If you’re looking for a wonderful Italian experience, this vacation home rental in Sardinia is located in the medieval village of Cuglieri, surrounded by cobbled streets and near two great little restaurants.
The house was restored in 2014, and great care was taken to highlight the different phases in its history. We love the interior stone walls and tiling, and the extensive use of the Sardinian marble orosei in the flooring and walls. There is even a bathtub, which has been carved by hand out of a solid marble block.
The house is furnished with Italian design, both contemporary and classic. Decor is eclectic, with classical and contemporary art, alongside surprisingly bold splashes of color. The fully-equipped kitchen on the third floor is a cool mix of country and contemporary.
The roof terrace is a great spot to enjoy views across the countryside to the Mediterranean.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
There is waterborne, underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the bathrooms. All rooms have air conditioning that can produce either warm or cold air. Wifi, bedlinen and towels are provided. There is a private elevator in the building, as well as a washing machine and dryer, hairdryer, iron and fireplace.
There is a TV screen but no TV channels; however, via your laptop you can connect it to the internet, and DVDs are provided. There is free parking at the back of the house or two blocks away.
AROUND
The medieval village of Cuglieri is perched 500m up the slopes of the Montiferru mountains, Sardinia’s largest volcanic formation. The house is located in the oldest neighbourhood, with its beautiful cobbled streets constructed from the local volcanic stone, basalto.
Cuglieri is small, with about 2,500 residents in the winter, a bank, a post office, numerous butchers, a fishmonger, a market on Saturdays, several pizzerias, a tavola calda (for take-away food), a newsagent, bars, and two great restaurants – Desogos that serves local food, and Meridiana that serves seafood.
There are other great restaurants and agri-turismos, farm-restaurants, in nearby villages. The house is a 15min drive from the unspoiled beaches of western Sardinia.
