Casa Alice is located in the heart of Monte Gruttas, a small hamlet in the territory of Castiadas which, with its 13 km of coastline and enchanting landscapes surrounded by greenery, represents one of the most picturesque municipalities in the historic region of Sarrabus . In fact, at the end of the 19th century, it became the seat of the Penal Colony, the largest agricultural penal structure in Italy, created with the aim of reclaiming a marshy and unhealthy area, utilising the work of prisoners who had to serve their sentences. The colony ceased its activity in the early 1950s when the Ente di Trasformazione Fondiaria e Agraria della Sardegna (ETFAS) - Land and Agricultural Transformation Authority of Sardinia - acquired the management of the territory by implementing the agrarian reform and assigning the farms derived from the expropriation to farmers in order to revitalise Sardinian agriculture. The original marble plaque hanging proudly on the wall identifies Casa Alice as “Podere n° 17 – San Ugo“. A farmhouse restored and furnished with passion by the owner who preserved its authenticity: light switches in refined porcelain, the original floors, an old wood-burning stove, furnishing purchased in Provence, the original internal staircase, a stable transformed into a prestigious wine cellar, all giving the property a retro soul and making it ideal for those looking for peace and quiet without sacrificing the style.
