This a Sardinian villa in every respect: curving architecture, whitewash, pink exterior, enormously comfortable and designed to fully enjoy the unspoilt outdoors. It’s a four minute walk to Cala Caterina, a small, glorious and exclusive bay, with white sandy protected beaches and tropical water, accessed primarily only by the surrounding villas via a four minute walk. Behind it is the smart holiday resort Villasimius: 3,000 inhabitants, luxury shops and restaurants, a modern marina able to take large sailing yachts and an 18 hole golf course with sea views.

There are 4 bedrooms with three bathrooms, but pride of place goes to the large living rooms, with French windows opening out onto crescent shaped verandas overlooking the bay. A Mediterranean garden, a fireplace and separate kitchen complete the practical luxury of this villa.

Despite its closeness to the water, one might want to put in a pool next to the veranda facing the sea. This would add a special luxury and could be easily accomplished.
