Journey between murals and bonds - The guided tour of the village of San Sperate among the murals and sound stones of Pinuccio Sciola was truly a positive experience. The attention to detail with which the inhabitants preserve this museum town is commendable. Thank you Arasolè for guiding us through this experience.

Giardino sonoro: worth a visit - Very nice open-air museum with the works of Pinoccio Sciola, with clear explanations about the singing stones. The lady guided in very good English

A true open-air museum - Beautiful tour through the streets of San Sperate, a real open-air museum! Raffaela and Valentina guided us with preparation, passion and sympathy to discover the history and meaning of so many of the beautiful murals and installations that the country museum offers us. At the end of the tour, we were then accompanied to visit the Sound Garden of Pinuccio Sciola, a magical place that gives a sensory experience absolutely to do. Super recommended experience!

Must see if you are going to Sardinia - Highly recommended visit to any art fan. Sciola’s work is wonderful and surprising and it is a real pleasure to walk around the village seeing all the works, so different, that populate it. Valentina is an excellent guide who provides a lot of information and makes the visit as pleasant as possible. I am very happy to have been able to make this excursion.

San Sperate is open air art - On a cold winter Sunday we treated ourselves to a visit to discover San Sperate accompanied by two very good guides. The visit ended with the sound notes of Pinuccio Sciola's garden. Also recommended for families with children

Recommended visit - A beautiful guided tour of the art of our island, thanks to the expertise and passion of Valentina, our guide. The soro garden of Pinuccio Sciola exciting, you can not miss visiting. The only flaw not being able to fully enjoy the murals scattered throughout the country because of the cars parked in front. I think the city administration should try to find a fair compromise with the citizens. Overall I suggest a visit to everyone, locals and tourists, with the hope that this piece of our art will find more visibility because it is still little known and not proposed perhaps by the tour operators themselves.

An experience worth having - Some friends and I spent a truly pleasant morning discovering the works of art that enrich every corner of San Sperate. At the end of the tour, we visited the sound garden and were enchanted by Sciola's genius and the beauty of the sounds that the stones produced, under the expert hands of the guide. Highly recommended!
