Now, for the messy bit…
Landing in Sardinia, the sun already kissing my skin hello… that, my friends, is a good start. Finding Su Leunaxiu? A bit less straightforward. The road… well, let's just say the GPS had a few… moments. Finally! We roll up, and the first impression? Charm. Loads of it. The exterior corridor, the rustic stone… it feels Italian. My first thought: "I'm gonna love this." (Spoiler alert: mostly true.)
Accessibility: A Bit of a Mixed Bag, Honestly
Okay, important stuff first. I’m not completely reliant on accessibility features personally, but I always keep an eye out. The website promised "Facilities for disabled guests" and, frankly, I was curious (and, you know, hoping it wouldn't be another 'Italian-interpretation-of-accessibility').
- Wheelchair Accessible? They have an elevator (score!), and at least some of the rooms are designed to be accessible. However, navigating the common areas felt… trickier. Some pathways had cobblestone, which isn't exactly the smoothest ride. The pool area? Levels, steps… definitely not ideal for everyone.
- Rooms: Inside the rooms, the bathroom was spacious, which is a huge win. Extra points for the grab bars. It was a little tight to navigate around the bed, though.
- Overall: They're trying, and that’s a BIG plus! But there's room for improvement. I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm specific accessibility requirements and maybe asking for a room away from the steeper pathways.
Rooms, Gloriously Imperfect
We got a room with… wait for it… a separate shower and bathtub! Luxury, baby! Blackout curtains? Check. Free Wi-Fi that actually worked (thank heavens!). The bed? Oh, sweet, sweet extra-long bed. Pure bliss. The little touches: the complimentary tea and bottled water, the bathrobes, the slippers… it felt indulgent.
- The "Imperfection" Factor: Our room (and the view!) was stunning. But… let’s just say things weren’t immaculately perfect. A slightly wonky tile in the bathroom. A flickering light. Small, charming imperfections, like the kind you find in an old, loved house. It didn’t bother me, it’s just… well, it wasn’t slick luxury. It was REAL luxury.
The Food: An Italian Romance (Mostly)
Oh, the food. Sigh. This is where Su Leunaxiu truly shines.
- Breakfast (Buffet and In-Room): The buffet was… epic. Think mountains of fresh fruit, pastries that practically melt in your mouth, and a selection of cheeses that could bring a tear to your eye. The Asian breakfast on offer was more of a quirky addition than a staple, but the effort was appreciated. The option for breakfast in bed? Yes, please! Coffee delivered to the room? Absolute genius.
- Restaurants & Dining: The a la carte in restaurant experience was divine! The Western cuisine (especially the pasta!) was prepared with passion. There are also options for alternative meal arrangements, which I, as a vegetarian, was incredibly pleased with!
- The "Inevitable" Hiccups: Once, the waiter forgot my water. Another time, the dessert arrived…a little too late. But honestly? It was all so forgivable. The staff were genuinely friendly, and the food… was worth any minor inconvenience.
Wellness & Relaxation: My Sardinian Happy Place
Alright, this is the good stuff. Prepare to be jealous.
- The Pool with a View: The outdoor pool was gorgeous. Seriously. Picture this: turquoise water, the Sardinian sun blazing down, and a view of rolling hills. Heaven. I spent an obscene amount of time lounging by that pool, and I regret nothing. There was also the pool bar for, you know, essential refreshment.
- The Spa: A Deep Dive into Bliss: The spa? A sanctuary. I indulged in a body scrub and wrap (yes, I did), and afterward, floated out feeling like a new person. The sauna, steam room, and foot bath were all beautifully done. The whole experience? Pure, unadulterated relaxation. Worth every single penny.
Things To Do: A Bit About Stuff
- The Gym/Fitness: I didn't make it to the gym! Oops… (Hey if the pool and spa and food don't give me my workout…)
- Meeting and events: They have plenty of indoor and outdoor venue for special events!
- Other options: They offer activities like a shrine (to relaxation!)
