The Terra & Vidru Studio is a 45 m² open-plan designer apartment that comfortably accommodates up to four guests. Located on a quiet side street in Cagliari's historic Stampace quarter, the studio combines curated Sardinian interiors with genuine tech infrastructure built for modern travellers and remote professionals.
Layout and Design
The apartment features an open-plan layout with a queen bed, a sofa bed in the living area, and a full bathroom with a walk-in rainfall shower. Every detail has been designed by a team of local Sardinian creatives under 30, and the project was featured on ArchDaily for its approach to blending traditional Sardinian materials with contemporary design. Warm terracotta tones, locally sourced textiles, and custom-made furniture create a space that feels both modern and rooted in the island's craft tradition.
Amenities
Connectivity comes first: the apartment is equipped with 1 Gbps symmetrical fibre Wi-Fi, tested and verified rather than estimated, so video calls, large uploads and streaming all work without interruption. A standing desk paired with a 27″ external monitor makes the studio a genuine workspace, not just a holiday let with a table.
The full kitchen includes a dishwasher, induction hob, oven, and an espresso machine for your morning routine. A washing machine is available for longer stays. Climate control is handled by individually adjustable air conditioning, and blackout curtains ensure restful sleep at any hour. The smart TV supports all major streaming platforms, and a self check-in system via smart lock means you arrive on your own schedule with no key handover required.
The Workspace: Built for Remote Professionals
Unlike most holiday apartments that offer a dining table as a "workspace", the Studio has a dedicated standing desk paired with a 27″ external monitor. The desk faces the window for natural light, and the chair is an ergonomic office model rather than a dining seat. With 1 Gbps symmetrical fibre confirmed by independent speed tests, video calls to any timezone run without buffering. Clients who have worked from the Studio include software engineers, designers, and consultants on multi-month contracts. If you are relocating to Sardinia to test remote work in southern Europe, this is the apartment we built for you.
Who It Is For
The studio is ideal for digital nomads and remote workers who need reliable internet and a proper desk setup, but it works equally well for couples exploring Sardinia or small families looking for a comfortable base in the city centre. The sofa bed and open layout give families with young children the flexibility of a single shared space.

Neighbourhood
Stampace is one of Cagliari's oldest quarters, characterised by narrow streets, neighbourhood bakeries, and a calm residential atmosphere just steps from the city's main sights. The Bastione di Saint Remy is a five-minute walk away, and from there the views over the Gulf of Cagliari are among the best on the island. The marina, the Roman Amphitheatre, and Via Roma's waterfront restaurants are all within easy walking distance. The bus network and shared scooter stations nearby connect you to Poetto Beach and the rest of the city.
Pricing and Booking

What Guests Say About the Studio
"The standing desk and fast internet made it easy to work full days, then step outside into the old town for dinner. Best remote-work setup I have found in Europe."
"We stayed for two weeks with our toddler. The open layout was perfect — we could see her from the kitchen while cooking. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe, and the self check-in meant no stress with nap schedules."
"Everything was exactly as described, which is rare. The shower pressure was excellent, the espresso machine a welcome touch, and Via Mameli is the quietest street I have slept on in any city."
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the studio suitable for remote work?
Yes. The studio has a dedicated height-adjustable standing desk paired with a 27-inch external monitor, an ergonomic office chair, and 1 Gbps symmetrical fibre Wi-Fi confirmed by independent speed tests. Previous guests include software engineers, designers, and consultants who stayed for multi-month contracts. The desk faces the window for natural light, and the open-plan layout keeps the workspace separate from the sleeping area.
How far is the studio from Poetto Beach?
Poetto Beach is about 20 minutes away by bus. Take the PQ line from Piazza Matteotti, which is a 5-minute walk from the apartment. Buses run every 10–15 minutes during summer and every 20–30 minutes in winter. A taxi costs around €12–15 one way.
Is there parking near the studio?
Street parking is available on Via Mameli and surrounding streets, with blue-line paid zones (€1/hour, free after 8 PM and on Sundays). The nearest covered car park is AutoPark Stampace on Via Azuni, a 3-minute walk away, charging approximately €10–12 per day. Most guests do not need a car — the city centre is entirely walkable from the apartment.
Can the studio accommodate a family with children?
Yes. The studio sleeps up to four guests: a queen bed plus a sofa bed in the living area. The open-plan layout works well for families with young children who prefer a single shared space. A travel cot can be provided on request at no extra charge. The neighbourhood is quiet and residential, with a small playground in Piazza Yenne, a 4-minute walk away.
What is the check-in process?
Check-in is entirely self-service via a smart lock — you receive a unique access code before arrival, so there is no key handover or scheduled meeting. Check-in is from 3 PM and check-out by 11 AM. Detailed instructions with photos of the entrance are sent 24 hours before your stay.
Getting Here
The studio is on Via Mameli in the Stampace quarter, in the historic centre of Cagliari. From Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), take a taxi (10–15 minutes, approximately €15–20) or the ARST airport bus to Piazza Matteotti, then walk 5 minutes south along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and turn right into Via Mameli. If you are arriving by train, Cagliari central station is a 7-minute walk away. Street parking is available nearby, but most guests explore the city entirely on foot.
