Lotzorai

Lotzorai is a small and charming municipality in central-eastern Sardinia, situated between the crystal-clear waters of Ogliastra and the first foothills of the inland mountains. The territory, flat and fertile, stretches from the mouth of the Rio Pramaera to a low, sandy coastline, characterized by wide beaches and gently sloping seabeds—ideal for families and anyone who enjoys spending time in nature.

Lotzorai’s coastline is among the most accessible in Ogliastra, offering stunning views of the Ogliastra islet and the high limestone cliffs that close the horizon to the south. The beaches, less crowded than those in more well-known locations, maintain a peaceful and authentic atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a simple and genuine seaside experience.

Behind the coast lies an agricultural landscape of vineyards, orchards, and citrus groves, reflecting the village’s rural vocation. The town center, compact and orderly, retains a discreet character, with quiet squares and a strong sense of community. The surrounding area preserves important archaeological traces, including nuraghi and remains of ancient settlements, bearing witness to millennia of human presence.

In this context of strong connection to the land and local traditions, the preservation of animal biodiversity is particularly important. In Lotzorai, Monica Arzu works as a guardian of the Sardinian Donkey, dedicated to protecting this native breed. Thanks to her efforts, a precious genetic and cultural heritage is preserved, helping to maintain the rural and agricultural identity of the territory and pass on an authentic, deeply rooted tradition to future generations.
