AZULIS Clubhouse — spec sheet
Quick answer: AZULIS Clubhouse on Via Bernini is RENTAL12's second purpose-built development — luxury serviced apartments with a shared lobby, lift access, terraces, and sea-view units on the upper floors. The building topped out in 2026; interior fit-out under Anastasia Duke is in progress; opening targeted late 2026.
Design philosophy — Anastasia Duke's role
Quick answer: Anastasia Duke is RENTAL12's Design Director. She sets the interior brief for every AZULIS unit — material palette, lighting, art placement — and paints the original wall art selected per apartment. The brief targets a single emotional response: arrive, exhale, stay longer than planned.
The AZULIS interior language sits between Mediterranean restraint and Northern European calm. Olbia summer light is intense, so the colour palette stays muted — soft cream walls, pale oak floors, brass and concrete-grey accents. Heavy textiles (linen drapes, wool throws) absorb sound; the result is the unusual sensation of quiet inside a Mediterranean city centre.
Furniture & art — supplier shortlist
Quick answer: Upholstered furniture (sofas, armchairs, beds, headboards) comes from Laskasas — a Portuguese family-run manufacturer near Porto. Built-in cabinetry, kitchens, and bespoke storage are by Cloto, a Lombardy-based Italian workshop. All wall art is original Anastasia Duke paintings — one per unit, never reproduced.
Laskasas — Portugal
Family-run manufacturer near Porto. Hand-built upholstery with FSC-certified wood frames, premium foam, and removable linen covers — the right combination of resilience and luxury for high-turnover serviced apartments.
Cloto — Italy
Lombardy workshop specialising in bespoke built-ins. Every AZULIS kitchen, wardrobe, and storage wall is custom-fabricated to the apartment's exact dimensions — no off-the-shelf modules, no visible gaps.
Anastasia Duke originals
One original painting per apartment, never reproduced. Most pieces are mixed-media on canvas, sized to the dominant wall. See the AZULIS Art Collection for the full inventory.
Booking timeline — when can I stay?
Quick answer: Six AZULIS Pisano units are bookable today through the AZULIS satellite booking engines (azulisap1–azulisap8.com). Three Pisano units convert to long-term residency from 1 November 2026. AZULIS Clubhouse opens late 2026 with the first short-term bookings going live spring 2027.
From the people who built it
Quick answer: Two voices on AZULIS Pisano — Simon on the engineering choices (A++ energy class, heat recovery, sound isolation, smart-lock check-in) and Kristina on the operational outcomes (Miele appliances, premium linen, art curation, Breezeway-managed turnovers).
"We engineered AZULIS Pisano for A++ — but the certification isn't the point. The point is that the heat-recovery ventilation pre-cools incoming summer air using the air being exhausted, so cooling load drops by about 40% versus a standard build. We also poured the inter-floor slabs at 26 cm with mineral-wool acoustic decoupling, so footstep noise between residences is effectively zero. Smart-lock check-in via Vikey means guests arrive at any hour without us — but every lock and every camera reports to one ops dashboard."
"What guests actually feel when they walk in is the Miele induction hob, the percale linen at 200 thread count, and the Anastasia Duke painting above the bed. Pisano is the building that lets us standardise that across nine residences without losing the per-unit feel — each apartment has its own art, its own kitchen colourway, its own light. Cleaning is managed through Breezeway with a 47-point checklist; turnovers are 4 hours from check-out to check-in. That's why our review average stays at 4.9★."
"We stripped the building back to its raw skeleton to capture the light. Pisano isn't a renovation — it's a completely new architectural dialogue. My job was to document every phase so the story we tell on the website is the story we actually built. Every photo on this page is shot in-house, no stock, no staging — what you see is what guests walk into."

Frequently asked questions
Quick answer: The most common questions about AZULIS Pisano (Aldo Moro, completed May 2025), AZULIS Clubhouse (Via Bernini, opening late 2026), booking windows, energy class, parking, and the operational team.
When does AZULIS Pisano open and start accepting guests?
AZULIS Pisano (Via Pisano 16, Aldo Moro district, Olbia) completed construction on 16 May 2025 and is active inventory. Long-term residency units operate from 1 November 2026; short-term holiday units are bookable now via rental12.com and the AZULIS satellite booking engines.
The building handover was 16 May 2025. Six of the nine units have been bookable for short stays since June 2025 — that's the AZULIS portfolio you see on rental12.com/en/azulis. Three units convert to long-term residency contracts from 1 November 2026 to balance the portfolio's revenue mix; the other six remain short-term.
