Located in Porto Istana, on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, this terracotta-toned home is a slice of botanical beauty with its palm and cactus-filled garden and its idyllic coastal setting. Inside, exposed beams, Provençal yellow walls, comfortable furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows create a warm welcome in the living room, which gives way to the shaded patio area outside. Make yourself comfortable on the outdoor wicker sofa or stake your claim on one of the garden-facing sun loungers to soak up some rays. When you’re not spending time in your private oasis, sandy Porto Istana beach is just a five-minute drive away. Olbia’s palm-lined waterfront is also within easy reach in less than twenty minutes, where boutiques, wine bars and cafe-rimmed piazzas wait to be explored. After a day at the beach or sightseeing, come back home for cocktails in the garden, followed by an alfresco barbecue dinner of dreams.
