Built in the mid-19th century in the heart of the village of Araggio, the purpose of La Casette, a "small stone house," was primarily agricultural: it served as a shelter for day laborers during vineyard pruning or cork harvesting, and as a shed.
Passed down from generation to generation, in 2007, La Casette took on a new life: its owners decided to create a gourmet stopover on the trail leading to the megalithic site of Casteddu d'Araggio. To achieve this, the building was enlarged, and in a spirit of integration and respect for the environment, local stone, old beams, and original tiles were reused. Following the same approach, the terrace was enlarged in early 2009. It now overlooks the verdant valley, enjoying total tranquility between the shade of the old fig tree and the first rays of spring.
The tone is set to allow yourself to be tempted by the discovery of authentic local products.
