Nestled on the promontory of Abbiadori, with privileged views of the stunning Cala Volpe, Villa 1 presents itself as an architectural work of rare expressive intensity. Signed by Fabio Mazzeo Architects, this exclusive residence in Costa Smeralda translates the power of the Sardinian landscape into a sinuous and material architectural gesture, where nature and design intertwine in a perfect balance.
Spread over 1,300 square meters across three levels, the villa interacts with a terraced park of over 5,000 square meters and a scenographic infinity pool spanning two levels—a feature that enhances the visual and sensory connection with the Mediterranean. The fluid-organic volumes, seemingly sculpted by the wind, follow the natural contours of the land, respecting and skillfully responding to its form.
The villa does not impose itself; it rests, merges, and camouflages, offering a vision of architecture as a soft and contemplative gesture.
The key material for the project is travertine, which plays a starring role both inside and outside, in dialogue with a palette of fine marbles and wooden surfaces. Full-height glass facades open the views towards ever-changing horizons, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. Every space is designed around the landscape: from the living area and master suite to the kitchen and guest spaces, nature is an integral part of the living experience.
The panoramic terrace, finished with natural wood planks, extends like a suspended walkway toward the sea, completing a project where material refinement and meticulous attention to detail converge into poetic and sensory architecture. A place to live as an aesthetic and personal experience, conceived for those who see dwelling as an intimate and profound gesture.
