Discover Our Heritage:

The stazzo, derived from the Latin word "statio" meaning station or resting place, is a quintessential rural settlement found in northern Sardinia. In the Gallura region, it is affectionately known as "lu stazzu." For centuries, the stazzo served as the cornerstone of rural life for shepherd-farmers, embodying the rich history and traditions of Sardinian culture.

At the Lighthouse Villa, we invite you to immerse yourself in the timeless allure of the stazzo. Our meticulously restored farmhouse, built from locally sourced granite blocks, exudes rustic elegance and historic charm. Step inside to discover a warm and inviting sanctuary, where tradition meets modern comfort.
