Villa of the Month - Villa Volpe, Porto Rotondo

Villa Volpe in Porto Rotondo


A prerequisite for any property in our Sardinia villa collection is that it has to be somewhere we ourselves would like to stay with our own family and friends... but we can't help but have our favourites. Those villas you dream about, that come to mind first when you imagine your dream holiday. Villa Volpe ticks all of our boxes for the perfect Sardinia retreat.




The vital ingredient for any holiday in Sardinia has to be the sparkling blue Mediterranean sea and you couldn't get any closer to it than at Villa Volpe. Built on the tip of a small peninsula in Porto Rotondo, the villa's unique selling point is the direct sea access from all sides. The sandy beach at Punta Volpe can be accessed through a rustic wooden gate from the villa grounds, and there's even a sandy stretch inside the gate with sun loungers, a changing room and an alfresco shower so you have your own private piece of Mediterranean beach.

The stunning salt water infinity swimming pool is a new addition for the 2014 season and is the perfect place to relax, enjoy the view over the sea and check out the luxury yachts as they glide by.

Another new addition for summer 2014 is the luxury guesthouse poolside, again with views over the pool to the sea, a living area with fireplace, a double bedroom with French doors to the pool area and a luxury bathroom. There are five other bedroom suites spread over the main villa and a further two guesthouses so there's plenty of space for your nearest and dearest.

The villa was designed by the godfather of Sardinian architecture, Savin Couelle and you can see his love of natural local building materials in the stones and wood beams. The main living area boasts vaulted ceilings and huge windows from which to admire the sea views and even houses a unique indoor wood burning pizza oven.

Maid service is included in the cost of the villa as is our complimentary concierge service, and you can view the full details of Villa Volpe at the link below

Villa of the Month - Villa Orchidea

Although most of Sardinia is very laid back and relaxed holiday destination, the Costa Smeralda and especially Porto Cervo are famous the world over for being attracting the rich and famous. Gwyneth Paltrow, Steven Spielberg, Richard Gere, Naomi Campbell, Rihanna, Paris Hilton and just about every footballer you care to think are just a few of those who spent their summer holidays here last year.

So if you're really looking for a taste of the Sardinian high life, Villa Orchidea is the property for you. We do try not to have favorites, but this villa has it all; breathtaking views, opulent furnishings, gorgeous gardens and total privacy, all within a stones-throw of the boutiques and nightlife of Porto Cervo.

Set between Cala di Volpe and the famous Pevero golf course, the location just doesn't get any better than this; you're right in the heart of one of the Mediterranean's most exclusive spots. Chill out by the pool and enjoy the views over the countryside to the blue, blue Mediterranean sea. The gorgeous Hotel Cala di Volpe (one of the most expensive in the world), designed by the godfather of Sardinian architecture, Couelle, is far below you and completes the unique views.

Inside, the décor is divine; quirky ornaments, colorful coffee-table books and world globes adorn every corner of the villa and the overall feel is of effortless elegance. Each of the four bedroom suites are individually and tastefully decorated, whilst the living and dining areas are the essence of taste and charm.

The interiors and exteriors of the property blend seamlessly into each other thanks to the full-length glass doors in almost every room. The mature gardens are immaculately maintained and full of exotic plants such as bougainvillea, bamboo, Bird of Paradise, banana trees and olives. Due to the privileged hillside location, Villa Orchidea is a secluded property and guests will find the tranquil location totally relaxing.

As well as the private swimming pool, guests can relax on the rooftop solarium; the perfect place to enjoy sunset aperitivi whilst lounging in the jacuzzi. The covered outdoor living and dining area is furnished with comfy white sofas so you can chill out while dinner sizzles away on the huge barbeque.
