Overlooking the sea on the Sardinian coast, this home caught our eye thanks to its enviable location. If topping up your tan is high on your holiday to-do list, you’ll welcome the sight of the communal pool, surrounded by sun loungers. For those who prefer some quiet time to unwind with a book, the shaded terrace back at home is a real treat, with the sea views only adding to its appeal. You’ll need a car to get around and for local amenities in Golfo Aranci – exploring the island further is a must. 


A Perfect Ambience

Barbeque

Sitting on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Sardinia, this luxury villa is just footsteps away from the waterfront of Golfo Aranci. Characterised by its crystal clear sea views, you'll enjoy direct beach access and your own panoramic terrace. You'll likely spend most of your time outside with a private swimming pool, an outdoor lounge, and an alfresco dining area in a prime view of the sparkling seascape. Yet, you'll find equal comfort across the villa's three floors featuring modern designs centred around practicality. Easy access to the nearby supermarkets, children's playground and local restaurants – make this home ideal for a family getaway. 




Casa da Gloria

Single-Level Home

Balcony

Beach lovers rejoice – this villa is within a short stroll of a trio of sandy beaches, with the nearest just 50m away. Located on a complex overlooking Golfo Aranci bay, you’ll have access to a large, shared pool with spectacular sea views, as well as your own private garden and terrace. Location wise, you’re a short drive from the centre of Golfo Aranci, where you’ll find a picturesque harbour and a selection of restaurants and bars, and a fifteen minute drive from the historic town of Olbia.

Turquoise Dream

Located on Sardinia’s northeastern coast, this functional yet comfortable villa with Tyrrhenian Sea views suits a family or group of friends. The living space opens onto a covered terrace – the ideal spot for lively alfresco lunches – while downstairs, four bedrooms provide peace and quiet. If you’d like to do some exploring, Quarta Beach is a short walk from your doorstep and the heart of Golfo Aranci, reached in around five minutes by car, plays host to fantastic seafood restaurants.

Catching a glimpse of the sea views from this apartment is love at first sight. This apartment sits just a few steps from the sea, and only 200 metres from Baia Caddinas, a gentle cove with fine white sand. As if that weren’t enough, you’ll also have access to two shared swimming pools, which look out to sea. The balcony is dreamy, and where you’ll likely spend most of your time, though the rest of the home is charming too. With two bathrooms, it’s plenty big enough for four. You'll need to pay for your linen unless you plan on bringing your own. 

The Sea's Edge

With a private garden overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, this charming bungalow makes for a restful stay. The interiors are on the minimal side of things, but the space feels perfectly practical and inviting. Outside, you’ll find a dining table and barbecue to share alfresco dinners, and as night falls, you can enjoy the sunset with a glass of locally-produced Vermentino. Although there isn’t a swimming pool here, the sands of Quarta Spiaggia are just a few steps away, so after soaking up the sun, you can cool off in the crystal-clear waters. 

Sardinian Tide

Trash Compactor

The beach is on your doorstep here with the clear waters of Baia Caddinas just a two minute walk away. While the apartment may not be the most luxurious in our collection, the practical space works well for a family or two couples and you’ll have sea views from the private terrace and balcony. Further afield, the coastal town of Golfo Aranci, with its picturesque harbour and selection of bars and restaurants, is a 25 minute walk or a short drive away.

If location is king, this villa deserves to wear a crown. This seafront home is perched just above the sea that laps to shore on Quinta Spiaggia, which you can stroll to in just a few minutes. The sea views are stunning, and the home has been designed to make the most of them. A large terrace leads from the living room, so your eye is drawn to the water from almost every angle – including from the private heated swimming pool. This is a great home for a large group as there’s plenty of space. It’s also been fitted with a stair lift so can accommodate those with reduced mobility. You’ll need to pay for your linen though.

A magnificent villa with its own private beach – holidays don’t get better than that, do they? This home is something really special, with breath-taking views out to sea and a glorious terrace from which to enjoy them. For a holiday that feels like a dream, look no further. 

The villa is sunny and tranquil, with a soft colour palette that allows the view to take centre stage. The patio doors retract, merging the indoor and outdoor spaces to create that wonderful island feel. Enjoy breakfast while gazing out at the panoramic view of the bay, before taking your coffee out to one of the comfortable sofas on the terrace. Will you lie out in the sun all day, explore the area, or perhaps make the most of having your own little beach?

