts about 2 and a half hours, it will conclude with a tasting of the pasta made by the participants and a glass of wine.



according to antique techniques, a tasting will follow the workshop accompanied of course by a glass of wine.



From almonds to sweets, in our territory there is an ancient tradition of sweets made with almond paste. We will prepare Sardinian amaretti, bucconettus, crobixeddas as well as others according to old traditional recipes of Gesturi. Later we can enjoy our creations accompanied by a nice glass of wine.






The Environment
Between history and nature
At just five minutes by car you can find yourself in the natural park Giara de Gesturi known all over the world because of the existence of the last wild horses of Europe. This plateau strikes one for its typical colors of Mediterranean maquis, for its more than thirty varieties of wild orchids, for the life of the shepherds that still guard over their flocks.
In only five minutes by car you can also visit the archaeological site Su Nuraxi of Barumini (UNESCO Heritage Site). The complex represents the crowing jewel (at least those that have been excavated) of Nuraghic architecture, that flourished in Sardinia more than 3500 years ago.
Gesturi represents a great starting point to discover what the area offers and what Sardinia has to offer in general. Archeological sites, museums, natural riches, some of the world’s best food and quality of life and more!
