99 acres (40 ha) of granite and woodland in the heart of Gallura: a late-19th-century stazzo and a large pool, with wide views over valleys and mountains. Northern Sardinia at its most authentic, far from the coastal crowds.
The Casa Grande and the stazzo, in the heart of Gallura
99 acres (40 ha) among the granite of upper Gallura: the Casa Grande, built entirely of granite, and beside it a genuine late-19th-century stazzo, once home to a family of Gallurese shepherds.
We are in the heart of Gallura, about 2 km (1 mi) as the crow flies from its geographic center. The stazzo is about 5 km (3 mi) from Calangianus; Tempio Pausania is a short drive away and Olbia airport about 40 minutes from the house.
The Casa Grande, built entirely of granite, is the heart of the stay: it holds three suites and is the house closest to the pool. Beside it stands the original stazzo, recently extended: two houses, a pool and a view that sweeps from the mountains to the valley.
Stazzi are the traditional granite farmsteads scattered across the woods and pastures of Gallura. Here, in the late 19th century, a family of Gallurese shepherds built their stazzo and lived off the land and their flocks, amid these 99 acres (40 ha) of granite and woodland. Its stone walls still stand, and today they welcome guests with the same silence and the same view as they did then.
All around, the estate is private and yours to explore: a meadow for strolling, tracks through the trees and paths climbing up the hillside.
