La Tanca del Conte

Sardinia, Italy
interior · 2024

Tanca del Conte is an immersive retreat set in the unspoiled landscapes of Muravera, in southern Sardinia. Designed by the Palomba Serafini studio, the agriturismo places nature at center stage: majestic mountains, stretches of olive groves, and the crystal-clear sea just 500 meters away create a setting that invites exploration.

Free-roaming animals, intense natural scents, and slow rhythms offer an authentic return to essentials. From this wild land comes the architecture itself: arrow-shaped structures that channel the force of water, and a large organic roof that settles onto the terrain with fluid, natural forms. The interiors echo the territory through materials inspired by local traditions, reinterpreted with contemporary elegance. For Palomba and Serafini, Tanca del Conte is a tribute to Sardinia’s genius loci: an intimate oasis where nature, memory, and design converge in a timeless, harmonious refuge.
