This is your chance to rent this exclusive Sardinian family villa, located in a quiet bay on the edge of the sought-after Costa Smeralda region of this beautiful Mediterranean island. Set in a sleepy bay beside Porto Istana, a 15 minute drive from the port town of Olbia in Sardinia's Costa Smeralda region, this traditional family villa sits in approximately two thirds of an acre of grounds and is the perfect, private getaway for a nice, long and relaxing break. The garden stretches right down to the beach from where you get stunning views of the bay, or if you wish you can simply climb the rocks behind the house and watch the sun set over the islands. The location and character of this villa make it truly unique and a special way to spend a week with your family or friends. See our website for more photos and details.

Notes on accommodation
There is an air-conditioning/heating unit in each bedroom, should you require them.
The property is ideal for families, as the beach is at the bottom of the garden so there is no need to travel to get there! There is also little (e.g. practically no) traffic!
Accessibility
Living space and terrace is without steps and access to the beach is step-free, however there are two steps up to bedrooms 2 and 3, a step down in to bedroom 1 and a step up in to the kitchen - the en-suite bathroom in bedroom 1 has step-free access from the bedroom itself and is spacious.
Outside
This property is very private, in approximately two thirds of an acre of private gardens at front and behind. Mature shrubs and trees mask the house from people on the beach and it is set well away from the nearest public road and other houses. There are stunning views from the rocks within the gardens to the rear of the house, and the garden path takes you directly on to a quiet sandy bay. There are garden chairs and a table provided, as well as an outdoor shower and utility room with spare fridge and washing machine.
Coast/Beach
The villa is literally on the beach!
Golf

Special interest holidays
Diving is very popular and there is an excellent diving centre at Porto San Paulo, across the bay (about a 15 minute drive).
Tennis courts and football pitches are available at the nearby Park Hotel, as well as sailing and windsurfing from the main beach in the bay during summer. The whole east coast of Sardinia offers some excellent spots for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Those willing to travel can take their pick of the beaches, but the nearby beaches of Le Saline and Murta Maria, in the next bay north, are renowned for the brilliant windsurfing and kitesurfing conditions. Le Saline boasts a windsurfing school and both are between 10 and 20 minutes from the villa by car.
