The childhood holiday home.
Suite al Borgo is the house where Daniele spent his summers as a child, in the small village of Sant’Agostino. Together with Alice, he renovated it with his own hands and the materials of his land, and opened it to those looking for a place to slow down.
It has always been home.
Sant’Agostino is a hamlet of a few houses on Sardinia’s central plateau. As a child, Daniele spent his holidays there, in the family house. Years later, when he and Alice decided to renovate it, the idea was not to make it an investment. It was to give that house back what it was missing, without losing what it already had.
The house remained a house. It just also became a place where others can stay.
And then Alice arrived.
Alice is Daniele’s partner and the person who holds together everything that happens at Al Borgo. She takes care of the hospitality, the daily care of the house, the details that make the difference between an Airbnb and a home that truly welcomes you. When you arrive, she’s probably the one handing you the keys.
Daniele works the stone a few minutes from here.
Stone Art is the workshop that Daniele and his partner Gianfranco opened in 2004. Natural stone has been worked there for over 20 years. When he and Alice decided to renovate the house in Sant’Agostino, he brought into the house what he does in the workshop: baths, basins, floors, details — all made by hand, all in natural stone.
It wasn’t an exercise in style. It was the most direct way to make a house that tells you where the people who live in it come from.
On request, during your stay, you can visit the workshop. It’s not a tourist tour — it’s where he works every day.

And then there’s everything else.
Buono is the family wine bar, a few minutes from the house. Sardinian wines, local products, cheeses and cured meats. For those who book with us, there’s a reserved 10% discount.
A few minutes away you’ll also find the Stone Art Café in Abbasanta — which delivers lunch and dinner directly to the villa — and the one in Ghilarza, ten minutes by car. The 10% discount applies to all three.
For those who want to take home a piece of Sardinia that isn’t the usual souvenir, these are the right places.
Why we do it this way.
We could have made another anonymous Airbnb. Ikea furniture, standard shower, wide-angle photos. We would have earned the same, maybe more, with half the effort.
We chose a different path because we believe that houses tell you who lives in them. The natural stone, the hammam, the sauna, the hot tubs heated all year — they’re how we can offer our guests something they won’t easily find elsewhere. But above all, they’re how we can offer our house, real, and not a version of it.
When our guests say they felt welcomed — and they say it often, you’ll find it in the reviews — that’s the real result.
Daniele and Alice
