1 km from the sea, and 10-45 minutes by car from beautiful, unspoilt, uncrowded Ogliastra’s main climbing areas, in the village of Lotzorai south-east of the Supramonte and Gennargentu, The Lemon House is a centre for climbers, cyclists and walkers. We aim to help you get the most out of your stay:


• Twin or triple rooms, ensuite or shared bath, €27-35 pppn B&B. Roof terrace with stunning views. Bouldering panel, fingerboard
• Open 11 months a year. You can climb all year round, with south-facing crags at sea level for the winter to shady crags at 1000m+ altitude for high summer. That’s why we chose to live here!
• 600 single-pitch sports routes, 60 multi-pitch routes, from grade 5 to 8c+, and bouldering, all within 5-60’ drive. DWS 15 mins by boat.
• All local maps and guides (we are translating the 2009 edition of “Pietra di Luna” into English, and get the new March 2008 guide to Ogliastra) as well as magazine articles and access to and translation from Italian climbing forums
• “Our” crag, The Lemon House, where we are bolting new routes
• Peter never misses a chance to come climbing so if you need a partner he can help out; we normally accompany visitors on their first day to help them find the crags and choose their routes
• Superb cycling (MTB/road, we can arrange bike hire), walking (Selvaggio Blu, a 7-day expedition along the coast involving climbing and abseiling and reckoned to be Italy's toughest trek, starts 3km from where we live. Peter translated the English edition, published April 2008) , sea kayaking and diving as well as fascinating Bronze Age and pagan culture to discover!
• We also rent out apartments and can help with transport to and from crags and walks