The fenced garden leads directly to a small sandy beach in a calm bay. The water is shallow and clear, so it’s like having your own private swimming pool. There are two stand-up paddleboards for you to use, which is a great way of exploring the coast a little further. There are plenty of beaches to explore aside from your own – why not drive seven minutes to Spiaggia dei Baracconi?

Rinse off the sand in the outdoor hot water shower, then start thinking about dinner. Maybe you’ll pop into town for some fresh seafood, or perhaps you’ll get to work in the outdoor kitchen? Fire up the barbecue for a family feast on the terrace. When the plates have been cleared, slip into the Jacuzzi to watch the sun go down.

Self Check-in / Check-out

This breezy beachside villa is where your dream family holiday begins. From the airy open-plan living area, open the sliding doors, cross your garden and step right onto the white sandy beach. The water shimmers in so many shades that you could spend eternity admiring them – when you've finished swimming or playing on the sand, the garden comes with a cold-water shower to wash off that sticky sand. The magic of this place is that you feel as if you’re always outdoors in touch with the sea, the breeze and the elements. Fire up the barbecue and savour all your meals directly on the veranda. At night, climb up to your rooftop deck from where you can count the stars and admire the view of Tavolara Island while unwinding in the hot tub. Pittolungo is so compact that you can stroll to the nearest store or restaurant, yet if you need more variety of shopping and dining, Olbia is a mere 15-minute drive away.

Courtyard

With direct path access to the Costa Smeralda’s crystal waters, this charming villa is unquestionably an idyllic retreat for a family or group of friends seeking coastal relaxation. Encompassed by luscious green lawns and breathtaking views across the Gulf of Obia, this home invites you to unwind in your picturesque surroundings. 

Inside, you'll find comforting home furnishings, colourful artworks, and a light-filled space that puts you at ease. Open up the french doors and flood the white space with a cooling sea breeze as you recline on the linen sofa with your new summer read. Walk just twenty metres down your private path to reach the dazzlingly clear water, where a spot of rock pooling might be in order, or if you seeking powdery sands, the beaches of Pellicano and Mare e Rocce are both within a ten-minute walk. Pittulongu is worth the seven-minute drive – enjoy its white bay scalloping the seafront, and indulge in the fresh seafood menu at Trattoria Rossi. 

If you’re seeking a restorative day at your villa, the cushioned seats under the pergola make for a perfect lounging spot. The outdoor dining table is the natural social setting for sharing a cold bottle of Vermentino di Gallura and a chargrilled Mediterranean dinner. When the plates have been cleared, settle into the garden chairs for panoramic sunset views. 

Paradise in Pittulongu

Featuring picturesque scenery – best viewed from the private terrace, this apartment offers a boutique hotel-like experience, with the added privacy of having your own cooking and dining facilities. While the swimming pool is shared with other guests staying in neighbouring apartments, the complex is quiet and residential and there are thirty apartments in total on-site. Separated into two buildings, three of the double-bedroom suites are located in the annexe. Meanwhile, the other two bedrooms are found alongside the living area and dining area in the main building. Additionally, the laundry room is bound to come in handy for those here on longer stays.

If you're staying in a home situated on the Sardinian coastline, it would be a crying shame if the address didn't have an outdoor spot from which to admire the majesty of the local landscape. Thankfully, this apartment in the north of the island really delivers on the front.

Not only is there a large sun terrace with 180-degree views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and Tavolara island, but there are two further verandahs with alfresco tables and a well-kept garden. There are pleasant views out through the home's windows too, which, thanks to the elevated position, also bring in lots of natural light. This asset works particularly well with the bright and contemporary design throughout, from the white walls and glossy kitchen surfaces to the rather striking head sculpture in the living space.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the local area, there's a rock beach only eighty metres from the home and the sandy Spiaggia Mare Rocce is two hundred metres' walk. There's a decent choice of restaurants in the surrounding town of Pittulongu, while you can find a wider choice, plus some archaeological ruins, in the city of Olbia, just over fifteen minutes' drive away.


Tyrrhenian Delight

Paid Parking

Fire Extinguisher

Sitting on a hill overlooking the beautiful coastline of Sardinia, this home is a hidden gem full of home comforts and with a sensational sense of outdoor living. The obvious highlight is, of course, that view – the azure water is visible from multiple corners of the home, a constant reminder that you’re in a paradisal spot next to the Tyrhennian Sea. While the bedrooms and kitchen can feel a little dated in parts, it’s all made up for with this incredible location, topped off by that brilliant vista.

