  • EXMA – Exhibiting and Moving Arts

    The city's municipal arts centre, housed since 1993 in a 19th-century former slaughterhouse (EX MAttatoio, hence the name). Exhibitions, concerts, theatre, workshops and radio programmes; in October and November it hosts FestivalScienza and the Tuttestorie children's literature festival, and in summer it stages shows.

  • Palazzo Doglio

    A 1920s building that fills a whole block, restored and opened as a hotel of the Leading Hotels of the World group. Its spa is open to the public through a separate entrance on Via Goceano.

Running costs

Low running costs, by design

Running costs depend on the systems in the flat, so here they are.

  2. No gas at all: no gas contract and no boiler.

  3. All-LED lighting, new high-performance windows and a photovoltaic system.

  4. A home automation system to manage the flat.

We don't quote bill estimates. We'll publish measured figures once we have them.

FAQ

Questions about long stays

How long can I rent a Materia studio in Via Logudoro?

The two studios in Via Logudoro, Cagliari, are rented for long stays at €950 a month (Blu) and €840 a month (Verde), with utilities excluded and fibre included. Shorter stays from 2 months are also possible, at an all-inclusive price given on request.

Can two people live in one studio?

No. Each studio in Via Logudoro is let to one person. Both have a 160×200 double bed, but the size is for comfort, not for a second occupant.

Are pets allowed in the long-stay studios?

No, pets are not allowed in the Blu or Verde studios.

What is included in the monthly rent?

The rent covers a fully furnished 35 m² studio with a kitchen equipped down to pans, plates, cutlery and chopping boards, a washer-dryer, a dishwasher, a 43-inch Smart TV, and fibre internet that is already active. Utilities are paid separately.

Which bills does the tenant pay?

Electricity, in your name, and the municipal waste tax (TARI). There is no gas: a high-efficiency heat pump handles heating, cooling and hot water, with all-LED lighting, high-performance windows and a photovoltaic system to keep consumption down. Fibre internet is included in the rent.

Can I register my residence at the studio?

Yes. Registering your residence at the Via Logudoro studio is allowed.

Can I apply with foreign income or a research fellowship?

Yes. We ask for proof of income, which can be an employment letter, a fellowship or grant letter, or similar documents, from Italy or abroad. A guarantor is optional. You'll also need an ID and an Italian tax code (codice fiscale).

Can I use the studio for an Italian digital nomad visa application?

Italy's digital nomad and remote worker visa (art. 27-quater of Legislative Decree 286/1998 and the Ministerial Decree of 29 February 2024) asks for suitable accommodation, health insurance and a minimum income set by law. The studios are long-stay homes where you can register your residence. This is general information, not legal advice: check the current requirements with the Italian consulate in your country.

Can I work from home full time?

Yes. Fibre internet is active and included in the rent. The Verde studio has a workstation with a desk and an office chair; the Blu studio has a table with chairs. Four coworking spaces in central Cagliari are available for days out of the flat.

What is the difference between the Blu and Verde studios?

Both are about 35 m², with the same systems and equipment. Blu (€950/month) has a fixed 160×200 bed with travertine bedside tables, full blackout curtains and an outdoor terrace, so it suits shift workers and light sleepers. Verde (€840/month) has a bigger kitchen, a desk with an office chair and a 160×200 sofa bed that frees the living room by day, so it suits people who cook and work from home.

Which floor are the studios on? Is there a lift?

Both studios are on the second floor, and the building has a lift.

How are the studios heated and cooled?

A high-efficiency Samsung heat pump provides heating, cooling and hot water. Each studio controls its own, so you set the temperature yourself. There is no gas in the flat.

How far is the beach from Via Logudoro?

Poetto, Cagliari's 8 km beach, is 10–15 minutes by CTM bus (lines PF and PQ) from Via Roma and Piazza Matteotti. In summer several lines run past midnight.

How do I get from Cagliari airport to the studio?

Take the train from the airport station, under 300 m from the terminal along a covered walkway, to Cagliari station in Piazza Matteotti: about 7 minutes, €1.30, on average every 20 minutes on weekdays.
