Do You Know The Traditional Sardinia Stazzo?

Traditional Stazzo in Sardinia

 

These are the traditional farmhouse of Gallura, the historical region in the north east of Sardinia.
In the local dialect, the Gallurese,  it is known as “Lu Stazzu, such rural dwellings are found both in northern Sardinia and in the Island of Corse as well as in other southern regions of Italy.

The word stazzo comes from the Latin “statio,” “a place to rest”: the stazzi were therefore shelters and homes of Gallura shepherds and farmers.

Where to find Stazzi

In the Barbagia region (central east Sardinia) such dwellings are known as Su Pinnettu, a temporary shelter used by the shepherds during the transhumance. The stazzi is distinguished by granite masonry that reflects the stationary nature of such building within which families used to live all year round. The oldest stazzi date back to the 18th century, when Corsicans settled in Sardinia.

There are still stazzi for sale in the beautiful Gallura countryside waiting to be converted into appealing country villas.
Live in Sardinia is one of the most experienced real estate agency that can cater for Sardinia traditional farmhouses for those interested in taking on rewarding, restoration projects.

Stazzo Architecture

The Traditional Stazzo in Sardinia was built from blocks of rough granite stone, abundantly available in the surroundings, topped by a double-pitched roof whose main beam was usually made of local juniper or chestnut wood.

The farmhouse would usually be exposed towards south-east to get most of the sun. These Sardinia stone cottages often consisted of a single room that would serve as kitchen (with complementary fireplace), dining room and bedroom all together. Outside there was a wood oven to bake the bread and roast meat.

If few stazzi were built within close vicinity to each other such that several families could run their own farm, a “cussogghja”, rural settlement, was then established.

Gallura’s farmsteads are unique in Sardinia being seamlessly set in striking bucolic surroundings: expansive grazing hills interspersed  by centuries-old dry-stone walls and dotted with luscious oaks, cork woods, an image that could be easily been mistaken for some areas in Provence.

Most importantly, for those who value tranquility and peace living in such lovely countryside can be the perfect place for devoting oneself to wellness and meditation, as well as enjoying the time picking wild herbs and mushrooms, home-growing vegetable and fruits or keeping a small animal farm.
