Agriturismo (bed and breakfast) in Sardegna

http://www.aiab.it/agriturismi/azienda.php?lang=EN&id=112

Fabulous location along the southwestern coast of the island of Sardinia, this farmhouse is located about 1 mile from the coast of Porticeddu and Piscinas, beautiful coastal features in the south of the island. Run by Francesco Missoni and his family, this farmouse is smack in the middle of sage brush and gently rolling hills down to the sea. The small farming community there is dedicated to organic farming and is connected to AIAB, the organic growers association of Italy. Regional Sardinian specialties are guaranteed, from cheese to cold cuts, local vegetables and honey, wine, and meats. The surrounding area is wild and a hiker's and beach combers paradise that can be combined with archeological and speleological explorations. See another picture of the farmhouse and coast here: http://www.italianharvest.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=61

Fishermen from the local "tonnara" stand on large barges that are at the end of a maize of nets tuna get caught in and are clubbed to death, a fishing tradition that has been repeated throughout Sicily and Sardegna for centuries.
