Jerzu, the village of Ogliastra

The essence of true Sardinia

Jerzu: the village of the 'Tacchi', where breathtaking views and ancient traditions converge. Perched at 450 meters altitude in the Rio Pardu valley, this charming village is nestled among limestone plateaus with singular shapes, offering a dramatic backdrop to its winding roads and stunning vistas. A haven for motorcyclists, Jerzu's steep and picturesque streets lead to unforgettable views. The surrounding landscape is a nature lover's paradise, with sheer walls perfect for free climbing and trails for trekking and mountain biking through primeval forests. The rolling hills and vast vineyards stretching across the valleys complete the enchanting scenery, making Jerzu a true gem of Sardinia.

Jerzu: the Land of Cannonau, where wine and history blend in perfect harmony. The local winery is a must-visit destination, showcasing the region's renowned wine production. But Jerzu's rich cultural heritage extends far beyond its vineyards. The area is dotted with archaeological sites of great significance, including the Neolithic Domus de Janas of Perda Puntuta and Sa Ibba s'Ilixi. The Nuragic period is represented by around thirty settlements, including the impressive Nuraghe s'Omu 'e s'Orcu. And for a breathtaking view, head to the summit of Monte Corongiu, where you'll find the remains of a Punic necropolis and panoramic views that will leave you speechless.
