Located in the community of Oliena on Italy’s beautiful island of Sardinia, each guestroom of the Hotel Su Gologone is dedicated to a famous 20^th-century Sardinian artist. Handcrafted textiles and original art are displayed throughout the property, and guests can watch as local artisans create pieces — or better yet, learn how to create their own. The hotel’s special Art Studio Suite offers a unique and luxurious guest space for those wishing to surround themselves with local art. Themed stays can include painting classes and workshops in embroidery and needlework, or visits to the art museum in nearby Nuoro.

Culinary getaways center on cooking classes that reveal traditional pasta-making techniques blended with fresh herbs, and the secrets of preparing beloved Sardinian dishes. Prefer an active vacation? There’s plenty to do, including hiking and canoeing with an archeological focus in the karst caves of Sa Oche and Su Bentu, which can be found on the Cedrino River. Visit an area farmhouse to meet the farmer and his family, learn how to make local cheese, and enjoy a fresh, homemade nibble while drinking in the views of the island’s Gennargentu Mountain.
