Discover the only Unesco Reserve in Sardinia

The Tepilora Natural Park includes the municipalities of Posada, Torpè, Lodè and Bitti, for a total of about 8000 hectares of forests, paths and springs in the historical subregion of Baronia.

But what is special about this Park, established a few years ago?

In Italy there are over 130 regional parks, covering an area of around 1 million and 300 thousand hectares. But unlike the historic parks and the classic natural areas of our country, which have been recognized for a very long time, it is difficult for a natural area to succeed today in becoming part of this special list.

This small Sardinian paradise, on the other hand, recently discovered and completely uncontaminated, has managed to do even more.

In a historical moment where attention to the environment is high and the requirements to become a park have gradually become more restrictive, this territory has been awarded as the only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Sardinia!

If this seems a little to you, know that in this incredible miniature continent you can find:

The most beautiful sea in Italy according to Legambiente and Touring Club
The Rio Posada, a river recognized by the International Convention of Ramsar
Montalbo, a European biogenetic reserve that reaches 1127 meters above sea level
Lake Torpè
The naturalistic oasis of Usinavà
The millennial nuraghe that inspired our architectural plan
Forests, woods, springs
An incredible variety of flora and fauna, including junipers, holm oaks, strawberry trees, cork trees – and turtles, hares, wild boars, foxes, fallow deer, mouflons, hawks, eagles …

In the Tepilora Park there is L’Essenza Sensory Oasis, the only natural oasis that awakens your senses with essential oils in eco-chic huts.

Each room is circular with a cone-shaped roof, like the ancient huts of central Sardinia, and follows a dedicated sensory journey.

Since the architecture takes the form of an ancient four-lobed nuraghe, and the room is circular and conical, the energy inside the room moves more intensely than in square buildings.

Like millennia ago…

Here you enter an ancient, essential dimension, make a unique sensory experience, enjoy total relaxation and wake up regenerated, with an inner strength that comes from a millenary land.

The spontaneous nature will help you to get rid of what weighs on your heart, while the essential oils in the sensory hut will also work in your sleep on your unconscious memories.

In this small eco-chic guesthouse, there are only four sensory paths linked to the four pinnettos rooms, so there will never be more than four pairs at a time:

White Room with Myrtle essential oil
Green Room with Juniper essential oil
Purple Room with Lavender essential oil
Yellow Room with essential oil of Helichrysum

This, for example, is the Juniper Room, with rebalancing and invigorating essential oil, extracted according to the tradition of the oldest family of herbalists on the island:

If you prefer million stars instead of five, come and find yourself.

80 thousand hectares of uncontaminated nature, breathtaking sunsets, scents that reconnect you with the whole universe.

All this is waiting for you.
