From the sea to the mountains: this is the gateway to Ogliastra. Tortolì is a treasure of beauties, flavors,
and unique places: a breathtaking territory that alternates beautiful beaches with lagoons, woods, and
hills covered with Mediterranean scrub. Many dream beaches a stone’s throw from downtown: Cala
Moresca, with granite rocks and golden sand, Lido di Orrì, San Gemiliano, with sand, junipers, and
enchanting coves, and Porto Frailis, one of the pearls of the coast, with fine sand and crystal clear sea.

Porto Frailis, the Acquachiara’s view of the beach

Porto Frailis is the perfect setting for Acquachiara, one of the most spectacular places in Tortolì, where
the pool has this wonderful bay as its horizon. Surrounded by the beauties of the Mediterranean scrub,
the Acquachiara lounge and cocktail bar welcomes customers in a magnificent liquid setting.

In a private setting, in an elegant atmosphere in line with the territory, in addition to traditional coffees
and savory snacks, you can sip elaborate long drinks and savor delicious finger food based on local
products. You can find a wide-ranging selection of national and international wines and spirits.

Selection of Smoked fish: Tuna, Salmon with salted Fruhe and Marlin

International savory breakfasts based on pancakes and omelets, salads, platters, and raw seafood, and
we recommend the selection of oysters and lemon-scented prawns. At Acquachiara the day passes with
the proposal of the fresh catch of the day, in the shade of the well-kept garden against the backdrop of
the infinity pool overlooking the sea.

As a fast lunch proposal, the chef recommends his delicious bruschetta with many different fillings, such
as salmon, guacamole, and chives.

The evening continues with refined aperitifs and fried dishes. Acquachiara is also a real panoramic place
where you can sip delicious cocktails: among the labels available are Gin Mare, an Italian liqueur based
on Mediterranean juniper berries, the Scottish Hendrick’s, and Monkey 47, one of the best gins in the
world. High-quality botanicals that can be combined with tonics from all over the globe.

Every Saturday you can find “Saturday Night” an evening all about music under the stars of the Ogliastra
sky.

Sant’Antonio Abate, celebrato il 17 gennaio, è il santo patrono degli animali domestici e simbolo delle tradizioni contadine. I fuochi accesi in tutta l’Ogliastra servono a simboleggiare la purificazione e la protezione dei raccolti e del bestiame.

Villagrande Strisaili lo celebra anche quest’anno. Poco fa, nella piazza della chiesa, è stato acceso il fuoco al termine della processione e della Santa Messa celebrata da Don Giuliano Pilia: un rito che coinvolge ogni gennaio tutta la comunità.

La festa, organizzata dalla Parrocchia San Gabriele Arcangelo e dalla leva 1982, ha visto un Triduo di messe nei giorni 14, 15 e 16 gennaio. I villagrandesi, con grande impegno, hanno preparato la legna, allestito la piazza e curato ogni dettaglio, dimostrando la dedizione con cui custodiscono questa tradizione.

Durante la celebrazione in piazza, la messa è stata seguita dalla benedizione degli animali e del fuoco. A breve la distribuzione de “sa paniscedda”, dolce tipico offerto dai fedeli come gesto di gratitudine.

La festa proseguirà con musica e balli sardi.
