Albergo Sartori is part of the Montevecchio mining complex. Built in 1942, it was designed to accommodate the many workers who, coming from the surrounding villages, worked in the mines but did not reside permanently in the area. The building was named after Francesco Sartori, managing director of the mines, as a tribute to his contribution to the development of the mining district.

Its construction, which responded precisely to the need to provide adequate housing for workers, could accommodate about 250 people, distributed in large dormitories. Inside, in addition to the dormitories, there were common areas such as a canteen, kitchens, and bathrooms: the structure was intended to represent a modern solution for the time, designed to respond to the growing need for housing in a period in which the Sardinian mining industry was in full expansion.

It stands out structurally for its sober and functional lines, typical of the industrial architecture of the fascist period. The structure extends vertically over six floors, with a façade characterised by regularly arranged windows, which ensured good ventilation and natural lighting for the interiors.

The materials used for the construction, mainly local, helped to integrate the building into the surrounding landscape, maintaining a balance between functionality and aesthetics.

The design choices responded not only to practical needs, but also to the desire to create a complex that symbolised modernity and progress linked to the mining industry. The building, in fact, was located in a strategic position, above the western construction site of the mine and along the Provincial Road 66, which connects Montevecchio to other mining centres such as Ingurtosu, thus facilitating the movement of workers.

After more than three decades of activity, the Sartori Hotel ceased its operations in the 1970s, coinciding with the decline of mining activities that led to the abandonment of many similar structures. Today the building is in a state of decay, with bare interiors damaged by atmospheric agents and the passage of time. However, it remains a precious testimony to Sardinia's mining past, representing a significant example of industrial architecture and a historical document of the living and working conditions of the mining workers.
