Architect-designed villa, spectacular sea views, pool

A Savin Couëlle designed villa set high on a hill overlooking Pitrizza Bay, the National Marine Park of La Maddalena and Corsica in the distance. In front of the villa is a secluded garden surrounded by oleander and olive trees while at the rear of the property is a private terrace, garden and small, kidney-shaped pool. The main level of the house consists of a living room, front terrace with expansive sea views, kitchen, guest WC and rear terrace with covered dining area and small gas grill. The lower level includes a large double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with en-suite toilet and showers. The twin bedroom has French doors leading to a patio and front garden.

The nearest beach is a 15 minute walk (2 minute drive).

Fantastic holiday at Volpaia
A truly stunning location- the villa has amazing views and is very comfortable and well equipped . Lovely quiet residential area with a local beach just 10 minutes walk away. Excellent choice of restaurants within walking distance. We couldn’t have asked for more and had a really lovely holiday. Thank you to Michael for being so helpful and responding to my queries so quickly. We loved it!!!! Highly recommend!

Stunning villa, surroundings and location
First stay in Sardinia and we were so lucky to stay at Villa Volpaia. We are a family of 4 (incl. grown up daughter's boyfriends). We found the villa to be charming (on a level that is difficult to describe) with a lay-out of rooms that fit our family perfectly. (3 separate bedrooms with walk-in bathrooms). The lay-out of the villa allowed us to spend time together but also find a private spot when that was needed. The villa is truly unique. The architecture is very charming, and the interior decoration is full of charming details that continues to reveal itself during the stay. The villa contains everything you need when on holiday: Good tips for where to shop, buy groceries, which beach to visit, dining out (do try the pizzaria on the corner and the agriturismo). The list is long:-) In terms of what you need in the kitchen, you are all good to go - from coffee bean grinder to cooling box :-). So... the villa (and Sardinia) comes with our highest recommendation and we hope to be able to return one day. /charlotte

Beautiful villa with privacy
The property is really beautiful, very private, with breathtaking and stunning views over the bay from living room, master bedroom and 2 terraces. It reminds me with design style a Casa Batllo in Barcelona, e.g. organic irregular or round shapes of the walls and windows...amazing :) Nice small beach (Liscia Rene) 4 minutes by car (through Via Nibani). The check-in/out was smooth (with local person Mr. Bruno, he speaks also English and German). We got all instructions about the villa, neighborhood and recommendations for the places to visit prior to our arrival from the owner Michael via vrbo messanger. Excellent restaurant La Briciola is literally few steps from the property. Few minutes walking you will find another perfect restaurant Spinaker, with cafe&bar. The shop is next door to Spinaker, but within 10 min driving you have few other supermarkets. Excellent location for the trips (e.g. Capo d`Orso, town Palau, snorkeling boat trip around Island Caprera from Poltu Quatu with guys from Orso Diving Center etc). We had such unforgettable 9 days. Highly recommended! I would suggest a small tip for the owner for the improvement: download speed and quality of wi-fi connection. Personally, I would not mind as an adult, but when you travel with 3 teenagers, it really matters.

Fabulous villa with stunning views.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa - the views were breathtaking and the location excellent for many beautiful beaches. The villa felt very homely and we loved its individual, quirky design. We would highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by MD Francis

Host profile image
My wife spent several summers in the Costa Smeralda as a child in the 1970s. She came back in the 1990s and together we fell in love with the beaches and unique charm of the area. We purchased the villa for family holidays but only use it a few weeks a year. We wanted to share our home with guests, and hope they can relax and enjoy it like we do.

Why they chose this property

Savin Couëlle's unique architectural style shines through in this little jewel of a villa in Liscia di Vacca. Its quirky, organic shapes, its well-designed layout that maximizes the villa's hilltop location, and wonderfully private location all make this villa a truly unique experience. Original ferro-battuto metalwork and Cerasarda tiling add to the quintessential Costa Smeralda style of the villa.

Note, the villa is unlikely to suit visitors looking for super hip, modern style. The villa lacks contemporary art, a high-definition big screen television, Sonos sound system and hot tub. Its furnishing are mostly traditional Sardinia fabrics, basketwork and wood carvings.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the villa primarily for 3 reasons. First, its organic architecture is wonderfully sympathetic to the environment. Second, the villa's location is incredibly private yet we can walk to restaurants, cafes and a supermarket. No driving needed for good espresso, gelato, superb evening meal or pint of milk. Beaches are close by, although we recommend hiring a car to access the many beaches in the area. Third, the villa is a much-loved family place, relaxed and unpretentious, where parents with children are welcome. Having been used by our family for over 20 years, we're delighted to welcome guests to the villa's unique charm and personality.
