A stone and water palace in Sardinia

2022-05-25T05:24:36.332Z


In Porto Cervo, a top resort for the international jet-set, the villa La Grintosa, designed by the Italian architect Stefania Stera, reveals the assets of the landscape and marries the thousand reflections of the Costa Smeralda.


Stefania Stera knows this part of Sardinia's northeast coast like the back of her hand.

“I saw her born.

It was the 1960s, Prince Karim Aga Khan had laid eyes on these arid and still unexplored lands overlooking the sea. Guessing its great potential, he had bought them.

I was little and I visited the first construction sites and hotel complexes such as Romazzino and Cala Di Volpe which would become the most glamorous symbols of the Costa Smeralda”,

explains the architect who lives and works in Paris.

The sponsors of this house, she knows them well.

These are the same clients for whom his agency Stera Architectures had already designed a large-scale project in Paris.

For them, once again, she will imagine this vast, very special residence.

The coral color of this hallway leading to the kitchen animates the raw strength of the rock.

My first goal?

Preserve as many trees as possible on the property of just over one hectare, and integrate the villa into the landscape.
