How to explore the Natural Park
This pristine territory is incredibly varied: you can explore it by land, by river or by sea, on foot, on horseback, on kayak or kitesurfing, by helicopter, by boat, with scuba tanks, hiking boots or mountain bike, through binoculars, or masks, into millenary towers or caves - and much more ...
Between hectares of aromatic herbs and hawks in flight, you can live the Sardinian Experience at 360 degrees, with certified guides in small groups, to feel the particular peace that reigns here.
A journey through time just a few minutes from the sea
The structure of Essenza is a reconstruction of the ancient "quatrefoil nuraghe" - a single central room with four circular chambers at the corners - just like the Nuraghe San Pietro that we have downstream.
For your stay you can choose between 4 exclusive luxury huts of inner Sardinia, consisting of a circular stone base and a cover in branches on a frame of resistant tree branches.
The 4 Typical Residences
Each dedicated to a Sardinian herb, these four enchanting hut suites are located in a panoramic corner of the Unesco Reserve of Tepilora Natural Park, with numerous paths and unspoiled landscapes.
Just 10 minutes from the coast, this elegant retreat is set in one hectare of Mediterranean garden.
If you wish, you can enrich your experience with services as:
- Plastic-free Pic-nic Basket: a very elegant barrel-shaped vintage basket with light lunch and deluxe picnic service
- Professional Massage: to choose between ayurvedic, lymphatic drainage, decontracting, antiage. We only choose the best essential oils and every little detail is designed for your mind to empty and your body to find relief
- Relax Meditation: a moment of pure relaxation, it is a journey made of visualizations, breath and small exercises that allow you to totally abandon yourself to your inner light. Silence and deep listening within the arms of Mother Earth
- Yoga Session: this outdoor experience combines essential oils with the main positions of yoga to enhance their effects. We work on the execution of various positions, on body and breath awareness, on learning relaxation and meditation techniques, and energy control techniques
What they say about us:
If you are looking for a truly different accommodation experience - not just the room but the landscape itself - take a look at this secluded place, and immerse yourself in the great open wild. For a sustainable stay, take a look at these luxury eco huts near the northeastern coast of Sardinia. Essenza consists of four circular stone rooms (pinnettos), each characterized by a unique sensory theme. For a relaxing retreat, the Lavender Hut envelops you with violet hues and the scent of fresh lavender ...
Essenza Sardegna has won hands down as one of the best properties I have ever been to, one of the most unique, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants something other than the usual average hotel! The location, the focus on responsible tourism, the cozy and colorful rooms, the hospitality, and of course the kittens. Everything was perfect...
The most beautiful and relaxing place I have ever seen, at the time of leaving I recorded this song to take home a small piece of it. You can hear the sheep bells down in the valley, the wind blowing through the branches, and the cicadas on a nearby tree that have decided to participate in the recording, all of that created a truly magical moment...
I loved Essenza Sardegna for the way it attended to both literal and inner views: the first from an elevation overlooking a beautiful Sardinian valley, the second from an experience meticulously curated to bring you into a calm, contemplative place – with all mod cons. And as someone with a long background in essential oils, I was especially struck. My compliments!
We spent the best stay in this beautiful location in Sardinia! The hut is surrounded by nature, flowers and vegetation all around. Since it is a bit out of the way, there were many stars all around to see at night. It is a unique place! Perfect views and many enchanting details, such as the very comfortable armchairs around the huge garden, which is very nice to explore...
Beautiful place, inland but easily accessible. Ideal position to rest and reflect. The host is very kind. The room very nice, clean. Very quiet place. We had a great time. Super comfortable bed. On a motorcycle it's a blast to get there. Recommended place for those who want to take a break from the noisy beaches. The sea is near...
Heavenly place, light years away from the social life of the Costa Smeralda and Porto Cervo. The peace, the silence interrupted only by the sound of cicadas, characterize it. A magical, almost mystical atmosphere in the evening when you are seated on the outdoor lounge overlooking the valley and the sea under a starry sky, while enjoying a glass of cold myrtle. Delicious breakfast and very kind owners. Number one place in Sardinia!
I love this place, it's like staying at Hagrid's summer cottage!
Where we are
A unique example of traditional and sustainable architecture, Essenza Sardegna is an exciting alternative to the modern luxury hotels for which Northern Sardinia is famous.
Located inland, on a hill overlooking the Rio Posada valley and the Tepilora Natural Park, this tiny ecoresort is half an hour from Olbia Costa Smeralda airport.
It's time to take a break and treat yourself to something special
