Gumtrees - Beautiful Villa with Stunning Views and Living Space
Tranquil Location, 10 mins Drive to Beaches, Eco-Friendly
2 and 3 Bedroom Apartments
|
|
Located on a hillside, overlooking a well known wine-producing valley in Pelau, Sardinia. This newly built property benefits from beautiful views on all sides and is a haven of tranquillity for any holidaymaker. The property is extremely spacious with large open plan living spaces and open terraces for most rooms. The property has been designed with the sun in mind - cool in summer but well lit and bright in the winter months. As we have a strong interest in being as eco-friendly as possible, the building has a number of features to try and minimise its impact on the environment. Property comprises 2 and 3 bedroom apartments that can also be rented as a 5 bedroom villa.

Notes on accommodation
The property has been designed with the summer sun in mind. We have shutters and shaded balconies and rooms, plus dual aspect rooms to encourage ventilation. There is air conditioning available in all rooms but this should not be needed - although it can be used for heating in winter.
Towels and linen included (including beach towels). Towels and linen changed weekly and apartment cleaned weekly.
There is a one-off cleaning charge per stay.
Eco-wise the property has solar heated water, good wall and roof insulation, rainwater storage tanks which are used for toilet water supply, a 3kw solar electric generating facility on the roof and A or A+ rated appliances in the kitchens and laundries, plus dishwashers and washing machines that use water efficiently.
Accessibility
The villa is not suitable for anyone who cannot use stairs easily.
Outside
The villa features beautiful terraces on both levels with views in all directions. There are relaxing loungers and tables and chairs for al fresco dining. The garden is relatively new but there are a number of fig, almond and citrus trees on the property.
Coast/Beach
The local beaches (10 mins drive) are well known for their crystal clear water and long sandy stretches. Slightly further afield there are a large number of possible beach destinations - including extremely secluded beaches accessible by foot and gently sloping beaches for those with young children.
You can view some good pictures of the nearby coastline - type 'Museddu' into Google Earth.
Travel
1 hour 45 minutes from Cagliari (100km).
2 hours from Olbia (200km).
3 hours from Alghero.
Car hire essential as for anywhere in Sardegna.
Daily flights during April-September are available with Easyjet (Cagliari and Olbia) and BA (Cagliari). Ryanair fly to Alghero but this is a fair drive. Charter airlines also fly to Sardinia in summer - Meridiana is the standard one but best to check specifically.
Distances
Local shops are in the village of Cardedu, a 5-10 minute drive away.
Further details
There are 2 excellent, informal restaurants in the valley within a 2 minute drive or a pleasant 20 minute walk. Numerous other restaurants in nearby villages or by the beach.
Depending on the season there a number of activities possible. In summer the beach rules and there are boat trips up the coast, plus scuba diving and kayaking available. Authentic Italian ice cream is available in a number of places but Tortoli is our favourite.
There are some beautiful local spots such as Santa Maria Navarrese and a drive up through the local mountains reveals some stunning views and excellent walking opportunities. There are some lovely limestone caves in nearby Ulassai which are lovely and cool in the summer months and have guided tours.
The cantina in Jerzu is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys wine and if you come at the end of September you can witness or take part in the local grape harvest.
In the cooler months hiking and rock-climbing in the hills and mountains are extremely popular and getting out and seeing some of the local produce up close is great fun.
We also highly recommend falling asleep on the veranda.
Sportswise we have a newly resurfaced tennis court available 1km away which is free of charge.
Booking notes
Please email Romano or telephone him. See details below. A 20% deposit is required at the time of booking with the balance being paid in full at least four weeks before departure.

Guest comments
'What a wonderful place to stay and to forget the rest of the world: peaceful, friendly and relaxing. When we arrived we felt that we had arrived at the wrong place, such was the high standard of the spacious villa along with its spectacular views across the wonderful, rugged and mountainous landscape. If there was one thing I would say and that is to make sure people know about the wonderful and undeveloped coastline and beaches in and around Marina di Cardedu!' W and N Thomas, May 2008.
'We thought the villa was wonderful and miss waking up to the panoramic views and the bird song. We thought Sardinia was captivating and continually tell people of the way everyone was so friendly and helpful despite the language difference.' D Macgregor, June 2008
'The house was perfect and everything that we had hoped for for a relaxing week in the stunning surroundings.' A. Merker Aug 2008