Azura Bliss

Bathtub

This villa is an excellent spot in which to admire the natural beauty of Sardinia. Thanks to the home's elevated position, guests get a wonderful view of the dazzling blue waters of Porto Rotondo from the upper floors. However, don't be surprised if the paradisical garden immediately below grabs your attention, too.

Out here in among the colourful flower beds and handsome granite walls, you can while away lazy afternoons paddling about in the swimming pool, catching some rays on the loungers or cooking up a storm in the outdoor kitchen (complete with a barbecue and pizza oven).

Inside, the home is spread across four floors, so while there are plenty of stairs, it feels cool and airy, thanks to the high ceilings, stark white walls and terracotta tiling underfoot. There's a discernible rustic theme to the design, from the wicker chairs and natural-themed artwork to the large rock feature in the main entrance hall.

With the nautical location, you might not be surprised to learn that there are two beaches that can be reached in just over a quarter of an hour's walk (Spiaggia dei Sassi and di Ira), while the historic city of Olbia takes a similar amount of time to reach in the car, too. Closer to home, there are a handful of restaurants, bars and discos in the local area.

Grand Finale

Smoke Detector

Grab an authentic taste of Sardinia life with a stay at this contemporary home perched along the seafront of the bustling port town of Olbia. Its central location, set close to the town’s historic centre crammed with wine bars and a restaurant-lined plaza, will come in handy as there’s no kitchen at this home. It’s also worth noting there’s no living space to speak of. But with an impressive private balcony overlooking the island of Tavolara and the Gulf of Olbia for morning coffees and evening drinks, we don’t think you’ll mind.

Olive Heart

As if sat on the very edge of the world, this villa is in a slice of countryside and coastline that sings Sardinia’s highest praises. Gaze out at the endless sun, sea and sky from the comfort of a sun lounger. When the heat gets too much, slip into the turquoise pool, or find shade under the covered terrace. The island’s rugged hillsides loom behind the terracotta-roofed home, painting a picture of idyllic Sicillian life. Though the kitchen, living and dining area indoors has everything you need, an outdoor kitchenette with a built-in barbecue, terrace seating, and an outdoor sofa mean alfresco living is at the forefront of this home. Bagging one of the ground floor bedrooms means immediate garden access, with everything pointing to the inviting pool. If you prefer your water saline and fringed with soft sand, head down to your local beach, or drive to the harbourside shops and restaurants of Porto Rotondo or Olbia. 

Saltwater Seafront

Blooming bougainvillea frames the stunning views this Sardinian home has to offer. It’s a romantic home set in the hills above Costa Smeralda, with plenty of room for a large group. The outside space is dreamy, with lush gardens and a huge veranda – though the swimming pool is shared with the other guests on the development. You’ll need to pay for your bed and bath linens – or bring your own – and we think hiring a car is a good idea if you want to get out to see more of north east Sardinia – and with these sea views, you'll be dying to hit the beach.

Bougainvillea Kiss

Just 150 metres from the beach, this fuss-free apartment may veer towards traditional, but it's cosy, comfortable, and contains all the essentials for a relaxed getaway. Set on the first floor, there are stairs to climb here, but they'll be worth it once you see the view. The sea-facing terrace is our favourite spot – it's perfect for soaking up the coastal scenery with a glass of wine in hand. On the resort, you'll also find a shared swimming pool and an on-site restaurant for easy meals.

Shoreline Pearl

On a panoramic promontory, close to the glamour and glitz of the Costa Smeralda, this charming villa is the perfect base for exploring Sardinia’s splendid coast. The view over the Gulf of Portisco is the kind of sight we’ve been dreaming of all winter. Picture yourself soaking up the Sardinian sun beside the lagoon-like pool or gazing out over olive trees and deep blue ocean from the veranda. Inside provides a welcome respite from the heat of the midday sun, with cool terracotta floors, traditional furniture and local handicrafts. You’re 2km away from a string of white sand beaches, as well as the Marina di Portisco with its selection of waterfront restaurants. The characterful borgo of San Pantaleo is just inland and is ideal for picking up fresh produce for an Italian style feast come the evening. You’ll want to be back home before the sun goes down though, for an aperitif with a view.

