The two-story building that hosts us has the characteristics of the ancient Campidanese manor houses: it retains the environments and the main elements with exposed stone walls, has a living room with a wooden ceiling, and enjoys ample brightness. To this original structure, we have added all the comforts to offer an excellent quality service.
The systems have been carried out in strict respect of the environment, using alternative energies and bio-building products: these are ideas that I have believed in for years and that I made mine even before thinking about this house as a Bed & Breakfast.
Heating and air conditioning are obviously present, but they work with photovoltaic solar panels and recycling of rainwater for the irrigation of the garden and the synergistic vegetable garden.
Despite being located on the main street of the village, the house is very quiet and allows its welcome guests to spend their days in peace and serenity, immersed in the lush nature of the garden, in a pleasant environment that refreshes the spirit like nothing else. I like people in my house to feel at home.
Thanks to agronomist Maurizio Fadda, my "synergistic" vegetable garden guarantees organic vegetables and fruit without chemicals for summer and autumn. To avoid polluting, I choose food products whose transportation must tend towards "zero km", that's why I prefer to buy Sardinian products: they guarantee quality, genuineness and do not weigh on the environment by traveling thousands of kilometers.
The most ecological means of transport available to customers: bicycles.
The current garden was designed and is still curated by a very talented and passionate local floriculturist, who tried to reproduce what was my childhood garden.
With my collaboration, he replanted some plant species that were present then and that bring back beautiful memories, from the scent of jasmine to roses; and since I love natural fragrances very much, I specifically bought the famous roses from Bulgaria with their renowned scent. Finally, considering that the area is rich in even centuries-old olive trees, I planted these beautiful and symbolic trees in various parts of the house.
The food and drinks served in Valentina's Garden are locally sourced and strictly organic. The meat comes from animals raised using natural products and not feed. Gnocchi and other types of pasta, bread, and sweets are made with Capelli wheat flour grown within the "zero-kilometer" range. The bread served at the table comes from a wood-fired oven in the town of Orroli (Kentos). Wine and oil are no exception, as the frantoia art is an excellence in the entire area.
The house rule is to consume Sardinian products first, but only those that guarantee quality and authenticity.
For gastronomy enthusiasts, cooking workshops are offered for typical Sardinian cuisine, and upon request, other culinary traditions. The course lasts one or two days and includes teaching of characteristic Sardinian dishes, including ricotta or potato ravioli (culurgionis), fregola (fregua), gnocchi (malloreddus), some seasonal fish specialties, snails, asparagus.
The most popular dessert lessons will not be missed: from pardulas (Easter sweets with ricotta or fresh cheese) to amaretti, from almond paste desserts (buconettus or guefus) to other island specialties.

Valentina's House was my grandmother's house that I renovated while trying to respect the rules of green building. The house offers a relaxing atmosphere and a beautiful view of the garden. You can take walks or bike rides and enjoy our organic kitchen, which uses local products or products that are always at zero kilometers, including Sardinian, vegetarian, or customized dishes. We love simplicity and want you to feel at home.
My name is Ignazia, and I welcome you to my guesthouse, "Il Giardino di Valentina." I was born here in Escolca in 1957 and returned in 2005, tired of dealing with finances and administration in the north. I decided to come back to Sardinia to reconnect with nature and a more humane pace of life.
I love reading, music, walking, and theater. I enjoy exchanging ideas and experiences with my guests.
Close to us, there are several archaeological sites such as Barumini, the sanctuary of Serri, the Nuraghe Arrubiu in Orroli, and the Mulinu in Villanovafranca. Just a few kilometers away, you can find the Green train and Lake Flumendosa.
