However for a flavour and atmosphere of real Sardinia you should visit one (or more) of the many local 'Agriturismo.' These restaurants serve local produce, offering a set menu at a fixed price (including unlimited food and local wine, with coffee) and are very good value, especially if you want a long, leisurely, 'eat 'til you're full' evening. They are very popular with the local Italians, and you often need to book in advance at busy holiday periods. Basic pizza evenings are from around €15/person and there are a couple of much more exotic venues and menus (including cinghiale, local wild boar) at €40/person, all within 15 minutes of the Villa.  Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and the expected climate means all the following are produced in abundance: Wine, fruit, vegetables, honey, nuts, olives, pork, sheep and goats' milk products (especially 'pecorino' cheese). A wonderful range of landscapes including gorgeous sandy beaches; breathtaking cliffs, caves, mountains, lakes and forests provide for an amazing variety of flora and fauna. Sardinia is a renowned staging post for migratory birds.  If you are considering buying a property in this region you are very welcome to visit Villa Baratz in order to appreciate fully the location, specification and many additional features. If you are searching for a beautiful modern villa with plenty of land in the heart of peaceful Sardinian countryside, yet convenient for all amenities, then you must put Villa Baratz on your visiting list!
