distinguishing the 78 rooms, suites, and villas, as well as the main common areas. These same spaces also have hand-made ceramics by Walter Usai, a “strexiaiu” (literally “table-maker”) craftsman who carries on the family know-how that started in 1850, first with his grandfather and then passed down to his father. And there is also the tradition of handcrafted terracotta with Cerasarda, seen in hand-glazed terracotta inlays in the rooms’ bleached oak furniture. The dramatic power of the Sardinian landscape makes its way into many of the interiors through photographs, chosen and created together with the Alidem company in Milan and arranged on full-height panels for a spectacular presence. Naturally, particular attention was paid to the outdoor areas, in keeping with the philosophy of the interiors and the architectural materials. The area around the swimming pool, for instance, was designed with wood and cane structures and furnished with Ethimo pieces. The Lounge terrace created on the roof bar makes the untamed nature stand out all the more. 132 | IFDM
