When it comes to luxury homes in Italy, there are many options to choose from, depending on your taste. From rustic manors in Tuscany to artsy apartments in Florence, the country has no lack of luxury properties, and without a doubt one of the prime locations in this market is the Costa Smeralda on the island of Sardinia, the location for this week's property; a breathtaking villa just outside Porto Cervo. Only a few minutes from the centre of town the villa has easy access to all of the local amenities, from the marina, to the golf club, to the spectacular beaches up and down the coast.
The villa is built over two floors, with a total of 430m2 of built space on offer, plus an incredibly spacious garden area, also spread over two levels. The villa has four large bedrooms and a total of five bathrooms and everything is beautifully finished to the highest quality, and the property has a gorgeous swimming pool in the gardens.
On the main floor of the villa, the primary space is given over to the enormous open plan living room. This room, flooded with natural light from the floor to ceiling windows on multiple sides, and sparsely but elegantly furnished, is an incredibly comfortable space, made even more inviting by the beautiful fireplace. This room also has a large dining table to one end, and on the opposite end leads smoothly into the sleek modern kitchen, finished in black with an enormous amount of space between the countertops and the island. The kitchen leads out to a vast covered terrace with a barbecue area and to the pool.
The master suite is also located on the main floor, away from the other bedrooms for an added layer of privacy. The bedroom has its own walk-in-closet and a large en suite bathroom, complete with "his and hers" sinks. The remaining three three bedrooms are all located on the lower level, and all come with en suite bathrooms. In addition the villa has a long balcony with glass railings overlooking the garden, from which you can enjoy a view of the Mediterranean Sea.
This villa is a truly stunning property in one of the most desireable regions in all of Italy. If you are interested in living a priveledged life on the Costa Smeralda, then you need look no further than this property. The villa is currently for sale on idealista for 7,400,000 euros.