How many apartments are inside the AZULIS Pisano building?
AZULIS Pisano has nine residential units (eight apartments plus a duplex penthouse) inside a single seismic-resistant reinforced-concrete building, with gated video-monitored on-site parking and a private garden.
Unit mix: four 1-bedroom suites (42–62 m²), four 2-bedroom apartments (78–94 m²), and one duplex penthouse (#8) at 110 m² with a private roof terrace.
Where exactly is Via Giovanni Pisano 16 located in Olbia, Sardinia?
Via Giovanni Pisano 16 is in the Aldo Moro residential district of Olbia, Sardinia — a quiet area outside the historic centre and outside the ZTL zone, ~12 minutes walk to Corso Umberto and ~9 minutes drive to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB).
Aldo Moro is north-west of the historic centre. There's no ZTL on this street, so guests can drive directly to the gate. The neighbourhood is residential, served by artisan bakeries, supermarkets, and the Saturday street market on Via D'Annunzio.
Can I book an AZULIS Pisano apartment directly today?
Yes. Six AZULIS Pisano units are bookable today through rental12.com and the dedicated satellite booking engines: azulisap1.com, azulisap2.com, azulisap3.com, azulisap5.com, azulisap7.com and azulisap8.com. Direct bookings include the lowest rate, no OTA fees, and direct WhatsApp contact with the owner-operators.
The satellite booking engines are connected to the same calendar and inventory as rental12.com — they're not separate listings, just direct-booking entry points for guests who want to skip OTAs entirely.
What is the Italian APE energy classification of AZULIS Pisano?
AZULIS Pisano is certified A++ — the highest energy efficiency class in the Italian APE rating scale. The building uses heat-recovery ventilation, photovoltaic panels, high-performance insulation, and triple-glazed windows to keep cooling and heating loads under 30 kWh per square metre per year.
A++ is roughly 60% lower energy consumption than the Olbia average for residential buildings. For guests this means lower indoor heat in August and stable temperatures without aggressive AC.
How do AZULIS Pisano and AZULIS Clubhouse differ from each other?
AZULIS Pisano (Via Pisano 16, Aldo Moro) is a completed 9-unit residential building active since May 2025. AZULIS Clubhouse (Via Bernini, central Olbia) is a separate luxury serviced-apartment project topping out in 2026 with opening targeted late 2026 — bookable from spring 2027.
Pisano is residential-grade with hotel-grade finishes, leaning toward longer stays and small families. Clubhouse is purpose-built as a serviced-apartment building with a shared lobby, lift, and a penthouse with jacuzzi — closer to a boutique-hotel feel.
Who designed the interiors of AZULIS Pisano and who supplied the furniture?
Interior architecture was led by Anastasia Duke, Design Director at RENTAL12. Furniture sourcing comes from Laskasas (Portugal) for upholstered pieces and Cloto (Italy) for built-in cabinetry. Wall art across every unit is original Anastasia Duke paintings, individually selected per apartment.
See the Anastasia Duke profile page for design credentials and the AZULIS Art Collection for the full painting inventory.
Is AZULIS Pisano a new build or a refurbishment of an existing structure?
AZULIS Pisano is a complete new-build. The previous 1980s masonry structure on Via Pisano 16 was fully demolished in April 2023 and replaced with a reinforced-concrete building engineered to current seismic, acoustic, and thermal standards. Notary deed dated 17 February 2022; building completed 16 May 2025.
The previous building was structurally unsalvageable for the standards we wanted (acoustic isolation, seismic compliance, A++ energy class). Demolition and reconstruction was the only path; the contractor was D&D Costruzioni SRL.
Does AZULIS Pisano include on-site parking for guests?
Yes. AZULIS Pisano has gated, video-monitored on-site parking inside the property perimeter — one assigned space per residence. This is unusual for Olbia where most centre apartments rely on public street parking; gated on-site parking is one of the project's defining amenities.
The gate opens via a code in your check-in pack. Cameras cover the parking area 24/7. Guests staying in other RENTAL12 city-centre apartments use our exclusive paid lot at Via Sassari 20 (parking guide).
Which company owns and operates the AZULIS Pisano and AZULIS Clubhouse developments?
All AZULIS development projects are owned and operated by Lion Development SRL — a Milano/Olbia property company founded in 2021 by Floriana Panvini Rosati and Kristina. RENTAL12 is the brand under which Lion Development markets and runs its 37 short-term and long-term residences in Olbia and Golfo Aranci.
Founder-led, owner-operated — every guest interaction is handled by the same team that commissioned the build. See the About page for full corporate background.
