Our home, an old stable, immersed in the countryside and in a magical atmosphere only a few minutes away from the Costa Smeralda, has been restored in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings and our taste.
In this way, from an old stable, between San Pantaleo, Porto Cervo and Arzachena, we have created a place where countryside, perfumes, colours, materials and all these things together create a welcoming, serene and informal atmosphere. Ideal for those who are looking for a relaxing holiday in an evocative location.

ADDITIONAL INFO: Independent 'AWAY FROM IT ALL' Breaks
Our guests are welcomed in 12 simple, but romantically rustic, rooms, each different to the other and distinguished by its own coloured donkey. Furniture and decorations are the result of our continuous wandering about and we have really taken care of all details: the plastering, the natural hollows with rounded corners in the walls, bathrooms with hand painted ceramics, the ceilings alternating between wooden beams, terracotta tiles, or simple "cannucciato". When we, Alberto and Laura, decided to come and live in Sardinia we fled a city life become too stressful and here realised a living dream and a project for life, giving the possibility for others to enjoy it too.

Today it is a most sought after and renowned destination. But it is undoubtedly the sea the landscape most loved and visited. The coasts are mailnly of two types: beaches of fine granite sand or jagged reefs rich of splendid lonely bays.
