The initial focus on the soil laid the groundwork for a <strong>certified organic farm<\/strong>, which now operates active beehives, breeds poultry, and rears native Sardinian pigs semi-wild across the hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the terrain was structured to yield fields of ancient wheat varieties\u2014specifically <strong>Senatore Cappelli and Trigu Cossu<\/strong>\u2014harvested according to natural cycles and transformed on-site into house sourdough, rustic focaccia, and traditional pastas. With the vineyard preparing for its harvest and the founders&#8217; sons stepping in to direct viticulture and livestock operations, Cascioni functions as a fully circular, <strong>self-sustaining ecosystem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Architectural and Culinary Transitions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dining space at <strong>Ul\u00eca<\/strong> acts as a natural extension of the fields. Expansive glass walls frame the surrounding landscape, seamlessly blending the outdoor scenery with a tactile, earth-toned interior of wooden tables, raw ceramics, and colored glassware. A short distance away, between the <strong>botanical garden <\/strong>and the <strong>woodland spa<\/strong>, a new 65-square-meter <strong>greenhouse<\/strong> opens as a dedicated, light-filled space, hosting countryside breakfasts before shifting roles during the day to accommodate interactive <strong>cooking classes, intimate corporate meetings, or guided tastings of the estate&#8217;s own olive oil, honey, and wine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The All-Day Culinary Rhythm<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The broader culinary narrative follows an <strong>all-day concept<\/strong> anchored directly to the estate&#8217;s production cycles. Morning begins with a rustic farmer\u2019s breakfast, where wood-fired bread and freshly baked pastries pair with homemade preserves, raw estate fruit, and artisanal yogurts, alongside local savory specialties. As the day turns, midday brings an informal approach to the table, showcasing rugged shepherd\u2019s snacks, a localized <strong>Sardinian Club Sandwich<\/strong>, and traditional chiusoni tossed with a dense rag\u00f9 sourced straight from the kitchen garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Essenza-Marina.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Esterno.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_2\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 3<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione.jpg\" title=\"Ul\u00eca Ristorante Naturale-Colazione\"  data-caption=\"Ul\u00eca Ristorante Naturale-Colazione\"  data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Ulia-Ristorante-Naturale-Colazione-696x1043.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" alt=\"Ul&igrave;a Ristorante Naturale-Colazione\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1500px;

Ul\u00eca embodies the culinary expression of an entire ecosystem\u2014a dimension where the kitchen acts not as the starting point of the narrative, but as its natural landing place. Every dish honors the soil, the kitchen garden, the orchard, the livestock, and the wild herbs gathered through the daily labor required to safeguard a productive, living landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the land stems the identity of a &#8220;<strong>Natural Restaurant<\/strong>&#8220;\u2014a definition moving far beyond mere sustainability trends or local-sourcing catchphrases. The concept recognizes nature as the main director behind the culinary vision, treating seasonality as a hard, real condition determining what the land yields, its flavors, and its creative direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Identity and Precision on the Plate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A Cabras native who previously earned a <strong>Michelin star at Somu in Baja Sardinia<\/strong>, Camedda enforces an authentic relationship with the environment, bridging the <strong>culinary identities of his native Oristano plains with the rugged Gallura hills<\/strong>. Peasant and coastal traditions merge seamlessly on the plate through a virtuous system built on house-milled semolina, fish caught exclusively in Sardinian waters, and meats sourced from internal pastures or long-term regional partnerships. Raw estate ingredients cover 70% of the kitchen\u2019s vegetable needs, while wild aromatics are foraged daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supported by restaurant <strong>manager and sommelier Giacomo Serreli<\/strong>, who curates a wine list focusing heavily on small, independent Sardinian vignerons, the kitchen delivers dishes centered on technical restraint and flavor clarity.

The wellness area features a naturally lit sauna, a Turkish bath, emotional showers, a heated pool, and a dedicated<strong> herbal tea lounge<\/strong>\u2014a fragrant corner designed for unwinding between rituals. Open to external guests as well, the spa features the signature <strong>Cascioni cosmetic line<\/strong>, presenting olive-oil-based toners, cleansing milks, face and body creams, and eye contours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Woodland Spa<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep within the estate, the <strong>Woodland Spa<\/strong> stands as an intimate retreat designed to celebrate the art of slow travel. The experience begins with a walk through the <strong>botanical garden<\/strong>, where guests <strong>personally select and forage the aromatic herbs to be used in their custom beauty and wellness rituals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Botanical Lounge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The estate&#8217;s agricultural matrix naturally flows into the <strong>lounge bar<\/strong>, where the harvest shapes a liquid extension of the kitchen. Here, <strong>mixology turns botanical<\/strong>: the signature <em><strong>Ul\u00eca Dirty<\/strong><\/em> infuses gin with the resort\u2019s own olive oil, while <em><strong>Su Piricciou<\/strong><\/em> offers a zero-proof profile driven by wild herbs foraged across the property. By anchoring every experience to the slowness of the soil, Cascioni and Ul\u00eca strip away modern distractions, revealing the raw, unhurried essence of contemporary Sardinian gastronomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos: Courtesy of Cascioni Eco Retreat, AROMI Press Office<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cascioni.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cascioni Eco Retreat<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cascioni.com\/en\/ulia-restaurant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ristorante Ul\u00eca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cascioni.com\/ristorante-ulia\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.cascioni.com\/ristorante-ulia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ristorante Ul\u00eca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Gallura Countryside, a Charming Agricultural Resort Strikes a Perfect Balance Between Raw Farming and Sophisticated Hospitality, Forging a Dimension of Absolute Slowness and a Deep, Unhurried Connection to the Land.