Cleanliness, Safety & The COVID Thing
This is important. I'm a worrier. But I actually really appreciated the effort they put into hygiene.
- COVID-19 Precautions: They were taking it seriously, it was great. Daily disinfection, individually wrapped food, hand sanitizer everywhere… it felt safe. The staff training was on point. Rooms were sanitized between stays.
- Other Considerations: Hand sanitizer was readily available, safety features present, so security was clearly thought about.
All the Other Stuff: Services, Conveniences & Quirks
- Air Conditioning & Other Room Features: The air conditioning worked (bless!), the desk was functional, and I appreciated the included toiletries.
- Services: They had a Concierge, but I didn’t have to use it. Laundry service available, safe deposit boxes… the usual.
- Quirks: The "Proposal Spot" listed… tempting. The "Exterior Corridor" felt charming. The "Mini Bar" was stocked!
The Downsides (Because Life Isn’t Perfect)
- Getting There: As I mentioned, the journey to find it was a bit… adventurous. Make sure your GPS is up-to-date.
- Some Minor Repairs: The aforementioned flickering light and wonky tile.
- Overall Cost: It's not the cheapest place in Sardinia, so if you're on a tight budget, you should be prepared.
The Verdict: Would I Go Back to This "Hidden Gem"?
Absolutely. Despite the minor hiccups (and let's be honest, the slightly chaotic GPS guidance!), Su Leunaxiu Soleminis captured my heart. It's a place where you can truly unwind, soak up the Sardinian sun, and indulge in incredible food. It’s not flawless, but that’s part of its charm. It's real. It’s beautiful. And I’m already dreaming of going back. Ciao!

Su Leunaxiu Soleminis: Operation "Find My Inner Sardinian Granny" (and Maybe a Decent Pair of Boots)
Day 1: Arrival, Abandoned Expectations, and the Case of the Missing Luggage (and My Sanity)
- Morning (ish): Arrive at Cagliari Airport. Did I picture myself gliding through the airport, effortlessly chic in linen? Absolutely. Did that happen? Nope. Turns out, "effortlessly chic" doesn't apply when you're wrestling a suitcase that's determined to escape. Cue the drama! The airport was hotter than a nonna's kitchen after baking a thousand biscotti, and already I'm sweating like a pig (sorry, pigs). My luggage decided this was the perfect time to take a solo vacation to, well, somewhere else. So much for my carefully planned-out wardrobe. Luckily, I've got my travel-safe emergency kit: a t-shirt, a pair of underwear and an old pair of socks.
- Afternoon: Finally navigated the rental car situation (the phrase "Italian bureaucracy" doesn't even begin to cover it). After a lot of yelling, smiling, and frantic hand gestures, I'm behind the wheel of a tiny, ancient Fiat. Honestly, I'm more afraid of this car than I am of driving on the left side of the road. I've never driven a manual car before, so the journey to Su Leunaxiu Soleminis was a series of stalls, near-misses, and profuse apologies to anyone who happened to be nearby.
- Late Afternoon: Found my Agriturismo! "Su Nuratolu," a name I still can't pronounce properly. It's charming, I guess? Think: terracotta tiles, overflowing bougainvillea, and a distinct smell of hay and… something else. It’s rustic, let's say that. I was anticipating rolling green hills and a charming Italian village… instead, I landed in an ancient farmhouse.
- Evening: Wandered into the village. It's incredibly quiet; if you like peace and quiet, this is your place. I had dinner at a local trattoria, "Sa Padina," after finally understanding the menu. (Thank you, Google Translate!). I order the gnocchi with ragu. Honestly? It was the best gnocchi of my life. A heavenly, fluffy bite of amazingness! With tears of joy in my eyes, I realized I'm already in love with this place.
- Night (and Crisis): Sat on the small patio. The sky is a deep shade of indigo, dotted with millions of stars. It's stunning. But the joy is short-lived. Still no luggage! And I have no idea how to function without my skincare routine. It's beginning to get to me, so, I'm gonna have to go back to the room and start crying myself to sleep.