Sparkling Orange

Shared Washing Machine

Perched along the coast near Golfo di Marinella, this apartment is an ideal base for small groups. The open-plan living area features a small kitchen and comfortable sofas, while the bedrooms vary in size and are suitable for families (just note that only two rooms have air conditioning). Outside, a sea-facing terrace is a perfect spot to wine and dine in the fresh air. The resort also features a shared swimming pool, open for use during the summer months, and a restaurant. When you're ready to explore, you're just 150 metres from the sea and 300 metres from the closest beach.

Marinella Mornings

Often overlooked for its showier cousin – Costa Smeralda – the authentic port town of Olbia remains relatively untouched by tourism. Discover its charms at this dazzling new apartment overlooking the waterfront and just a short walk from the town's historic centre, crammed with boutiques, wine bars and a restaurant-lined plaza. More like a hotel room than an apartment – it's important to note there's no kitchen or living area here. However, that private terrace overlooking the sea is a nice touch for morning cuppas, and there's a coffee pod machine to kickstart your days.

Incredible Mediterranean views await at this villa located in the village of Cugnana, just 13 kilometres from the city of Olbia. With a panoramic patio complete with outdoor seating and a sparkling infinity pool, you’ll find yourself whiling away sunny days taking dips in its waters and soaking up the far-reaching vistas in complete relaxation. The pair of living areas across the home’s two floors means it’s perfect for groups looking for a bit of autonomy, and while bed linens and towels aren’t included here, we’re willing to overlook this for its fabulous locale and picture-perfect views. Elsewhere away from home, the crystal-blue waters of Golfo Aranci are 15 kilometres away and the beach of Liscia Ruja – one of the jewels of the Costa Smeralda – is 14 kilometres. 


Infinite Turquoise

Sweeping sea and mountain views take centre stage at this apartment in the authentic port town of Olbia. Set just moment's from the seafront promenade for sunset strolls, and with the historic centre's wine bars and restaurant-lined plaza just a short walk away – the location is bang-on. Fancy a beach day? There are miles of uncrowded sandy coves just a short drive up the coast. Part of a new-build apartment building, the home's pared-back design may feel a little characterless for some. It's also worth noting there's no kitchen or living room facilities here. However, that sea-facing balcony helps to make up for that.

To The Sea & Back

Looking for a smart crash pad in Olbia’s bustling centre? This sea-facing home should do nicely. Granted, the interiors aren’t the most characterful, and there’s no kitchen or living space to speak of, but the private balcony is a nice touch for morning brews (and the coffee pod machine can help with those). Location-wise, you’ve got the best of this bustling port city at your feet. Grab a dose of sea air along the promenade right outside your door, and when thoughts turn to food, head to the old town’s restaurant-lined plaza for the freshest seafood imaginable. Fancy a beach day? There are miles of uncrowded sandy coves waiting just a short drive away.

Sole Mare

Pool / Snooker Table

Switch off and experience the beauty of Sardinia at this home in Punta Molara. Despite lacking wi-fi, the dappled veranda and private swimming pool will be a welcome distraction. The views are pretty great, too – and the alfresco dining table and outdoor sofa are perfect places to enjoy them. All the bedrooms are a good size – one is even located on the lower level with its own entrance – but you'll need to pay for bed linen and towels or bring your own. As for location, Cala Ginepro's crystal-clear waters and pebbled beach are 800 metres away, while the city of Olbia and its many cafe-flanked piazzas is a 12-kilometre drive. 

Vervain In Bloom

Base yourself along the Sardinian coast at this smart apartment set in the authentic port town of Olbia. While the sea-facing balcony overlooking the island of Tavolara and the Gulf of Olbia is impressive, it's important to note that this home has no kitchen or living area. But with the best of Olbia's restaurants just a short walk away for the freshest seafood imaginable, we suspect you'll eat out a lot anyway. And there's an all-important coffee pod machine to kick-start your day. Fancy a beach day? There are miles of uncrowded sandy coves just a short drive up the coast.

Perched above Porto Rotondo in a private five-thousand square metres of ancient trees and granite monoliths, this is an exceptional Sardinian retreat for large groups. A modern design built around a historic villa, it features a main house and five scattered villas, a stunning blend of architecture and nature. Enjoy the outdoor fitness area, soak in panoramic views from the infinity pool, and dine together in one of the covered verandas. There's more than enough to do here, but if you feel like exploring, the lively town square is only five hundred metres away. 

