Sardinia’s coastal regions feature some of the Mediterranean’s most pristine beaches and clearest waters. While vibrant port towns and quaint villages pepper the island, the natural world dominates. It's a sensory experience of bright colours and scents of wild herbs and flowers – and even better, you can experience it all from home. Surrounded by tall, swaying trees and verdant lawns, you might be surprised that this resort is only a seven-minute walk from Pitrizza Beach. But rather than wild swimming, you can take a dip in one of the two outdoor pools (or sip chilled white wine at the poolside). It’s a true delight to wander through its vast gardens, taking in fresh fragrances and listening to the birds chirp in the afternoon sun. As you arrive at the villa you can call home, you’ll love the stone walls and terracotta roof tiles – very traditional. Inside the apartment, timber beams on the ceiling offer another rustic element, painted in an elegant cream to bring the space up to date. While a calming cream-and-white colour scheme continues throughout, the homely, floral bedspread is a final nod to nature. Pure bliss.
