For over 50 years, Immobilsarda – Christie’s has been advancing and promoting the enhancement of Gallura – Costa Smeralda territory through a philosophy based on lifestyle, respect for nature and sustainability.
This territory represents our most cherished gem, a rare land, a protected Natural Reserve in the heart of the Mediterranean: an enchanting blend of landscapes, scents, colors and architectural masterpieces perfectly integrated into Mediterranean nature. In this article, we will take you on a journey to discover the personalities who have made this destination a global style icon.
ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE: THE VISIONARIES WHO SHAPED GALLURA – COSTA SMERALDA
In the 1960s, figures such as Jacques and Savin Couëlle, Michele Busiri Vici, Luigi Vietti, Carlo Maria Tiscornia, along with other illustrious visionary architects, set their sights on the splendor of Sardinia and were inevitably captivated by the charm of the surrounding nature. But their influence went beyond passive admiration: the unique contribution of these creative geniuses helped define the status of Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda as a global style icon.
Jacques Couëlle brought his extraordinary ability to create architecture with the tools and mindset of a sculptor, shaping spaces with unparalleled artistic sensitivity. His son, Savin Couëlle, inherited this vision, collaborating with his father on projects such as the Cala di Volpe Hotel, as well as numerous luxury villas and residences, contributing to the distinctive style of Gallura – Costa Smeralda.
Since 1962, Jacques and Savin Couëlle have been the creators of the most important and innovative achievements in the Costa Smeralda. If Jacques dreamed, Savin gave shape to those dreams. Numerous villas and residences known as the “Ville Couëlle” are extraordinary and iconic, among the most sought after precisely because they bear their signature.
Michele Busiri Vici left a significant mark with projects like the Romazzino Hotel and Luci di La Muntagna Hotel, as well as numerous stunning villas, respecting the pristine territory and recalling typical Gallurese building traditions.
An innovator and landscape architect, Busiri Vici created a true reference point in the Island’s architecture with standards that were innovative for the time but still precious today, representing the expression of human language in architecture and the home as a mirror of the soul and human emotions.
Luigi Vietti, one of the founding architects of the Architecture Committee of Costa Smeralda, together with the aforementioned colleagues, contributed to define the region’s architectural identity with projects like Pitrizza Hotel and Cervo Hotel, which became the most exclusive ones in the Costa Smeralda. For Vietti, the integration of a building into the landscape, urban or natural, was of paramount importance. His stylistic hallmark seems to be the “stazzo”, the stone building typical of rural settlements or those linked to the pastoralism of Gallura.
Engineer Carlo Maria Tiscornia, a pioneer of his time in another part of Gallura, left his mark with his construction philosophy and profound respect for nature, demonstrating extraordinary dedication in overcoming the limits imposed by the context, inspired by the beauty of local nature. His purpose was to create a reality where people could live in total harmony with the surrounding nature, rediscovering fundamental values such as the importance of quality of life and authentic well-being, stemming from direct contact with the land, the sea and their fruits.
In this perspective, Tiscornia designed the Villas of Portobello di Gallura Residential Park. Each of them is a work of art, designed to harmoniously blend into the surrounding natural context. Built with natural materials and meticulously cared for, these dream solutions boast lush private gardens, spacious panoramic verandas and an enviable position just a few meters from the sea. The curved lines of the villas seem sculpted by the wind and often merge with the rock, giving them a unique and integrated identity integrated into the landscape.
