    A lovely property out in the countryside, which did mean you need your own transport. Convenient for an early morning flight from Figari airport. Breakfast was lovely and well presented.

Stévanu hails from San Gavino where is located the Orca, Fiurenza his wife hails from Poggiale the brother village distant from 4km.
San Gavinu is a hamlet clinging to the foot of the Cagne mountain. Small jewelry of old stones and lush vegetation and flowers, it's good to live there. The climate is warmer and a mountain river close with natural pools is welcome when summer came to cool. Starting place for hiking, you get there by road, one escapes by sents. Terraces and in particular that of the Orca are very popular to drink an aperitif after a good game of pétanque with the villagers. Those who come here are still struggling to leave. Some never leave.
