In Ulassai (23 km from the hotel), hidden between the famous calcareous “Tacchi”, the most important European cave extends itself for 800 meters and at a variable height of 30 up to 50 meters. The network of caves boasts a marvellous array of stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and enormous chambers.

The grotto opens on a steep detritica slope easily scourable tank to a steps of 200 steps.
“Su Marmuri” is equipped with modern walkways to make visiting the cave a highly enjoyable experience. The internal temperature remains permanently at about 10°C. You may visit the cave on your own, but the informative guided tour is included in the price of the ticket. They are open from April until October.

The grottoes “Su Marmuri” can be visited in autonomy or in the context of a wider organized tour taking advantage of a service drives understood in the ticket.

Another worthwhile visit is the textile mill and working museum dedicated to the artist Maria Lai which necessitates a particular mention. Here at the “Cooperativa Tessile Su Marmuri” visitors can marvel at the handcraft skills of the textile workers, who, using ancient looms carry on the traditional work of the area's weaving industry. Of particular interest is the cooperation between the artist Maria Lai and the textile factory, which has resulted in the production of some highly original pieces.
