Hotel Su Lithu Bitti

The gorgeous villa Su Lithu is plunged in the green Mediterranean scrub, just above the small town of Bitti in the heart of Sardinia.

It was built on the initiative and thanks to the creativity of its owners, the Giovanetti family. It appears as a successful attempt to “ explain” the shared ideal of family life, through a reversion to tradition and contact with nature. Reception, stay and entertainment in the hotel turn into opportunities to try out a deeply spiritual style of life, while immersed in an absolute relaxation.

Going around the rooms of the hotel, while admiring its archetectural forms, represents a continuous discovery of a deliberate and refined accuracy which stems from an inexhaustible passion for ancient traditions.

Every corner – with countless details – tells us of the thoughts, the ambitions and the hopes of the past when warmth and safety were at reach, conferred by the family environment. This ideal of domestic life, supported with strength and enthusiasm by the owners and continuously revived during the day, enhances the value of Su Lithu villa and makes it more precious, allowing the reception of the guests in a really unique and unforgettable atmosphere.

The hotel has 15 rooms, all of them renovated and restored in accordance with the Sardinian style. Inside them every detail - ancient beds, curtains, carpets – is finely and carefully chosen and, being pregnant of local culture, reminds of a past atmosphere.

Apart from bathroom, telephone, TV, mini-bar, several extra comforts make the rooms more precious, like the pleasant and original breakfast served in the room.

At Su Lithu restaurant, thanks to the passion and vocation of the owners, it is possibile to devote yourself to “gastronomic archaeology operations” and celebrate the best cuisine of a side of Sardinia. Courses and recipes, with names often unintelligible, are illustrated by Dario Giovanetti and his wife Susana.

Among them sa cordedda, braided lamb entrails boiled and then flavoured in an earthenware saucepan, together with tomato and herbs; or sas casattinas, sour cheese tarts with parsley baked in the oven; or su pistizzone cun anzone, soup with lamb and a number of herbs, which is best appreciated the day after preparation, when it cools down and takes on the consistency of a mountain couscous.
