This townhouse in Sardinia is called Casa Orosei, named in honor of the Sardinian marble that adorns its bathroom. It is located in the town of Cuglieri, in the hills along the island’s western coast, a fifteen-minute drive from the beaches. From the rooftop terrace, the view takes in the village’s orange-hued roof tiles, the mountains of the hinterland, and sunsets that turn pink.
The house has four levels, with each floor offering a different atmosphere, blending rough-hewn stone, vintage furniture, and contemporary touches. The result is surprisingly harmonious despite the diversity of styles present.
The main living room is centered around a wall of rough volcanic stone, left exposed from floor to ceiling. An arched niche, carved into the thickness of the wall, holds a small bouquet of dried flowers. Two beige linen sofas face each other, piled high with cushions featuring floral and geometric patterns. A black metal tripod floor lamp illuminates the corner of the wall. The terracotta tile floor is typical of homes in this region. A dark wooden beam runs across the white ceiling, the only visible remnant of the building’s age.
One floor up, the house takes on a different style. A 1960s-style arc lamp hangs over a light-wood coffee table. Two armchairs with chrome bases, upholstered in striped fabric, evoke 1970s furniture. This room features a decidedly vintage decor. A white wooden desk and two beige chairs sit in front of the windows with interior shutters, offering a view of the village rooftops. One Berber rug adds warmth to the space.
The kitchen embraces contrast. A slate-blue, curved countertop extends into a bar area with two raw-wood stools. A massive white range hood hangs over a black stovetop, surrounded by copper pots suspended from a metal rod. The brown and beige geometric-patterned tiles, which seem to come straight from the last century, cover the entire backsplash.
The kitchen opens onto a dining area where a solid-wood table is lit by two industrial pendant lights. Through the window, the village spreads out below, with tiled roofs and colorful facades. The choice of vintage tiles on a slate-colored background adds character to a space that is nonetheless highly functional.
The master bedroom features an open bathroom with a bathtub built into a recess that extends all the way to the bed. White linens and a gray throw lend an air of understated elegance to the space. The other bedroom is even more understated and features a pale blue color scheme.
The room that gives the house its name is a unique space. The bathtub, carved from a single block of Orosei marble, has an elongated shape. Its cream hue shifts with the light, ranging from off-white to amber. An entire panel of green marble veined with white and pink covers the back wall, serving as a mineral echo to the bathtub. Chrome wall-mounted faucets complete this rather spectacular design. A video showing its creation can be viewed on YouTube (by clicking this link).
Elsewhere, a freestanding sink made of raw terracotta, with a rust- and brown-patinated finish, takes on the appearance of a contemporary sculpture. In another bathroom, an antique mirror with a patinated frame hangs above a sink set on a solid wood countertop. The use of raw marble is undoubtedly the most successful decorative choice in the entire house.
In the entryway, an antique Chinese console table, lacquered in orange and black, with drawers and brass hardware, has been placed. The wrought-iron banister, adorned with scrollwork, follows the rise of the light-colored stone steps. A terrazzo floor, speckled with black and beige, runs across the landings. This type of floor is typical of old Italian homes. This blend of ancient Chinese craftsmanship and traditional Sardinian ironwork captures the spirit of the entire house quite well, with its objects gathered over time that give it a very personal touch.
The top level of this townhouse in Sardinia opens onto a terrace overlooking the entire village. Below, the tiled roofs cascade down to the foothills, with a church steeple barely rising above the facades. The mountains frame the horizon, bathed in a golden light that heralds the sunset. The furniture is understated so as not to compete with the landscape.
The house showcases its surroundings. All the windows look out onto the tiled roofs, the colorful facades, and the mountains in the distance. Cuglieri still lives to the rhythm of its cobblestone streets, the flowerpots lined up in front of the doors, and the exposed volcanic stone facades. The proximity to the beaches of the western coast, a fifteen-minute drive away, allows residents to enjoy both the seaside and the atmosphere of this unspoiled village.
One could compare its atmosphere to that of some Provençal villages. The same exposed stone, the same modest and authentic feel. “Last but not least,” it’s worth noting that the house was also designed with sustainability in mind, featuring solar panels, heat pumps, and double-glazed windows, a remarkable approach that deserves recognition.
Casa Orosei doesn’t rely on any trends designed to be Instagram-worthy. It’s an authentic space featuring 1970s furniture, a 19th-century Chinese console table, embroidered textiles from around the world, and marble quarried just a few kilometers away. This mix of elements could easily have turned into a jumble of knickknacks.
But that’s not the case at all; instead, it creates a personal and unique interior. The bathroom, crafted from Orosei marble, is undoubtedly the most remarkable feature of this Sardinian townhouse. It’s a rare piece, patiently carved, that’s well worth discovering.
