Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
I’m Simonetta Bazzu and Battista, the village where my ancestors were born, is over 200 years old.
Here i will guide you on a journey back in time.
This experience takes place in a typical north Sardinian house, a traditional building in the countryside with granite stone walls and a cane roof.
It’s my great-grandparents house.
Here, I’ll reveal the three main secrets to a long, healthy Sardinian life:
PASTA
In my great-grandmother kitchen - 150 years old - you'll mix semolina and water to create ancient pasta shapes on a table carved from a centuries-old tree.
As we cook, I’ll share stories and traditions that nourish both body and mind.
WINE
You'll visit a small artisan winery, explore winemaking tools, learn about Sardinian vineyards, and taste the wine of eternal youth.
FOOD
We’ll end with a typical Sardinian meal (lunch or dinner), featuring pasta you made, local cheeses, garden vegetables, fresh bread, desserts, and more — all organic, all authentic.

5.00Simonetta and her team are wonderful. They are warm hosts. We made the pasta while Simonetta shared her history and Sardinia blue zone wisdom. The pasta making was fun and informative, and shared with the group, creating community. Then dinner is served at her magical property. This is an experience we will all treasure and bring back pasta making to our family. I highly recommend this experience.
Having this experience is a gift.

5.00Breathtaking property. Simonetta put so much love into this place and into sharing all the great history behind the many different pastas we made. She clearly loves what she does and we felt that through the amazing lunch and conversation. A must do!! I went solo and felt right at home.
Get transported back in time and enjoy traditional Sardinian hospitality.

5.00Breathtaking setting. Charming old family home that clearly has had a lot of love put into it by Simonetta. It was like walking into a different world. And then we made pasta! Several types, including the origin stories of each. Simonetta clearly loves what she does and that came through in the wonderful lunch and great conversation. A must do if you are anywhere even close to Battista!
A must book event!

5.00This experience was beyond incredible. The setting is in a charming Sardinian farmhouse which is styled so beautifully like a dream. We made semolina pasta dough and then learned how to make four different pastas which were cooked and prepared in different sauces with homegrown organic vegetables and served with local wine. The lunch was absolutely delicious. Each dish was phenomenal. The host was generous and gave a genuine sense of care for her guests. We look forward to making pasta with our families at home.
Unforgettable experience
