Crossing the threshold of Villa Il Grottino means stepping into the history of Costa Smeralda architecture. Designed by the renowned Savin Couelle, this extraordinary property preserves one of the most iconic details of his work: the evocative internal staircase, chosen as the cover image of the official volume dedicated to the master’s creations. Here, matter becomes art, shaped to converse in perfect harmony with the rock, the light, and the surrounding landscape.
The heart of the villa is a warm, theatrical living area, a space of timeless charm where elegant seating carved directly from stone gathers around a large central fireplace. Natural tones, soft nuances, and precious juniper-wood inlays help create an authentic, welcoming atmosphere. In this setting of rare allure, the kitchen has been deliberately preserved in its original state, as a tribute to the early days of the Costa Smeralda and to the style that defined its identity.
The sleeping area, intimate and private, includes two elegant bedrooms served by two bathrooms, as well as a splendid independent suite with private access and a delightful exclusive garden. An intimate, secluded retreat, ideal for guests or family members. The internal layout also offers the possibility of creating an additional room, perfect as a private study, guest room, or multifunctional space.
Arranged over multiple levels that naturally follow the land’s profile, the villa masterfully embodies Couelle’s philosophy of organic architecture, enhancing sea views from every perspective. Outside, the large panoramic terrace, enhanced by an evocative pergola, becomes the ideal place to enjoy the beauty of the landscape in total relaxation, with the space and provision needed for the creation of a future swimming pool.
Villa Il Grottino is not simply a residence, but a livable work of art: an authentic testament to Savin Couelle’s vision and to the most exclusive soul of the Costa Smeralda.
