As if sat on the very edge of the world, this villa is in a slice of countryside and coastline that sings Sardinia’s highest praises. Gaze out at the endless sun, sea and sky from the comfort of a sun lounger. When the heat gets too much, slip into the turquoise pool, or find shade under the covered terrace. The island’s rugged hillsides loom behind the terracotta-roofed home, painting a picture of idyllic Sicillian life. Though the kitchen, living and dining area indoors has everything you need, an outdoor kitchenette with a built-in barbecue, terrace seating, and an outdoor sofa mean alfresco living is at the forefront of this home. Bagging one of the ground floor bedrooms means immediate garden access, with everything pointing to the inviting pool. If you prefer your water saline and fringed with soft sand, head down to your local beach, or drive to the harbourside shops and restaurants of Porto Rotondo or Olbia.
