Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A stay at this hillside villa puts you in a great spot to enjoy one of northern Sardinia's best beaches. Porto Istana is a thirty-minute walk (or five-minute drive) from your front door, a stunning stretch of sand with incredible views of Tavolara Island. Those views follow you home, where a glass-fronted solarium and rooftop hot tub offer equally stunning panoramas. Two of the bedrooms offer direct access to the lush garden, which offers privacy and shade for family barbecues and boules – and four-legged friends are welcome to join you, too. You'll find a few local restaurants and shops in nearby Murta Maria, but Olbia is also an easy drive away for day trips.
