The stazzo was made of blocks of rough granite covered by a double slope roof whose main beam was usually made of juniper or chestnut wood. The building faced south-east to get the most sun.

The stazzo often consisted of a single room that was used as a kitchen, dining room, and bedroom. If a number of stazzi were close to each other, such that several families could run one farm, a “cussogghja” was founded.

The Gallurese Stazzo countryside is unique in Sardinia. The grazing hills of Gallura, interspersed with centuries-old dry-stone walls and dotted with cork oaks, could easily have taken the place of Provence in the most famous impressionist paintings.

Quiet and peace also make this countryside the perfect place for devoting oneself to wellness and meditation, as well as to traditional activities such as collecting wild herbs, cultivating a vegetable garden or keeping a small animal farm.
