Immerse yourself in the authentic soul of Sardinia by staying at Casa Manconi, a charming late 19th-century home located in the historic district of Santu Predu, the cultural heart of Nuoro. This independent house is spread over two floors and offers spacious, welcoming interiors: two triple bedrooms, a bright living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a front courtyard, and a small inner garden. With granite walls and original doors, it offers peace and quiet away from the city's noise. Once the residence and studio of a local artist, the house still holds some of his works: traces of a creativity that lingers in the atmosphere. Its location is ideal for exploring inland villages, hiking through Sardinia’s wild landscapes, or reaching the eastern coast’s white beaches in just 40 minutes. Casa Manconi is perfect for those seeking inspiration, beauty, and an intimate, authentic stay off the beaten path.

Santu Predu is the oldest and most authentic district of Nuoro, a noble quarter rich in memory, silence, and soul. Its narrow stone alleys, granite houses, and quiet courtyards still preserve the city's most intimate identity. Just steps from Casa Manconi stands the Piazza del Rosario and the Church, with free parking available nearby. In the adjacent Piazza Salvatore Satta, you can admire the striking stone sculptures by Pinuccio Sciola, paying tribute to the renowned jurist and writer born in Nuoro. A short walk away, you’ll find the Grazia Deledda House Museum, home of Italy’s only female Nobel Prize winner for Literature, offering a touching look into her life and legacy. Piazza Su Connottu is a symbolic site of civic resistance and local pride, while Piazza Sebastiano Satta offers a quiet, poetic atmosphere, enhanced by the evocative sculptures of Costantino Nivola, honoring the famous Sardinian poet. All major cultural landmarks are within walking distance: the Spazio Ilisso, a vibrant center for Sardinian art and design, and the MAN Museum, one of Sardinia’s most important institutions for contemporary art. Santu Predu is not just a neighborhood, it’s a journey into Nuoro’s memory, creativity, and deep cultural roots.
