The Mainland - Residence in Sardinia - Borgo degli Ulivi Residence

For the visitor who is fascinated by the winding, sometimes bumpy roads of the mainland which lead off from the SS 125 Orientale Sarda, there are breath-taking views of the stilettoes (isolated limestone towers), of the lonely highland plains of Golgo and Supramonte, of the spurs of Barbagie and Gennargentu which converge on Montarbu.

In this vast, uncontaminated and wild territory, you can find various archeological sites (domus de janas – home of the fairies - and tombe dei giganti – giants’ tombs) as well as the nuraghi, imposing constructions rich in history, fascination and mystery.

But there are also small, rural villages with churches, characterised by their architecture, which populate these areas. An intriguing visit of this region can be made on board the Trenino Verde (Green Train) of the Sardinian Railways which winds its way through the mountains, rich in woodlands and forests and enchanting scenery before descending once again towards the sea at the station of Arbatax.
