About this property

The house has a large terrace surrounded and covered by bougainvillea and a small, completely private garden. It looks out onto the turquoise water of the Mediterranean. (The large terrace, private garden and sea view are a fortunate and rare combination for apartments and homes in the area.)
The sea is 150 steps down from the house to sunning platforms with free lounge chairs and umbrellas and access to the water. A 10-minute walk leads to a sandy beach nearby. The apartment is located in a private condominium with no cars or roads near the houses. There is a private parking space for your car in the parking areas behind. Low-lying houses are surrounded by bougainvillea, olive trees, lawns and gardens. Tennis courts and 2 swimming pools are on the property and reserved for owners and their guests.
Inside are 2 bedrooms each with a queen-sized bed and each with a bathroom. The apartment includes WIFI, a small TV, a washing machine, a microwave, heating and air-conditioning. There is no oven but there is an electric + gas stove.
The area is 800 meters from Porto Rotondo with its shopping, restaurants, theatre, and its famous port filled with yachts, sailboats and motorboats. Archeological sites, spectacular landscapes and dramatic rock formations are within a 30/40-minute drive and in a very short time, one can travel from the old traditional villages of the interior to the luxurious harbors, hotels, restaurants and boutiques along the coast.
I will send those who are planning to stay an elaborate description of the house, surrounding areas and places to visit, with indications of where to shop or dine and suggestions for hiking and exploring.
Families welcome.

Sardinia

We had the pleasure of meeting the host, at her Rome Apartment. A very gracious and elegant professional photographer. The essence of her photo works carries to her presentation of the condo. Everything was explained in advance, with detailed written, instructions and pictures Everything was as explained and all of our expectations were fulfilled, with follow-ups from the host making sure everything was perfect. Although this was a work trip with days off in between it was a wonderful holiday for my wife and I. Highly recommend this getaway and hope to return with some other friends of ours that stayed here previously. Give stars Fred and Lorraine

Tres belle situation et super lieu de vacances

Tres belle residence, appartement propre mais qui necessiterrait quelques remises a niveau comme la literie, mais cela reste un appartement de vacances avec une super grande terrasse ombragée.. La résidence est superbe, la plage est magnifiquement aménagée.

Summer Holiday 2022

Had a lovely time in Sheila’s property - beaches nearby were lovely and the bus service meant no need for a car if you stay fairly local. Lots of good restaurants nearby and supermarkets with lovely (if expensive) ingredients for cooking at home. Veranda was a lovely place to sit in the evening and it was great to have the pool, sea swimming area and tennis courts on hand.

Sehr schöne Anlage

Die Anlage am Ende des Kaps ist wunderschön angelegt, sehr sauber, sehr ruhig und sehr sicher! Die einzelnen Apartments/Häuser sind umgeben von hohen, blühenden Sträuchern, so dass nahezu nichts von außen einsehbar ist. Pool und Strandanlage sind innerhalb weniger Minuten erreichbar. Das Haus ist klein, für uns als Paar aber natürlich völlig ausreichend. Dafür ist die beschattete Terrasse um so größer und sehr gut möbliert. Die Kommunikation mit Sheila lief reibungslos, und wir bekamen jede Menge Tipps. Alles in allem: sehr empfehlenswert!

Emplacement superbe mais appartement vieillissant

Nous avons été enchanté de la situation et de la vue de cet appartement ,la terrasse était très agréable et bien aménagée par contre à l’intérieur les photos laissent imaginer une déco plutôt sympa mais quand on n’y regarde de près tout est vieillissant pour une location avec un prix qui laisse présager d un appartement de qualité Les draps étaient tâchés, les matelas non protégés avec des taches ! le micro-ondes d’un autre temps ! La vaisselle parfois en plastique ! L eau de la douche ne s évacuer pas et le lavabo fuyait ! La propriétaire est charmante certes mais personne pour nous recevoir ! un descriptif très très très très très très comblé complet, 30 pages à lire en anglais ce qui pour moi n’était pas des plus simple ! Il y a vraiment de gros progrès à faire sur la rénovation de cet appartement ,Surtout compte tenu du prix demandé le rapport qualité prix n’y est pas

Fantastic place and great host!

