Sardinia, you know, is a land full of surprises. The Giara di Gesturi ( "Jara" in local language) is one-of-a-kind place in the heart of the island.

This plateau contains an exceptional floral and faunal wealth in its 42 square kilometers, though maintaining a high level. Cork and holm oak trees alternate with fragrant plants such as myrtle and strawberry trees. The Giara is the ideal habitat of our helichrysum, which stretches out of sight. Spring is definitely the time of year when colours and scents intoxicate visitors, who walk among blooming colourful wild orchids and rock roses.

On the plateau more than 350 different plant species have been identified, some of them are pretty rare like Morisia Monantha, a small perennial plant that blooms from January to April. Last but not least the large population of wild horses with the typical long mane, an endemic race of the Jara, which gives a special emotion to the lovers of spontaneous nature.

Enjoy the Mediterranean Rebirth!
