Just 15 minutes from Alghero, you’ll find Agriglamping Butterfly House Sardegna. In the countryside of Olmedo, you can spend the night here almost literally among the butterflies.

A unique 5-hectare park. You can easily spend a whole day at Butterfly House Sardinia; take a dip in the pool after your visit and enjoy the simple, authentic dishes at the restaurant.

Glamping Butterfly House Sardinia: A Sustainable Project

The park and its buildings benefit from biological pest control and systems designed to reduce water consumption. They were created by reusing materials from former flower nurseries; recycled wood from construction projects and stones from recycled agricultural land were used.

Unique Plants and Flowers in the Biosphere

A unique opportunity to discover a slice of the tropics that has been transplanted to the Mediterranean. Impressive specimens of Ficus benjamina (weeping fig) and Strelitzia nicolai (bird-of-paradise flower), and unusual palm species serve as a backdrop for the numerous other “understory” species and multicolored blooms, where you can admire butterflies as they search for nectar.

The biosphere simulates a typical rainforest ecosystem, such as those found in certain regions on various continents. The optimal temperature and humidity conditions enable the development and growth of many tropical plants from different parts of the world; the biosphere provides the ideal habitat for butterflies and tropical insects.

Butterflies and stick insects

At Glamping Butterfly House, the butterflies are joined by stick insects from tropical countries. With their spectacular camouflage abilities and techniques, they challenge you to spot them.

The park is also open to visitors who aren’t staying overnight (for a fee), but staying in the glamping accommodations naturally makes it even more special.
