Stazzo Chivoni, a XIX Century Country House
Peaceful Location, surrounded by Unspoilt Nature and 20 mins from the Nicest Beaches
Sleeps 5 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
Stazzo Chivoni is located on the top of the homonymous hill, in the countryside between Luogosanto and Bassacutena, good starting point for trekking and biking. Stazzo Chivoni is an early XIX century country-house, entirely built with granite stones. It is surrounded by Mediterranean scrub wood and vegetation, dry-stone walls. Sheltered by main winds, the place benefits from an ideal weather all year round with warm summers and mild winters. The building has been recently restored in compliance with the original criteria and materials: granite outside-walls and lime indoor-walls, juniper wood for the roof's structure and incannicciato ceiling (built with long, parallel reeds/bamboo canes). Interiors are simple and comfortable. The hinterland is rich of dense cork woods, ilex groves and millenary wild olive trees you can explore by car, bike or simply walking around. The Luogosanto region is peppered with country churches, stazzi and archaeological sites.

Further details
Gallura isn’t all about beaches and sea; there’s a greener and unspoilt nature just a few kilometres from the beach. The hinterland is rich of dense cork woods, ilex groves and millenary wild olive trees you can explore by car, bike or simply walking around. The Luogosanto region is peppered with country churches, stazzi and archaeological sites. On the way to Tempio Pausania the countryside changes rapidly: from the monolith of Mount Pulchiana to the boulder-strewn landscape of Valle della Luna and the thick pine woods of Maount Limbara you will enjoy terrific views.
For those who like trekking, Stazzo Chivoni organizes trekking tours along ancient rural paths or along the coast.
At night, you can savour the traditional dishes of Gallura at the agriturismi of the region or experiment local traditions in country feasts (in great numbers during Easter and summer) where you will try the real shepherds’ food such as “suppa cuata”, meat-based broths, pasta, offal-based dishes and homemade wine. These popular feasts (that always end with live-music and local dances) were, in the past, one of the rare occasions that shepherds and farmers had to socialize.
Not to miss, in August: “Musica sulle Bocche” in Santa Teresa (live-concerts on the beach at dawn and sunset) and “Time in Jazz” festival in Berchidda with world famous trumpet-player, Paolo Fresu..

Guest comments
"Beautiful and spacious, traditional farmhouse. Well equipped. Fantastic view over surrounding countryside. Very quiet and peaceful location. We visited in springtime when the garden is full of flowers. Short drive to beaches and coastline. Owners helpful and friendly."
"La maison est une ancienne bergerie rénovée avec goût, se trouve dans un environnement avec une très belle vue et tout à fait calme. C'est un endroit idéal pour se reposer et se ressourcer, sans pour autant être loin des plages. Les propriétaires sont très accueillants et parlent français. Nous gardons un excellent souvenir de ce séjour."
Owner profile
About the owner
Marzia and Leo. From Milan, Northern Italy, we moved to Sardinia 5 years ago. Quite bit of a change! Here we like Nature and outdoor life. With our small sailing boat we enjoy discovering new bays and small islands in the National Park of La Maddalena. During winter time our spare time is dedicate to country walks appreciating the peculiar and unique vegetation. Marzia enjoyed furnishing and decorating our stazzo which is now very original yet simple and cosy.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We like this place because it is quiet, with unspoilt Nature and near the coast. In season is not crowded.
Unique benefits of the property
You will enjoy peace, Nature and the real Sardinian way of life. A mild climate and the view to Luogosanto. The neighbour selling fresh eggs and organic vegetables! A nice, large and cosy house (with a huge garden) that is difficult to find in other part of Sardinia. It is strategically located between Archaeological sites, the most beautiful beaches and rural villages.
