Agriturismo Depalmas

A farmhouse two kilometres from the sea

The Agriturismo Depalmas is in Preddu Nieddu, in the countryside, 2 km from the centre of Stintino. It is a business of the Depalmas family, who have worked the land, the livestock and Sardinian cooking for generations. It has an indoor dining room for 80 covers, with a stone fireplace and check tablecloths, and also six bedrooms. It is the counterpoint to the harbour restaurants: here there is no fish.

What you eat

The cooking is land-based only, with its own produce and family recipes. There is no menu to choose from: a set menu is served, the same for the whole table. The menus the house publishes give an idea of what comes out of the kitchen:

• Starters: pecorino, fresh sheep's ricotta, sausage, guanciale, loin, bacon with rosemary and frigassada.
• First courses: ricotta ravioli with tomato sauce, gnocchetti sardi or seasonal homemade pasta.
• Main courses: oven-roasted suckling pig scented with myrtle, lamb or sheep stew with olives.
• Dessert: seadas, the Sardinian pastry of fried cheese with honey, and homemade sweets.

The wine is from the La Giara winery, and the house has bottles with its own label.

What it costs

For its guests, the Sardinian dinner costs €45 per person and €20 for ages 4 to 10. The festive menus for the public, such as the 2026 Easter one, cost €55 with drinks and €25 for under-12s. The website does not publish the dinner price for non-residents: ask when booking.
