After more than twenty years, I returned to Sardinia. A desired return, full of emotions and memories of my adolescence.

In Sitesi: in one of the most beautiful and unforgettable places in the Mediterranean.

Here where Every detail seems designed to harmonize with the majesty of the territoriesOr, from 194 bright rooms to the reception staff who welcome you with a flower dress of the same color as the crystal clear water of the sea that surrounds us, which fades between the blue and the turquoise.

The young waiters and all the staff, dressed in clear shades, merge with the refined aesthetic of the structure and move with discretion and naturalness. I look at them because my two children could be: young, polite and with the desire to do well, present but never intrusive, capable of offering you all attention with grace and authentic concern.

Between bright environments and tables overlooking the swimming pool, he comes to life at the restaurant A journey into the flavors of the South: Perfumed couscous, caught day, salads and fresh handmade pasta. In this scenario a dish has been able to bring me back in time: a taste of Sea curly pasta He made me relive a memory of the summers in Sardinia, when I went fishing with my father. Few specimens, collected with respect. Back home, my mother looked at us with a perplexed look: she didn’t know how to cook them. They were other times, without the Internet or digital recipe books, but only instinct, and the tradition taught by local experts. Today, that flavor has rekindled my emotions: a hug of memory and happiness that I found among the courses of the menu of Mediterra Restaurant.
