Where am I - Travel Game II.

I don't know if this will be easy or hard -

Going off line but before I do, can I suggest Mexico?

Good guess, I can see guessing that myself, but no, not Mexico.


I'm going offline too, may check in later this evening (about 8:30 here) but also, maybe not.

I had seen similar buildings in a French video clip, but when I looked at the URL of the picture I discovered that the place is Italian.

You looked at the URL????????????????

I guess he didn't need to.

It's a question of common sense (and of knowing you): "Ossobuco posts a nice pic of a foreign place... Where is it? Italy for sure". :wink:

You must have missed my Mexico posts... I've done at least two, heh.

Well are we looking in Europe? The nearest I've been able to find is a house in the form of a shoe in the US!

Yes, Paaskyman looked at the URL and announced that the photo is Italy.
You could say that.

OK. We know -thanks to Paaskynen- that it's in Italy.

A seaside resort.
Looks kind of ritzy.
This means it's not on the Adriatic coast (massive tourism, there).
Not in the Amalfi coast (would break the traditional style)
Should be either the Ionic coast or the Islands.
I'm betting for Sardinia.
Is it Olbia? Olbia is ritzy.

Sardinia is right.

I don't know the exact spot myself, just where it's close to.

I'll see if I can find out more.

Don't see Olbia mentioned on my source yet, will go look at a map to be sure it isn't thereabouts.



Edit ---- No, it is not nearby Olbia.

Night, folks...

As others found it, I'm just giving info about the place:

- It is Circolo Golf of Is Molas, near Pula, in the southern outskirts of Cagliari, Sardinia.

You've done well Francis, I've searched all day to no avail.

You had a veil?

avail:
Use, benefit, or advantage: labored to no avail.
Meant to be read in this context.

Just joking, Dutchy, as suggested by the evil smiley..

I'm aware of that Francis! You know I looked at odd houses, odd buildings, unique houses, modern architecture, fairy tale houses and a host of others things.

How I found that ugly place.... (well, just my opinion)

I looked in Arc Space, the superior website for architectural photography. (There now, I've given myself away.) Looked up a few people, heh, not all of them italians. Looked up Massimiliano Fuksas, the italian architect whom I keep seeing mentioned lately, most recently in some conversation with Rem Koolhaas on the designboom website. Checked out his work.
Here's his woo-hoo website - http://www.fuksas.it/html/index.html -
click on that wavy webby thing to choose italian or english. All sorts of buildings to look at there, she says, blinking - click Archive and scroll.

Anyway, that is a golfing resort, and that is a golf hotel, I gather. It's a little confusing, since I see on the telegraph UK website, you can also buy villas there for 1 to 4 million euros.
