B and B LANANAI



The Lananai’s project was conceived with the goal to create an opportunity of pleasant work and free expression for my family.



With dedication and commitment we have tried to ensure that the project would be a mirror of our personality: furnishings, colors, garden, choice of objects.
It has been hard to realize that what we had in mind, would have taken a very long time.



The concept needed a lot of personal energy. It is that energy that now the guest perceives whilst living an experience of complete satisfaction.


Hospitality is our/my key word. We have three spacious rooms with furniture made ​​by us, each with a private bathroom for maximum privacy. We choose not to have television and air conditioning, we decided to create a well-insulated house.
Guests dispose of a large kitchen with all comforts and spacious common areas where they can cook and dwell in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Only environmentally friendly detergents are available for dishes, dishwasher and washing machine.


The property is surrounded by a large garden of native/local trees: arbutus, mastic trees, heather, terebinth, myrtle at will. The presence of nature is total ... perfumes, trees, sun, colors, silences, mountains, sea.
Following the principles of organic agriculture we personally look after our synergistic vegetable garden, our Canonau’s  vineyard and our large olive grove.
Our goal is to give our guests the feeling that another way to be welcomed might be possible!


TEXTILE COOPERATIVE SU MARMURI



The Textile Cooperative Su Marmuri was founded in 1971. Its aim is to preserve the textile traditions of Ulassai  Village; it is the longest running Women's Cooperative of Sardinia.



The artifacts are made with the weaving technique called "a Pibionis" (grapes), whose names comes  from the characteristic embroidery design. The focus has always been to produce textiles with very high quality standards, paying particular attention to the fineness of the materials and the subtlety of the combs.



Each garment, highly crafted, is made with locally found natural materials: Sardinian sheep wool, linen, cotton, hemp and silk.
The variety of the production is very wide; it includes carpets tuttopieno and semipieno , bedspreads, curtains, tablecloths, towels etc etc….



The patterns of the textiles come either from the wide repertoire of ancient textile Sardinian tradition or from the creativity of local artists, among whom the great Maria Lai, who are developing new patterns  starting from their own decorative tradition. In the case of Cooperative Textile Su Marmuri tradition and innovation are working together towards a new rise of Sardinian contemporary arts and crafts.
