Mola&Prentza - Stone House & Organic Garden

Gergei is an inland village in the Sarcidano, a part of Sardinia most visitors never reach — no coast, no resorts, and within half an hour of Su Nuraxi at Barumini, the UNESCO-listed Bronze Age nuraghe that is the most important archaeological site on the island. The Giara di Gesturi plateau, with its wild horses, is a similar distance. The house is built of local stone, sleeps three in one bedroom, and has an organic garden, a terrace, parking, air conditioning and a washer. At $193 this is not the cheapest way to see inland Sardinia, but it is a genuine alternative to another fortnight on the beach.
