Why Mogorella?

So why did we pick Mogorella? Mattias’s father, Mario, came from the neighbouring village of Ruinas, and Mario’s sister lives in Mogorella with her family. Mattias spent many childhood summers with cousins in both Mogorella and Ruinas.

When Anna visited Sardinia the first time in 1999, it was love at first sight. In 2007 Mattias’s parents, Gun-Britt and Mario, bought the house in Mogorella as a summer house.

Unfortunately Mario passed away the same year and after a few years Gun-Britt thought keeping the house for holidays only was too much work, so we decided to buy it instead. For 10 years we spent almost all our holidays here. In 2017 we moved, what we thought would be permanently with 2 teenagers, a cat and a dog, to Mogorella. Unfortunately in early 2020 we had to return to Sweden for work reasons. We are hoping to return within a few more years, when our kids are grown. Until then we would like for others to enjoy our house with the blue door, while we cannot.

Warm and welcoming

We find Mogorella to be a very warm welcoming village and the surrounding nature stunning!

The old, well worn, cobble stone streets and stone houses have a certain charm that you cannot ignore. And even though the village is so small we still have the most important services here, like two convenience stores, a flower shop, a pharmacy and a doctor’s office, a gym and a library and a bar (in the winter it is in the same block as our house, in the summer it moves to an outdoor location near the sports field, il campo sportivo), where there are events for all ages practically every week during the long summer school break.
