Few people know that Sardinia is the only Italian region that hosts one of the world’s five Blue Zones. The territory of Ogliastra, located in the central-eastern part of the island, is populated by a series of charming small villages characterised precisely by the longevity of its inhabitants. The elixir of long life comes from special factors, such as average altitude, a healthy and sustainable diet, low emotional stress, optimism and maintaining an ‘ancient’ lifestyle in which tradition still has a strong influence on daily life.

Sardinia has the longest historical railway in Italy. It is called Trenino Verde (litte Green Train), a journey through the flavours, culture and traditions of the territory. One of the best ways to cross and discover the most intimate and deep aspects of the Ogliastra, among natural scenery of unique beauty.
