"Gergei, population 1,300, is a quiet town about an hour north of Cagliari. It was put on the map by the Lai family when they opened Domu Antiga, a boutique hotel in the center of town that quickly became a hot spot for visitors looking for rural charm and a break from the beach. In 2022, the family inaugurated their newest venture, a small cheese-making and tasting space called Sinnos. Samuel Lai and his team make sheep’s cheese in a tiny stone storefront beside his home and offer pecorino tastings in the pretty courtyard in the back that is planted with a manicured vegetable garden." - Katie Parla
