I’m Simonetta Bazzu and Battista, the village where my ancestors were born, is over 200 years old.

Here i will guide you on a journey back in time.

This experience takes place in a typical north Sardinian house, a traditional building in the countryside with granite stone walls and a cane roof.

It’s my great-grandparents house.

Here, I’ll reveal the three main secrets to a long, healthy Sardinian life:

PASTA

In my great-grandmother kitchen - 150 years old - you'll mix semolina and water to create ancient pasta shapes on a table carved from a centuries-old tree.

As we cook, I’ll share stories and traditions that nourish both body and mind.

WINE

You'll visit a small artisan winery, explore winemaking tools, learn about Sardinian vineyards, and taste the wine of eternal youth.

FOOD

We’ll end with a typical Sardinian meal (lunch or dinner), featuring pasta you made, local cheeses, garden vegetables, fresh bread, desserts, and more — all organic, all authentic.

Simoneta welcomed us into her family home as friends. It was interesting to learn about life in Sardinia. The pasta making was great and I shall try to make some at home. This was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend it.

We had a fabulous night at the pasta cooking class. Simonetta was just lovely, so passionate about her craft and so interesting. The experience is set in her grandparents old cottage in a small village and is so authentic and just gorgeous. We crafted 4 different shaped pastas from which Simonetta created our dinner (plus lots of other food and home made wine). Overall a really enjoyable night.
Excellent experience
