Sustainable Stays: Sardinna Antiga, Sardinia, Italy

Life & Soul Magazine

If sun, sea and nature is your calling, coupled with a stay in a restored old home, then Sardinia’s bio sustainable village, Sardinna Antiga, may satisfy your “green” desires for your next vacation.

Located in the village of Santa Lucia, a small fishing village overlooking the sea around Sardinia, Sardinna Antiga has beautifully restored some of Sardinia’s traditional homes or ancient nuragic huts in an environmentally friendly manner.

Housed on the grounds of an ancient village, which was abandoned for over 50 years, Sardinna Antiga have recovered the huts in line with its former glory.

The dwellings have been built with all natural materials. Wood features heavily throughout the bio sustainable village, where sink basins have even been carved from wood. Since there are no sewers, a wetland has been constructed instead to avoid pollution.
