Holiday apartment in Lollove: discover churches, museums and mountains

Lollove has preserved the residential forms and layout of a medieval agro-pastoral village almost unchanged. Narrow, winding, cobblestone-paved lanes define the village and draw attention to the connection between its layout, residential forms and historic character. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Lollove will find a place whose appeal lies as much in its preserved structure as in its individual cultural details.

Churches with late Gothic and local details

The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena was built in the 16th century and is considered a typical example of late Gothic Aragonese architecture. It is divided into three naves. The church also contains a clearly legible wall inscription dating from 1608. The construction period, spatial layout and inscription provide culture-minded travellers with three specific points of connection for exploring the building and its history.

A statue of Saint Mary Magdalene in the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena was donated in 1601 by Jannanghelu Pirella and Anghelu Satta. The parish church of San Biagio has a rose window and a portal made of pink trachyte. In Lollove, you will therefore encounter both a specific testament to the history of the donation and distinctive architectural materials and forms.

Literature, museums and everyday culture

Lollove appears in Grazia Deledda’s novel La madre, published in 1920, under the name of the fictional village of Aar. In the immediate vicinity of Lollove are the Native House and Museum of Grazia Deledda, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Giorgio Asproni and TRIBU Spazio per le Arti - Museo Ciusa. The Istituto Superiore Regionale Etnografico museum is also located in the surrounding area of Lollove. The Chessa family house museum displays everyday objects from earlier times, each accompanied by a sonnet.

Mountains and workshops for different interests

The mountain Monte Ortobene, the mountain Punta Sibilla, the mountain Monte Saraloi and the mountain Punta Comoretta are located around Lollove. These landscape features complement the historic details of the village with a clearly recognisable mountain setting and add another focus to travel planning.

Lollovers offers a seasonal bread workshop in which visitors knead, roll out, bake and taste the Paneddas themselves. In addition, Lollovers offers visitors educational workshops in Lollove as experiences. For families who enjoy making something together and then tasting it, this area of interest is a specific complement to the village’s cultural and historical impressions.

When choosing your holiday apartment or holiday home in Lollove, you can therefore consider which focus best suits your travel group: churches and museums, historic village details, the landscape or taking part together in the bread workshop. Especially when children of different ages are travelling with you, you can mentally divide the day’s plans between cultural discovery, an interest in the landscape and active experiences.