The Ocean Jewel

Tucked into the foothills of the Sardinian mountains, this farmhouse estate feels blissfully remote – yet the white sands of Marinella Beach are just a six-kilometre drive away. Made up of two separate homes set 50 metres apart and sharing nearly two acres of gardens, it's prime for two families holidaying together. Each house has its own kitchen, dining, and living space, giving everyone space to spill out. But when it’s time to get together, the private pool is the perfect gathering spot to soak up those distant sea and mountain views. And don’t get us started on the vistas at sunset – that’s a memory made right there.

Sea Green View

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this home's stunning panoramas. Set in the pretty village of San Pantaleo, you'll have a bird's eye view of the surrounding stone buildings and granite mountains. The terrace is the best vantage point, where you can savour a glass of local wine as the sun goes down. Inside, the design is contemporary, but it lacks a bit of charm. With comfortable bedrooms (though you’ll have to pay for linen) and a breezy living area, everyone can spread out and get cosy. When you're ready to explore, head to Arzachena, 10 kilometres away, or make the short drive to the area's beaches.

Sun Umbrellas

An oasis hidden in the rocky region of Gallura, this remarkable villa sits on 12,000 square metres of private grounds. The cool, flowing main building contains five bedrooms, several living areas and a kitted out kitchen across three floors, including a basement. While the interior is perfectly accommodating, it's the grounds that truly elevate this home – settle in for a long enough stay, and you can swim in the clover-shaped pool, play tennis on a private court, shoot some alfresco billiards, dine under the stars, practice your free kicks on the football pitch, or simply take a very long lap of the garden. Should you fancy a change of scene, Portisco on the Sardinian coast is around a ten minute drive away.

Villa Gallura

The view from this villa is simply stunning. From every angle in the garden, your eye is drawn to the Gulf of Pevero, and to the lush scenery of this Emerald Coast home. The private infinity pool and outdoor lounge are undoubtedly the stars of the show here, but the interior has plenty of appeal too. Kids will love the cinema area, and the gym is handy too. The fine white sand and turquoise waters of Porto Paglia beach are just a short distance away. You’ll need to pay extra for towels and bed linen. 

The Palazzo Retreat

Designed by architect Cini Boeri, this wonderfully unique home in Sardinia is tilted forward to better show off the panoramic views of its incredible surroundings. Created to make the most of indoor-outdoor living, it's also cleverly constructed to keep the south-facing areas cool and shaded, shielding your from the heat of the Sardinian sun. While the stark grey facade and sharply angled lines make a breathtaking first impression, we think the interiors speak for themselves too. We love how the architect decided to show off the incredible landscape of La Maddalena by creating a picture frame out of every window – each one set at the exact right height to maximise the impact. There’s even a telescope in the study so you can explore the area from the comfort of your own home, or go full Rear Window and see what your neighbours are up to down in the harbour. The muted grey tones of the exterior are mirrored in the contemporary kitchen, while the dining room is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows offering the best views in the house. Outside, you’ll find a wooden deck that’s perfect for morning coffees, evening cocktails, and everything in between.

Rock of Ages

Located in Porto Istana, on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, this terracotta-toned home is a slice of botanical beauty with its palm and cactus-filled garden and its idyllic coastal setting. 

Inside, exposed beams, Provençal yellow walls, comfortable furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows create a warm welcome in the living room, which gives way to the shaded patio area outside. Make yourself comfortable on the outdoor wicker sofa or stake your claim on one of the garden-facing sun loungers to soak up some rays. 

When you’re not spending time in your private oasis, sandy Porto Istana beach is just a five-minute drive away. Olbia’s palm-lined waterfront is also within easy reach in less than twenty minutes, where boutiques, wine bars and cafe-rimmed piazzas wait to be explored. After a day at the beach or sightseeing, come back home for cocktails in the garden, followed by an alfresco barbecue dinner of dreams.

Garden Of Plenty

You’ll find this unfussy villa in northeast Sardinia, around 500 metres from Le Saline Beach and 11 kilometres from the city of Olbia, home to the medieval San Simplicio basilica and a palm-fringed waterfront. Back at the abode, two living areas provide plenty of space for the whole group to stretch out and the garden is the ideal spot to relax in the sunshine or shade. Granted, there’s no swimming pool here, but with the coast so easily accessible we don’t think you’ll mind too much.
