The six Su Gologone workshops, housed in the spaces of the old stables, were set up in 2008 with the aim of enhancing local craftsmanship, an authentic expression of Barbagia's culture and tradition. These creative workshops represent not only a meeting place for artisans and artists, but also an important project for women's empowerment, thanks to the contribution of the many craftswomen who work there with passion.
Unique creations come to life in the workshops: brightly coloured fabrics, hand-embroidered cushions, traditional shawls from the Oliano culture, as well as refined ceramics and porcelain, often decorated with motifs inspired by the works of 20th-century Sardinian artists. These artefacts are part of the ‘Su Gologone Style’ collection, designed to narrate, through craftsmanship, the history, traditions and soul of Barbagia to all guests and anyone who chooses to take a piece of this extraordinary culture with them.

Su Gologone Experience Hotel, is located in Oliena in the splendid Barbagia, a rugged and surprising land of Sardinia, with the sea only a few tens of kilometres away. Founded as a restaurant in 1967, Su Gologone passes on its love for the territory from generation to generation thanks to its gastronomic offer and the 68 rooms and suites that represent true experiences of Sardinian art, culture and hospitality.
The hotel is set in a 10-hectare private park, surrounded by oleander woods and Mediterranean maquis. It has two restaurants serving authentic and exquisite Sardinian cuisine, three bars each enriched with unique details, including the Magical Tablao for unforgettable aperitifs among white rocks, coloured cushions and juniper trunks. The hotel's strong culinary tradition reaches its peak between May and September, when experiential dinners are organised, with tastings of local gastronomic specialities, prepared according to ancient cooking techniques, and presented by staff dressed in Oliena's typical costumes.
Embellished with the artistic originality of Giovanna Palimodde, Peppeddu's daughter who founded the restaurant, the rooms are different from each other and alternate indoor and outdoor spaces that are redecorated every year. The Wellness Centre, the Fitness Centre, a large swimming pool, tennis and miniature golf courses and two splendid terraces, the Terrace of Desires and the Terrace of Dreams, where guests can enjoy moments of great relaxation and pleasant evenings under the stars, complete the facilities.
Su Gologone offers a wide range of activities during your stay: cooking classes, art tours and excursions to discover the most authentic natural and cultural wonders of its territory. There are six Art Workshops, real design, ceramics, painting and embroidery workshops, housed in the old stables of the property, where courses are held and ‘Su Gologone Style’ creations can be purchased.
