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.


The Olive Jam

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.

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.

Drinks by the marina, lounging on the beach, or maybe a boat trip to discover secluded bays – whatever’s on your Olbia itinerary, this apartment is a great place to base yourself. If four of you are staying, it might feel a little cosy when the sofa bed is set up. And the compact kitchen is probably best suited to simple meals or snacks – but with so many excellent eateries on your doorstep, that won’t be a problem. Your host will even provide beach towels and a parasol, making beach days a breeze. For a comfortable stay in a contemporary building, a short stroll from the centre of town, this small yet stylish spot is a winner.

Shades of Olbia

Balcony / Patio

Located in the historic centre of Olbia, this apartment boasts sea views from the private terrace. You’re in the penthouse here – and there isn’t a lift – so you'll need to climb stairs to reach the home on the third floor. While that won’t suit everyone, we think it’s worth the trek for a view like that. The home centres around a sociable open-plan living area – which will also be the bedroom for guests five and six when the home is at full occupancy. Location-wise, you’re within walking distance of the vibrant old town, the seafront, shops, and restaurants, and a ten-minute drive from the nearest beaches.

Rooftop Terrace

Set in the heart of historic Olbia, this apartment is in a fantastic location. Within walking distance you’ll find boutiques, bars, and restaurants, as well as the pretty marina.

After a day spent exploring, you’ll love unwinding with a glass of something cold on the terrace, which offers glimpses of the sea. There’s no lift here and a few stairs to navigate, and it might feel a little compact if the sofa bed is in use, but overall it’s a great place to stay when you want to see more of this idyllic island.

Views Over Olbia

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Ocean Jewel

Jacuzzi

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.

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.
