| We are in
Irgoli, a little
village which however is a good solution for the tourist who wants both
peace and the nearness to the most important resorts in the North of Sardinia
bacause Irgoli is in a central position
between important resorts like Orosei, Dorgali and Cala Gonone (Cala Luna, Cala
Mariolu), Siniscola (La Caletta, Santa Lucia) Budoni
(Cala Brandinchi), San Teodoro (La Cinta), Oliena. Irgoli is 8Km away from
the sea. Instead if you want to visit Sardinia without the crowd... here we are
during the winter too!! |

The most important economical activities are
still today agriculture and sheep-farming but Irgoli is knowing a
growing tourist development thanks to the exploitation of the local resources
and products like "Pane carasau" (the Sardinia bread) cold Cuts, Wines
and Cheese. |

documents speak about: Ligori, Dori Locum, Hircus, Hirculus, Irculi, Ircule,
Irguoli and finally Irgoli.There are also many archeological discoveries like
noumerous "Nuraghes"( a paricular kind of blockhouse existing only in
Sardinia) like the "Nuraghe Tutturu","Luminie's Nuraghe",
"Alinoe's Nuraghe","Santu Andria's Nuraghe","Norgòe"
and "Janna 'e prunas".We can't also forget "Sa conca e mortu"
(="Skull") which is the most picturesque between the "Domus de
Jana" we can find in the Irgoli'sterritory.A "Domus de jana" is a cave dug by the man during the Stone Age and used like
