Sardinian villa surrounded by nature, incomparable view of Porto Istana bay


Typical Sardinian villa immersed in the quietness and scents of the Mediterranean scrub, characterized by a wonderful belvedere terrace from which you have the feeling of being one with the sea.

From the large and comfortable sofa that dominates the front porch of the house, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the islands of Tavolara and Molara, while, seated at the typical granite table placed in the back porch, you can savor the beauty of the Mediterranean scrub inserted in huge rocks of Sardinian granite.
The presence of the two porches ensures that you always have an outdoor place sheltered from the wind, whether it blows mistral or scirocco.

Main Villa:
The project recovered an old rural building using typical Sardinian materials and colors, while maintaining its sober character.
Its elevated position guarantees, even in the height of summer, pleasant breezes that refresh the air.

Entering there is a living space characterized by the presence of a fireplace and an immense window that allows you to admire the magnificent view even from inside the house.

The living room leads to the dining area, equipped with a table that seats 8 people, and to the kitchen, which has a refrigerator with freezer, induction hob, electric oven, microwave oven, and dishwasher.

From the kitchen you exit onto the back porch equipped with a nice granite dining table, a gas stove top, and a small sink. In this area is also located, inside a cabinet, the washing machine.
In a brick niche outside the house there is a very convenient outdoor shower, equipped with hot water, from which the sea can be seen.

In the Villa there is a double bedroom with its own bathroom, and 2 single bedrooms with a second bathroom at their disposal.

There is wifi and an air conditioning system to cool the summer and heat the air in the middle or winter season.

Dependance:
Below the terrace is a delightful dependance with bathroom, equipped with a comfortable double bed and characterized by two large windows overlooking the garden, underneath which are two sofas that can become two beds in the case of a couple with small children .
Outside there is a small reserved area with a sun shower and deck chairs.

The villa is located on one of the most picturesque bays in all of Sardinia, Porto Istana, a few kilometers south of Olbia, about 10 minutes from the Costa Smeralda airport and 20 minutes from the port of Olbia.
It is located within the Tavolara Marine Park, a large marine protected area surrounded by beautiful white beaches, and overlooks the impressive island of Tavolara, and the islands of Molara, Isola Piana and other smaller islands.

It fits into an extensive property area, in a predominant and very quiet position. The garden is characterized by typical local vegetation, with many trees and granite rocks.

Several beaches can be reached from the property, with a walk of about 10-15 minutes.
On the main road, about a couple of kilometers away, in the direction of Murta Maria, we find a well-stocked supermarket with an excellent delicatessen and butcher's shop with local meats, a fishmonger's shop where you can also eat, the newsagent's, a delicious ice cream shop, pizzerias and various restaurants where you can enjoy typical and non-typical specialties, sushi, meat (a churreria has recently opened), etc.

A piece of paradise
Firstly I would like to thank Simona and Michelangelo for sharing their stunning property. The photos don't do the property justice. The house is traditional, it is decorated with style and with complete comfort in mind. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with the option of an outdoor kitchen to make meals. There are three places to dine which is perfect to have either a shady lunch or dinner with a view of the sea. The bedrooms are all well appointment and beds are very comfortable. We spent most of the days on the veranda which has sitting for everyone, and the view across the bay with stunning. There is a hidden away hammock for a quiet read. My husband and I have stayed at many villas across the years with our family, and this one has to go down as one of the best. Thank you for much again, and we will definitely be back.

We loved this place and it’s spectacular setting
This was a wonderful Sardinian escape. The view from the home is spectacular and so peaceful. The home has lots of nice places to sit and gather if you’re traveling with a group. We loved everything about it. The decor is impeccable. It’s obvious that the owners have put a lot of time and effort into decorating the home and it feels like a really warm rustic Sardinian retreat. The gardens and flowers were really beautiful as well as the outdoor seating. At night the moon reflects off the sea and it is so quiet and restful. The beach was approximately 15 minute walk and the beach is spectacular

Fantastic View-Green, mediterranean, blue waters, islands - and two great places to enjoy this view
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Simona was there personal to show us the house. Pasta, Sauce, Wine and Beer was there for the first evening. No need for shoping. Very cosy, individual, house with lots of little details to discover. We never had so many glases, plates and cutlery in a rental house. And beautiful items, no Ikea stuff. It is very clear, that this house is used by the owners as well and is not designed for rental only. Very clean and..... it smells very good. After wood, herbs, nature. Extremely quiet as well (apart from the occasionally barks of dogs, never at night, and always stoping after a few mintes), no traffic sounds. Actually one very quiet morning i noticed a traffic sound. I could hear the engine of a boat, which was about 5 kilometers from the house. leaving its anchorage. It was so quiet, that i heard this boat over such a distance. The garden and the views are fantastic, and the covered lounge area is absolutely great. Best views are from the front porch (former pool?). It was an very, very nice experience to stay in this house. We will defintetly return! Thanks Simona e Michelangelo (Our high expectations, when learning the names of the owner, were fully met)

Huiseigenaar was zeer vriendelijk, deed niet moeilijk dat we eerder in wilden checken en een paar uur later uit mochten checken. Alles was aanwezig in de woning. Een minpuntje, de bedden waren erg hard.

Die Vermieter, Simona & Michelangelo, sind sehr nette, hilfsbereite und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Das Ferienhaus war sauber, schön, gut eingerichtet und sehr ruhig gelegen, uns hat es nichts gefehlt. Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend, auf italienisch da MOZZAFIATO. Auch die Gegend rund um Porto Istana ist sehr schön und es fehlt an nichts. Wir hatten und haben nichts zu bemängeln und sind rundum zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt. Das Ferienhaus und die Gastgeber sind sehr empfehlenswert, wir kommen gerne wieder. Für diesen schönen Aufenthalt bedanken wir uns bei Simona & Michelangelo herzlichst. GRAZIE TI TUTTO Daniela & Daniele e Famiglia

schönes Haus, tolle Aussicht
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Porto Istana sehr genossen. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist atemberaubend, man will am liebsten die ganze Zeit übers Meer und die kleinen Inseln schauen. Das Haus hat ausreichend Platz für 8 Personen, einen schönen Garten, ist komplett ausgestattet und hat mit Simona und Michelangelo hervorragende Gastgeber. Michelangelo spricht sehr gut englisch und war jederzeit ansprechbar für Fragen. Einmal funktionierte die Spülung einer Toilette nicht, prompt war innerhalb kürzester Zeit ein Klempner da und hat es repariert. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können es nur weiterempfehlen.
