Just 10 minutes from the coast and 8 minutes from Italy’s top-rated beach, our location provides stunning views and easy access, just a half-hour drive from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport. Experience sustainable luxury where tradition meets comfort at Essenza.

Romance

  • A secret refuge, on the island of Sardinia, capable of stimulating and recalling all the reasons why you love each other.

  • A love nest made of sensory huts and essential oils, uncontaminated nature and wellness treatments.

  • You are truly special and important here.

  • In fact we never have more than 4 couples in the facility at the same time, because we only have 4 rooms.

  • The particular architecture of the sensorial pinnettos, with a circular shape with a cone roof made of resistant branches and tree trunks, facilitates the channeling of the energy of the earth which is all poured into the center of the room, right in correspondence with your love bed.

  • In-room aromatherapy can take your relationship to the next level: essential oils stimulate the most unconscious and ancient parts of you, bringing out the true vital impulses and feelings under the skin...

Your Stay

Here is a taste of what you will experience during your stay:

  • Your peace retreat in the heart of the Tepilora Natural Park (Unesco Reserve), in one acre hill overlooking the valley and the sea
  • An experience in your circular hut suite made of stone and wood: a historical reinterpretation of the quadrilobate nuraghe
  • The most comfortable bed you've ever tried, with 4 pillows and a high-density mattress specially designed for your back
  • A chromo-aromatherapy path with high quality Sardinian essential oils spread on the trunk of the bed head and in the essence burner (extracted according to the tradition of one of the oldest families of herbalists on the island)
  • A very high quality service: from the reception to the advice for the surroundings, everything is treated in detail with love
  • Excellent position: the nuraghe at 1 minute, the river park at 5, 10 minutes for the best beach in Italy (Posada, according to Legambiente and Touring Club), the Costa Smeralda and airport in half an hour
  • Your contribution to save the planet: great harmony with nature and a high respect for the environment thanks to our sustainable practices
  • Thick fabrics, rough cottons, the magic of candles: you will feel to be in a warm home (everything is a real piece of antiques or handmade by the best artisans of the island)
  • Free wifi internet in the whole property… and it really works (no password and no disconnections)!
  • The only thing we do not have is TV: we chose not to have it because we have a beautiful screen, it is called sky: 3d, interactive, does not waste energy and makes your wishes come true...

L'Essenza is the magical place that can awake your senses. The experience you live here can lead something very similar to the distillation of plants in essential oil: it can get out your true essence, the most intimate part of you, a few drops of your true nature.

If you are ready for this extraction, if you are willing to get the best of you, then you will do a wonderful sensory journey, while respecting the environment.