Day 2: Sheep, Sacred Rocks, and the Pursuit of a Decent Cappuccino
- Morning: Awoke feeling slightly less like a disaster zone. Fueled myself with a subpar instant coffee (blame the lack of luggage and my caffeine withdrawal). Armed myself with a map and the determination to find a decent Cappuccino - possibly the most important mission of the trip.
- Mid-Morning: Wandered through the countryside, stumbling upon a herd of… sheep! I think I almost had a heart attack because they were all just staring at me. They are as round and fluffy as a cartoon! I guess this is what a Sardinian "welcome" looks like.
- Afternoon: Guided tour! We were going to the "Domus de Janas," the Fairy Homes. The guide, a wizened old man with eyes that twinkled like distant stars, explained the history of the mysterious tombs carved into the rock. I was supposed to feel reverent, but I just felt a little… hot and bothered. I'm not particularly religious, but I felt an unusual sense of serenity once I was inside.
- Late Afternoon: Attempted to find a good caffè. The quest for the perfect cappuccino is proving to be as challenging as the luggage search. Finally, success! Found a tiny cafe perched on a hill overlooking the village, the barista looked at me, and I got the best Cappuccino of the Sardinian vacation.
- Evening: Dinner at "Il Focolare," another recommendation. I tried the "porceddu" (roast suckling pig). The skin was incredibly crispy, the meat incredibly tender and succulent. A little bit of Heaven on Earth! The conversation flowed (helped along with copious amounts of local wine). I'm starting to feel like I belong. The village, once intimidating, is now a warm embrace.
Day 3: Ruins, Restaurants, and the Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing
- Morning: This morning, I tried to find the ruins. They were supposed to be nearby. The ruins are nearer than they're nearby. The ruins were in ruins. They weren't very impressive, but the air was fresh and the sun warm. I spent an hour sitting on a crumbling stone wall soaking it all in.
- Afternoon: Time to embrace dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing). Found a shady spot under a tree (yes, a tree!) and let the day wash over me. This is precisely the feeling I had been missing in my life!
- Evening: Tonight's dinner at the same restaurant as last night because I couldn't be bothered to find a new one. Besides, the food was amazing, and the staff, who now recognized me as a regular, were like family. I was starting to think that I'd made a new home. Then, out of nowhere, the waiter calls for me to join in on the singing (it would be nice if I knew how to sing!)
- Night: Back in the Agriturismo. Another amazing night. The stars were as bright as the previous ones, and the silence, pure and complete, was the exact cure I needed.
Day 4: Farewell, For Now (And Hopefully My Luggage Will Arrive Before I Lose my Mind!)
- Morning: A final stroll through the village, a final Cappuccino (this one perfect, mind you!), and a final, lingering look at the olive groves.
- Lunch: Enjoying a quick lunch, hoping that my luggage is there.
- Afternoon: Drive to Cagliari.
- Evening: Final thoughts and reflections.
The Emotional Takeaway:
This sardinian adventure was a messy, hilarious, and deeply moving experience. I didn't find the perfect boots, but I certainly found something more valuable: a connection to a place, a culture, and to my own, slightly flawed, incredible self. And honestly? I wouldn't trade any of the chaos and imperfection for a perfectly curated, Instagram-worthy experience. Su Leunaxiu Soleminis, you stole my heart. Now, about that luggage…

FAQs: Seriously? Su Leunaxiu Soleminis? Italy. You Won't Believe THIS! (My Brain After)
Okay, Okay, Su Leunaxiu Soleminis… What IS this place even *about*? (And does it involve pizza?)
Alright, buckle up. Because initially, I thought "Su-WHAT-now?" when I saw the name tossed around. It's a spot in Sardinia, Italy. Think rolling hills, ancient ruins (yes!), and a feeling like you’ve wandered onto a movie set. It’s about escaping the usual tourist hordes. No, there's not the *perfect* pizza on every street corner. I mean, there is *good* pizza. But it's more about the *experience*, the "vibe," the… well, the *mystery*. And the sheep. Oh, the sheep! They're EVERYWHERE. Literally, blocking roads. Happened to me. Twice. It’s… character-building.
