Agriturismo Genna 'e Corte, Laconi - Sardinia
One of our showpieces in central Sardinia is agriturismo Genna 'e Corte, surrounded by rugged nature in an area filled with archaeological sites. We guarantee a unique stay at this welcoming farm with amazing kitchen and pool!
About the accommodation
Agriturismo Genna ‘e Corte is a farm with pool, situated in the rugged and unspoiled landscape of central Sardinia on a quiet location 9 kilometres from Laconi in the province of Oristano. In prehistoric times, around 1600 b.C., the locals chose this area to build their homes (“nuraghe”). The impressive nuraghe Genna ‘e Corte, surrounded by the ruins of what used to be a village, is located on top of a hill overlooking the eponymous farm.
At the farm you can get to know the typical and authentic Sardinian dishes made from local biological products. Since you’ll be staying at a real agriturismo, Genna ‘e Corte’s meat (both pork and beef) is coming from their own farm.

Laconi
Laconi lies on the Sarcidano plateau in central Sardinia. The village offers a spectacular view across its surroundings.
Near Laconi in Barumini, at the foot of the high land Giara di Gesturi, you can visit the nuragic village Su Nuraxi, listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The excavations were carried out by the famous archaeologist, Giovanni Lilliu from 1951 onwards. The village consists of a pentagonal complex built in basalt, surrounded by towers and houses of approximately 3500 years old. The central tower, dating back to the Bronze Age, dominates the area. It’s possible to visit the fascinating Su Nuraxi under supervision of a (English speaking) guide.
We also recommend visiting the Giara di Gesturi, a high and steep-sided basaltic plateau. This nature reserve is home to 500 wild, small horses.
The ruins of the Castello Amerigo, a fort dating back to 1053, are worth a visit as well. Later on several parts have been added, such as a 15th-century hall and a 17th-century portico. The botanic garden with waterfall situated around the castle is the perfect place for a stroll followed by a picnic.
There are many more sights in the area. We recommend booking a local guide to make sure you see everything there is to see.

Discover the province of Oristano in west Sardinia
The province of Oristano and its eponymous capital are located in the western part of Sardinia. The fairly levelled area is relatively unknown to tourists. Nevertheless, the authentic town of Bosa and the other historic villages and archaeological sites with ancient roots in this region are definitely worth a visit. Oristano has extensive vineyards where the Vernaccia grape is grown. Don’t forget to try a glass!
The coastal area of the Sinis peninsula is a protected marine reserve. The lake of Santa Giusta is inhabited by pink flamingos and other migratory birds. The fishing village of Cabras is renowned for the production of “bottarga” (roe), which is used in many Sardinian dishes. At the equestrian tournament “Sa Sartiglia”, held in Oristano for the past 500 years on Carnival Sunday and Mardi Gras, masked horsemen galloping on steeds at breath-taking speed aim their swords at a tin star.
