Sehr schönes B&B mit viel Charme

Das B&B ist wunderschön und besonders. Das alte Haus wurde liebevoll restauriert und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und dekoriert. Die sehr leise Klimaanlage ist uns positiv aufgefallen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war in Ordnung. Das Frühstück bestand zum Teil aus einigen selbstgemachten Produkten. Ignazio war sehr nett und hat uns gut über die Umgebung informiert. Innerhalb von wenigen Minuten gelangt man mit dem Auto zu der Hochebene Giara di Gesturi. Dort kann man gegen eine Spende Fahrräder ausleihen und sich auf die Suche nach Wildpferden begeben.

The inn is beautifully restored and in such a sweet village overlooking a picturesque valley. Our room was just as pretty as advertised and we loved hearing only the church bells.

Auf Nachfrage hat uns der sehr nette Gasteber Ignazio erzählt, wie er jahrelang selbst das Haus und die Zimmer renoviert hat.

Unique and beautiful, a taste of the countryside.

If you ever get the chance to travel to Gesturi or the surrounding areas, you MUST stay at Cortis Antigas. We had a reservation at S’Apposentu (one of the few Michelin starred restaurants in Santorini) which was why we stayed there. The area is remote, there are small towns that dot the countryside, and not a lot of english speakers. You will find some wineries as well as old ruins, which make great day trips. Cortis Antigas was renovated on the inside but the original structure and stones all remain

Musste Ignazio einen Kugelschreiber schenken, weil er keinen auftreiben konnte. Ignazio nimmt sich richtig Zeit für seine Gäste. Dabei ensteht ein authentisches Gespräch und man lernt viel über das Dorfleben in Sardinien. Sehr schöne und geschmackvolle Restaurierung! Kann diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen.

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 House

An old nineteenth-century mansion, at the foot of the Giara of Gesturi

The physical structures mesh with the period pieces of furniture: furnishings and original pieces bring the guest back in time, the outer courtyard (cortis) represents an angle of pure tranquility.

The two ample gardens are there for the use of the guests, each contains a stone patio and a lawn which induce relaxation and peace.

The stone masonry work, roofs made from cane and wood. Original 19th century flooring.

The Rooms

Sleep in a magical atmosphere

The rooms are characterized by a rustic style: stone walls contrasted with white walls, furniture d’era and picturesque century floors create an intimate atmosphere. The Golden River rods or the slabs in wood, they tell of geometries with timeless charm. From the windows you can admire glimpses of villas nobles or courtyards of the house that represent corners of pure tranquillity, where guests will enjoy a good glass of wine. On awakening it will be possible to taste the healthy and genuine products of our land offered at breakfast.
Each room has its own private bathroom, A/C and wifi.

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.

From milk to cheese, with the milk from our Sardinian sheep it will be possible to prepare cheese and/or fresh ricotta
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.

From eggs to the preparation of “is pistoccheddus de cappa de Gesturi”. The women of the village once carried these sweets with baskets on their heads to sell them in the neighboring villages on the occasion of the various festivities.

Each activity will be provided according to our availability, it is necessary to make a reservation. Minimum 2 participants.

The Environment

Between history and nature

At the feet of the Giara (basalt plateau) laying among the soft rolling hills of the Marmilla, in the Southern center of the island lies the suggestive town of Gesturi. The territory is surrounded by olive trees, oak forests and fields that once were the jewel of the ancient romans.
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!