So, it’s all sunshine and rainbows then? (Please tell me it is!)
Look, I’m a realistic optimist. It’s mostly sunshine. Beautiful, blinding sunshine. But even paradise has a few… let's call them "quirks." My biggest "quirk"? The drive. Ugh. The roads? Think rally car course meets hair salon (lots of curves!). My GPS was trying to kill me. Literally, it sent me down a dirt track that looked like a goat had designed it. I almost cried. (Okay, I *did* cry. Just a little. The car was fine... my sanity, less so). But then, you reach the *place*, and you’re instantly like, "Oh. *That's* why." The frustration melts away... mostly.
What’s the *one* thing I absolutely CANNOT miss?
Okay, this is gonna sound a little… dramatic. But the *nuraghe* (ancient stone structures) of Su Nuraxi di Barumini? I went there expecting… rocks. Old rocks. I got… a historical, architectural, *emotional* gut punch. I genuinely got goosebumps. Walking through those ancient stones, feeling the history… it’s overwhelming. The sheer scale of it is mind-blowing. Think ancient apartment building complex, but made of HUGE stones. And they built it, what, thousands of years ago?! I took approximately one million photos. I annoyingly pointed at EVERYTHING and said, “WOW!” to anyone who would listen. Don’t miss it. Seriously. Pack a picnic. And a head covering. The sun is fierce.
What if I'm not into history or rocks? (Am I doomed?)
You're not doomed! Look, even if you think history is boring (shame on you! Kidding… mostly!), the landscape is gorgeous. Seriously, the *scenery*! Think rolling hills, vineyards, and views that'll make your Instagram feed explode. And the food! Oh, the food. Forget your diet – you are *in* Italy. Indulge! There's local wine, fresh pasta, and cured meats… My belt? Needed some serious adjusting after a week. Plus, there’s the whole “getting away from it all” thing. Total relaxation. If you can navigate the roads and the sheep, you're golden.
Okay, the food. Give me the *real* deal. What should I *expect*? (And will it actually *taste* good?)
Expect to be delighted! Seriously. You're not getting generic "Italian" fare here. This is Sardinian food. Think heartier. Richer. More… rustic. I'm talking *Culurgiones* (pasta dumplings stuffed with cheese and mint – seriously delicious), roasted lamb (that gets me weak at the knees), and *pane carasau* (thin, crispy flatbread). Oh, and the *pecorino* cheese! Heavenly. It *tastes* like the countryside. Honestly, I was so busy stuffing my face I didn't take enough pictures. Don’t be me. Document the deliciousness! The portions are generous. Come hungry. You will not be disappointed. Just maybe bring some antacids…
Are there any downsides? Any truly awful things I should be wary of?
Hmm. Besides the hair-raising roads (did I mention those?), the language barrier can be tricky. Not a TON of English spoken. Be prepared to use your hands, a phrasebook, and a whole lot of smiling. Also, it's not a place for fast food or constant stimulation. If you need non-stop action, this ain't it. Embrace the slower pace. And... bugs. There are a few. Especially if you're staying in a place with a garden. Pack bug spray. And maybe some comfortable shoes. Lots of walking involved. I did mention the sheep, right?
I’m sold! Where do I EVEN start planning?
Okay, good! First, fly into Cagliari (CAG) – the closest major airport. Rent a car. (And pray you get a *sensible* one). Then, book your accommodation WELL in advance, especially if you're going during peak season. Consider staying in a *agriturismo* (farm stay)—amazing food and a true Sardinian experience. Do your research on restaurants (ask your hosts – they’ll know!). Learn a few basic Italian phrases. And pack your sense of adventure. Seriously, embrace the unexpected. You're going to have an incredible time. Just, you know… be careful on those roads. And maybe bring some extra patience. You'll need it.
