Picnic on a Rescue Farm with Animals near Olbia, Sardinia
A peaceful open-air encounter with rescued animals and authentic Sardinian flavors in the heart of Gallura
This farm picnic experience near Olbia brings together the warmth of rescued animals, the freshness of northeastern Sardinian countryside, and the honest simplicity of traditional local food. Set just a short distance from the sea in Gallura, the farm is a genuine sanctuary where every animal has been given a second chance at a dignified life.
The farm shelters animals rescued from mistreatment, abandonment, and exploitation. Visitors are invited to observe and gently interact with hens, geese, ducks, turkeys, doves, donkeys, dwarf goats, lambs, rabbits, and Peruvian guinea pigs — all living freely according to their natural rhythms.
The experience is designed to be accessible and meaningful for all ages. Children connect with nature through direct, sensory encounters, while adults find a rare opportunity to slow down in an atmosphere of genuine calm and purpose.
Access to the pens is not permitted, keeping both visitors and animals safe. A low net creates a respectful boundary while still allowing close observation and supervised feeding with seasonal food prepared by the hosts.

An ideal experience for families with young children, offering gentle nature education in a safe, welcoming space.
Animal welfare is central to the farm ethos — all interactions follow strict safety guidelines for visitors and animals alike.
