In the rolling hills of Miata, on Italy’s island gem of Sardinia, is a spectacular villa surrounded by greenery, which overlooks the shimmering azure ocean. From the glorious pool, the new owner and plenty of guests can laze under the Italian sun and admire the views that sparkle, no matter the season.
The interior of the main building is open plan, with full-sized windows and patio doors to let all the space wash with Sardinian light. The sitting, dining and cooking areas flow together logically and the space contains eye-catching design flourishes that will impress all those who move through it.
The luxurious kitchen has direct access to an outdoor cooking area with a barbeque, but inside the chef will find all the equipment and fittings needed, included a wood-fired oven built by master bakers in addition to more modern ovens and hobs, with a cellar for storing the wine.
That said, you’ll find it hard to not want to take your meals outside at one of the various seating areas around the swimming pool. There are a number of these, both shaded and uncovered, to suit the temperatures and your sun tolerance. The view will always be magnificent.
In terms of sleeping quarters, the palatial master suite is accessed straight off the lounge and provides plenty of space for seating and dressing areas. There is a gloriously-designed en-suite bathroom attached and the windows deliver that same magnificent view. It’s worth getting out of bed for..
There are a further five bedrooms spread across the main house, all of which could earn the title of ‘suite’ courtesy of their space and the contemporary bathrooms that accompany them. They all have direct access to an outside terrace and provide comfortable privacy in what could be a busy house.
In addition to the main villa, this estate also has a separate building named La Torre, which has been renovated into a guest house. Within this striking structure (it has been completed renovated for luxury living with some historic touches) can be found the final two bedrooms with their respective bathrooms. Could this be let out? Or you may prefer to offer your guests the complete privacy of their own house when they come to stay – and they will come!
Back in the main building, drop down to the lower ground to find a modern gym and a library large enough to contain a sizeable meeting table. This latter space could easily be turned to different uses, depending on the owners’ interests.
The villa sits within a 6,300 sq m private park that is dotted with carefully selected plants to ensure the park thrives in this part of the island, considering the climate. The villa’s positioning in the hills ensures the sea views are impressive from every corner of the house and grounds, and it manages to combine a sense of solitude with proximity to the necessary amenities to make this the ideal place to make more than just a holiday home.
The villa is in Porto Cervo, one of Sardinia’s northern seaside resorts that has established itself as an exclusive location for the wealthiest Italian holidaymakers. There are luxury spas, world-class restaurants, designer boutiques as well as bars and cafes within easy reach of the house.
The closest airport is Olbia, around 32 km away, and the villa is well-positioned for taking visitors to see some key tourist sites. It’s 3 km from the nuragic complex of Albucciu, 6 km from the tomb of the giants of Li Lolghi, and 9 km from the Cannigione beach.
