The Lemon House is our Guesthouse in Ogliastra from which we provide specialist support for Sardinia climbing, Sardinia cycling, and walking .  20 minutes’ walk to the sea and the nearest bouldering, and 10 minutes by car to the nearest climbing, we named it after the lemon tree in the garden with produces fruit all year round in our mild climate. If you just fancy chilling out in peace and quiet and going to the beach, you’re equally welcome!

Climbers: we have a 100 sq-ft bouldering panel inside for rainy days; you can also use our fingerboard and campus board and crashpad for bouldering. Cyclists: we can  pick up you and your bike boxes from airports if you don’t want to hire a car, and pick you up after rides. We can organise bike hire (road/mountain bike) if you don’t want to bring your own bike. We wash your kit and encourage you to keep your bike in your bedroom—being cyclists ourselves, we know how important these things are. See Getting to Sardinia.

· Cater specifically for climbers and people into outdoor sports

· Are in some of the most beautiful areas of the island

Sos Piches, Oliena —situated just above the town on the slopes of Monte Corrasi, and run by Giuseppe Garippa who over the years has bolted many climbing routes. Offers help with transport and information for walking and climbing

Castello di Giosa Guardia —in Villamassargia, near to Domusnovas. Sponsored the bolting of the crag “Il Castello di Betty” at nearby  Domusnovas, run by very friendly Betty!