Sheila’s place at Costa Smeralda is pure magic. The apartment is not big and the beds are a bit narrow, but when you sit at the veranda covered in flowers and stare at the ocean it really doesn’t matter. The private beach (cliffs) has small areas where you can spend the entire day in comfy chairs or diving in the crystal clear water. The nearest city, Porto Rotondo, has a great harbour front with restaurants and can be reached by foot in 20 minutes. The host Sheila is very helpful and answered any questions we had during the stay :-)

A little haven

Sheila’s little house is in an idyllic spot, quiet and with stunning views from the terrace and garden. It’s in a smallish development that I imagine was built to evoke an old Sardinian village. The properties are attractively arranged along twisting walkways which lead down to the bathing areas and swimming pool. It was the end of the season when we were there so it was very quiet indeed. You could sit in the garden and hear birds singing and waves lapping, possibly two of the most relaxing sounds on Earth. The house, although small, is very comfortable and the terrace is a wonderful place to sit or lie either in dappled shade or full sun. It’s the perfect place for relaxing, eating, talking and drinking the very good local Vermentino wine. There is a very pretty beach five minutes walk away which never had more than a dozen people on it and often we were the only people there. I imagine it’s much busier in summer. Porto Rotondo itself is five minutes drive and pleasant to walk around. Unfortunately, as we were there in early October, almost all the restaurants were closed but there would be a good choice earlier in the season. We visited Tartarughino a few times. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly. Sheila provides lots of information about the area, restaurants, supermarkets, beaches and walks. Within reasonable driving distance you can visit Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda and wander around the upmarket shops and then you can go to Arzachena and visit the archaeological remains nearby and imagine a different lifestyle. We had a wonderful week and fell in love with the area and plan to go back. Perhaps in April when all of Sheila’s favourite restaurants and bars are open!

La casa è inserita in un contesto molto curato e dalla vista incantevole, a pochi passi dal centro di Porto Rotondo. La proprietaria è stata molto disponibile e la casa, funzionale e con splendida veranda, è stata all'altezza delle aspettative.

Didn’t want to leave

Sheila is a great host, although we didn’t meet her, she gave us detailed instructions on everything that we needed for our fantastic stay. Her villa is gorgeous and Porto Rotondo is beautiful and a great place to stay. Sheila kindly offered to let us stay until the evening of our departure date as we had a late ferry to Italy to catch. I would recommend this villa to anyone as we had a fantastic time there. Thank you Sheila, we hope to return in the future

Magnifique endroit

Punta Volpe est un endroit magnifique. nous avons particulièrement apprécié le jardin et le bord de mer. Malgré un temps changeant en mai, nous avons pu profiter pleinement de notre séjour. Grâce au petit radiateur, nous avons pu passer des moments confortables à l'intérieur lorsque le temps était plus frais. Sheila nous a fourni beaucoup d'informations pour préparer notre séjour, les plages, restaurants et balades aux alentours. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le restaurant da Giovannino à Porto Rotondo . Pour la balade, le Pevero Health trail et Golfo Aranci.

WONDERFUL OUT-OF-SEASON VISIT

What a wonderful out-of-season visit!! Invigorating air and sunshine and spring flowers everywhere covering the hills and mountains and in the private garden in front of the terrace/patio area where we had lunch and relaxed. We explored the endless beaches and the archeological ruins of the nuraghe in the hills. Sometimes we had dinner at home in this comfortable, welcoming house and other times ate in Porto Rotondo or in Golfo Aranci or drove up to San Pantaleo to see the extraordinary rock formations and then have a drink in the Piazza. Perfect. Marie

About the host

Hosted by Sheila

I live in Rome, Italy. I am a professional photographer and my recent photography exhibitions were INVISIBLE LIGHT in the Sala del Cenacolo in the Italian government and BORN INVISIBLE at the Museo di Roma in Trastevere. You can see these and other images online. Together with my family, we use this small house and garden by the sea for our own vacations.

Why they chose this property

The property is and has been used as a summer home by the owner and friends for more than 20 years.

What makes this property unique

Location! 150 steps along and down to the water where there are lounge chairs and umbrellas at the edge of the sea. You are right there and have no need to drive or even bike any distance at all. It is close to Porto Rotondo with its shops, bars and restaurants. The area offers a variety of excursions plus cultural and pleasurable activities, all close at hand.
