Museo dell'Olio

5.0(17 reviews)

About

Museo dell'Olio, a local business on Sardinia, occupies Corso Umberto, 68, 09073 Cuglieri OR. Reaching it from the island's main resorts and towns means a drive to Cuglieri on the western side, well away from the Costa Smeralda and Porto Cervo crowds, though Cagliari, Alghero, Olbia, Sassari, Nuoro and Oristano all sit within the wider island.

Cuglieri sits in the province of Oristano, on the slopes above Sardinia's western coast, and the museum address places it directly on the town's main corso.

The venue is a museum, and its name and the website at http://www.agricolagiorgiozampa.it/ tie it to olive-oil production, the trade the building documents. Visitors have given it a full 5 out of 5 across 17 reviews, a small but unanimous set. Opening hours run Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00-13:00 and 15:00-19:00, with the long midday break typical of the region.

Sardinia's interior is rocky and hilly, with cliffs, coves and small beaches that are often reached only by boat, so a town-based stop balances a coastal itinerary. Italian is the main language, with Sardinian and local dialects spoken alongside it, and ferries and hydrofoils link the island to mainland and Sicilian ports. Greek, Carthaginian, Roman and Arab traces survive across the islands, from Sicily's temples to Sardinia's nuraghe towers.
