Staggeringly beautiful and truly unique, this home is out of this world. Designed to act as a guiding light to boats at sea, this fully operational lighthouse dates back to 1850 and is thought to be the only Italian lighthouse to offer accommodation. Here you'll be nestled above the rocky cliffs at the very southern tip of Sardinia, with hotel-like services and modern luxuries. The adventure begins as you approach the home down unmade roads, where a Humvee will be waiting to ferry you to your destination. Perfectly secluded and surrounded by spectacular panoramic sea views, this place has been thoughtfully converted to create the dream escape from reality. The main building is set over four floors, with the lantern and its glass enclosures stealing the show at the top, while the rooms below mix rustic features like the open fireplace, timber ceilings and exposed rock with chic, modern furnishings. A neutral palette keeps everything calm and sophisticated, and there are some surprising touches like the round hanging beds. Make the most of the chef provided and keep well away from the kitchen, while you enjoy the blissful outside space. Out here you'll find plenty of peaceful spots to read on the...

Home truths

    A chef and maid service are included, as are transfers to local beaches

    The final leg of access to the villa is a long unpaved road – although a courtesy US Humvee is available to act as a shuttle, if you're hiring a car we suggest you choose a sturdy vehicle

    Set over four floors, it's not for you if you're trying to avoid stairs

    This home is quite secluded, which is why transfers to local beaches are included – the nearest shops are some fifteen minutes away by car, in Chia

But it’s pretty hard to take your eyes off the crystal clear waters of the Med, in secluded coves, lapping at swathes of sand and crashing along the rugged coastal cliffs. Sardinians are right though, there is more. The island’s main hub, Cagliari, is packed with buzzing restaurants, art galleries, and archaeological sites. The narrow streets...

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
