8 bedrooms villa, 650 m²

Luogosanto, Sassari (province)

A Sanctuary in the Wild Beauty of Gallura

This extraordinary property lies nestled within one of Sardinia’s most untouched and evocative landscapes — in the true heart of Gallura. Towering granite rocks, sculpted by the wind, encircle and shelter this tranquil retreat, imbuing it with a nearly mystical aura.

The historic stazzo — a traditional rural farmhouse typical of northern Sardinia — dates back to the mid-19th century. Lovingly restored, it elegantly combines the authenticity of its origins with the comfort and style of modern living.

Set in a privileged and strategic location just south of Luogosanto and only minutes from the village, the property offers breathtaking panoramic views over the Strait of Bonifacio. Within a short drive, you can reach some of the region’s most stunning beaches — Vignola, Santa Teresa di Gallura, Rena Majore, and Portobello di Gallura — as well as the renowned Costa Smeralda, all while remaining far from the bustle of its high-season crowds.

Stazzo Piandaina extends across approximately 10 hectares of land, 3 of which are fully fenced. The property is surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation, rich in the scents of myrtle, rosemary, and mastic, offering an atmosphere of peace and harmony.

The main house spans around 220 m² and features generous, light-filled interiors: six bedrooms, six elegant bathrooms (some en-suite), two kitchens, and a spacious living and dining area enhanced by a traditional open fireplace that adds both warmth and character.

All around the home, numerous verandas open onto nature, allowing for seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces — carved granite rocks, fragrant maquis, and expansive views of Gallura’s gentle hills.

A beautifully maintained English-style lawn of approximately 3,000 m², equipped with an irrigation system, surrounds the house. At its heart lies a stunning swimming pool (18 x 6 meters) with a sunbathing area — a true haven under the open sky.

The estate also includes two historic rural outbuildings (30 m² and 250 m²), three charming gazebos tucked into the adjacent woodland, a natural spring with several wells, a small stream, and a vineyard waiting to be revived.

An existing building permit allows for an additional 25 m² of construction.

The entire property is located in an area of archaeological significance, bordering the Hermitage of San Trano — a spiritual site perched atop a granite hill in the very soul of Gallura. Once a refuge for two holy hermits, today it stands as a symbol of faith, surrounded by ancient legends. The hermitage is named after Saints Nicola and Trano, two ascetic monks who lived between the 4th and 5th centuries and chose this austere, remote setting to devote themselves fully to their spiritual path.

The surrounding landscape and cultural heritage of the Gallura hinterland form a natural treasure of rare beauty, where wild nature meets timeless history. And yet, the sea is just moments away: 18 kilometers of enchanting coastline with white sandy beaches and secluded coves — signature traits of this corner of Sardinia. Just a short drive away are Santa Teresa di Gallura, the Costa Smeralda, and the town of Olbia with its international airport, Aeroporto Costa Smeralda.
