Worth a visit - Interesting and informative trip to this cheese making factory. It was the afternoon tour so the factory was quiet and deserted. It gave us a chance to explore and listen in peace. We took the 9118 bus from Cagliari to Dolianova and then walked the 1.5 kilometres to the factory. We caught the train and bus back. It’s a good outing for a day and you get to visit a smaller town and see the countryside.

A highly interesting visit where you see how cheese is made and taste a good examplar too. - We were roaming the area when we came across this dairy farm producing local traditional cheese and ricotta and being both interested in gastronomy we wanted to visit. Little did we know that we had to do a booking to do so. Therefore we bought some produce on that day and visited the dairy the next day after a booking through email. All the staff there were very welcoming and helpful. The visit was really interesting and informative, and we had ample time to look at the production line of various cheeses and ricotta from start to finish. Our visit ended by tasting four types of cheese and some wine...all at Eu10 each. Highly recommend if visiting the area, especially those interested in gastronomy. We also managed to buy delicious, local cheese at good price to take home directly from their shop. Thumbs up for your kind service and staff.

Heavenly like the sea of Cala Goloritze - Beautiful Sardinia, great excursions, Unfortunately, restaurants spend too much, in three months they want to earn like the others in 12 months! Same thing for Sicily visited in May, covered with paper at 3 euros unlikely! To make up for this I take an apartment or two-room apartment and bring everything I need from home, just so a lower middle class can take two weeks off!
