Asfodelo

Sitting in an expansive garden of pretty florals, sweeping lawns and shade-giving trees, Asfodelo is the perfect place to get away from it all and unwind in the Sardinian sunshine. When you wish to swim in the clear blue sea, you can simply stroll through the gate onto a little beach; imagining a more tranquil setting for your Sardinian escape is hard.
 
 As you approach the villa, through the blossom-filled gardens, you will be transported into a peaceful oasis where you can enjoy a week or two escaping from the stresses of day-to-day life in comfortable surroundings. The house combines the charm of a country cottage with contemporary design and inviting décor to create the ideal home-from-home for a family with children or for a group of friends travelling together.
 
Asfodelo is set mostly on one floor, aside from one of the double-bedrooms which is located on a sleek, mezzanine level enveloped by glass. On the ground floor, there is a large open-plan room where you can come together for meals or to watch a film in the evenings. This space has a comfy L-shaped sofa, a long dining table, and doors onto the garden. Here, you will also find the fully-equipped kitchen which has everything you need for making meals and drinks, down to a blender and a coffee machine. Two of the three bedrooms are also set on the ground floor: a room with two twin beds and a double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Additionally, there is a family bathroom close to the living area.
 
Outdoors, the house is encircled by vast gardens and leafy grounds, which lead down to a rocky beach where you can swim and sunbathe in peace. If you wish to dine al-fresco, why not fire up the barbecue and eat on the covered terrace? Better yet, you could book a private chef to prepare an Italian feast!
 
 When you wish to get out and see some of your surroundings, you will find shops, restaurants and several beaches within walking distance! The much-loved Salina Bamba Beach, with its Caribbean-like water, is a mere 1.5km away, while the protected walking trails and marine area known as Capo Coda Cavallo is also easy to access at just 2km away.
 
Aside from the attractions on your doorstep, you can also visit many towns and villages within a short drive. These include the port town Porto San Paolo, which is 10km away and is the boarding point for boat trips to the nearby islands. San Teodoro is another option and is 12km away by car. This charming town has a long, rich history reflected in the winding streets packed with shops, restaurants, cafes and ancient churches.
 
If you would like to spend one of your days getting to know a lively city, then Olbia is the place to go. The city is 25km away from the house and is brimming with religious sites, historic buildings and monuments, plus a range of museums. There are also stunning beaches at the start of the Costa Smeralda or the Emerald Coast.
