Villa for 10 guests refITP599

Description

Situated on the summit of a promontory that is part of Porto Rafael, a piece of Italian paradise, a villa named Luna, faces the splendid sea of Sardinia where windsurfing is a popular pastime. The property is immersed in greenery interrupted only by granite rocks in extravagant forms reminiscent of the moon, as the Italian ‘Luna’ signifies. The sea is visible from many parts of the villa, and particularly enchanting is the rare glimpse offered from a special part of the garden you will have to see to believe.

Surrounded by two and a half acres of land, the villa offers large external terraced areas, including the patio connected to an external kitchen. Alfresco dining, especially with freshly grilled items from the stone barbeque, is a pure delight in this vibrant natural setting. When it’s time to cool off, you can jump from the springboard into the fresh waters of the swimming pool with an amazing cliff side view. Indoors, you will find other divertissements including satellite television, table tennis, an iPod dock and Internet access. Your reservation includes housekeeping.

The interiors of Luna feature a very large living room divided into a television area and a sitting area with fireplace. Large picture windows illuminate the interior and create a continuation to the exterior. The gourmet kitchen offers a gas range as well as wooden countertops. The formal dining area makes a great bet for a change of pace, especially as day turns to dusk.

Three of the five bedrooms at Luna have French windows leading to the garden. One of the bedrooms is only accessible from the exterior and is situated next to the swimming pool. Twelve guests are welcome, including children. The bedrooms are spacious and feature comfortable contemporary bedding.

Located in the Olbia region, this villa is close to a number of historical sites including the Romanesque cathedral of San Simplicio and the Church of St. Paul Apostle. The geographical position of Porto Rafael allows access, by a short boat trip, to all the islands of the Archipelago Della Maddalena, a strictly protected marine park. While you are visiting Sardinia, be sure to sample some of the local culinary delights including specialty cheeses and sausages as well as rock lobster, scampi and other seafood. Have your vacation, your way!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Designed in the early 1960’s by a Spanish nobleman, the Count Rafael Neville from which it takes its name, Porto Raphael rises at 45 km from the airport of Olbia, facing the Archipelago Della Maddalena.

A small district set in between the rocks, there are no hotels or large complexes in Porto Raphael, but exclusively private villas and houses immersed in 150 hectares of Mediterranean vegetation, camouflaged between the rocks.

A “location”, Porto Rafael is discreet but not isolated. Peace is guaranteed, relaxing in front of the sea sitting at a coffee bar in one of the two small squares of Porto Rafael.

The first square, with a tobacconist, a small supermarket stocked with local delicacies, a shop selling books and Italian and foreign newspapers is the first stop for a mid morning coffee. The second small square on the sea front is only open to pedestrians, with lots of open air bars for snacks and aperitifs, and in the evening the possibility to stay and listen to music; various exclusive boutiques and two prestigious jewelers. For lovers of good food there are three restaurants.

For sport lovers, a tennis and yachting club with diving centre and sailing centre. Security, with a doctor on call and permanent private security guards is guaranteed by the efficient consortium, which also organizes an interesting calendar of social and cultural events in the town squares. The geographical position of Porto Rafael allows access by a short trip, also possible by simple dinghy, to all the islands of the Archipelago Della Maddalena, a strictly protected marine park.

Corsica and its islands are just a few miles away and can also be reached by car and ferry departing from Palau and S. Teresa di Gallura. The ‘Costa Smeralda’ with its famous Pevero Golf Club, Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo are just 25 minutes by car from Porto Rafael.

The archaeological sites and areas of natural interest are close by. The nearby town of Palau is a lively place with shops, restaurants and a colorful weekly market.
