Su Lithu sits on a hill above Bitti, a typical small rural settlement in the mountainous province of Nuoro. It’s a comfortable hotel which is perfect for people who want to relax away from the main tourist centres, and is a very good base for exploring the island – the coast is just 35km away, with the beautiful beaches and coves of Cala Gonone (which also hosts a major jazz festival in the summer) and Cala Luna, but Bitti is well away from the seaside crowds. From here visitors can also explore Olbia and the Costa Smeralda, the west coast of Alghero and Bosa, and the lovely Golfo di Orosei in the east.
The family who run it have filled the hotel with interesting decor, antiques and crafts from the Nuoro region, and are keen supporters of local craftspeople. There's a sheltered garden with a secluded pool and sun terrace.
If you want to get to know Sardinia better, especially its culture and food, Su Lithu is a lovely place to do that.
"...thank you so much for making our honeymoon special... all of the food and wine we tasted were delicious, but the most special thing was the warm and friendly welcome and helpfulness of all the people at the Su Lithu." J, Cornwall, 2007
"Für alle die nicht unbedingt am Küstentrubel schlafen möchten und viel Wert auf Erholung legen, dem sei das Hotel bestens empfohlen. Hoch oben über Bitti mit tollem Ausblick auch von der Restaurantterasse. Das Meer ist übrigens mit dem Auto in knapp 30 Minuten erreicht. Sehr empfehlenswert." H, Berlin, Summer 2007
