Overview
There is a surprise around every corner at Villa Mada! As you wind your way through this stunning and unique home, set in the rock side, you will find staggering sea views, spa areas, a cinema and beautiful garden. This home has been decorated to the highest of standards and offers exclusivity to guests travelling to Porto Rafael in Sardinia.
This four-bedroom home has been designed in the style of a yacht, as it seems as if is heading out to sea. The villa is lined with floor to ceiling windows and doors which lead outdoors and allow the mid-day sun to stream in to the elegant rooms. The home is spacious and has been tastefully decorated in a grey and blue colour palette which mimics the sea and the natural rock. As well as looking attractive, the home is also comfortable and has everything you could need on your stay including air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
On top of the usual features, Villa Mada also boasts some special features such as a sauna, a jacuzzi which is cleverly concealed in the main bedroom and fitness equipment, so you don’t have to miss out on your usual workout. If you would like to watch a film together in the evenings, or maybe the kids would like somewhere to hang out, the well-equipped cinema room is the perfect spot!
The kitchen of the home is sleek, modern and fully fitted with all you will need for preparing drinks and snacks. You could dine indoors at the welcoming dining space or take your meals on the terrace outside, while taking in the panoramic sea views.
As night falls, you will have four bedrooms to choose from, which offer flexible accommodation for your party. There are three double bedrooms, one of which is accessed independently from the garden. The cosy cinema room also converts in to a triple bedroom with three sofa beds, the ideal space for the kids to have a sleepover every night! Each of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms.
Outside, the home is enveloped by a lovely garden which sits on a natural terrace looking out over the sea. The garden has a private swimming pool as well as a relaxing whirlpool. There are dining areas, outdoor sofas and sun loungers for basking in the heat of the day. This sun trap is an idyll where you can make the most of the Sardinian climate and the wonderful views, with your friends and family.
The nearest beach is just a stone’s throw away from the villa. This pretty, sandy bay is the best spot for a lazy afternoon. This is just one of many beaches along this stretch of coastline; you can also visit the Blue Flag beaches in Palau or rocky swimming coves.
When you wish to dine out or do some shopping, the amenities and attractions of Porto Rafael and Palau are each under 4km away. This area is a fantastic base for exploring more of the island and the nearby Maddalena islands which you can reach by boat.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MadaVilla Mada is set just a few kilometers away from the village and the bustling marina of Porto Rafael. With plenty of beaches within walking distance and sea view restaurants within easy reach, this is the perfect setting for your Sardinian escape. From your base at the sea front villa, you can opt to do as much or as little as you like; whether you wish to spend each day on a different beach lounging in the sun or whether you would like to explore some of Sardinia’s historic towns and off-shore islands.
This area, in Northern Sardinia is a paradise for beach lovers, as there are two beaches within 500m of the villa. Both are lovely, sandy bays, the ideal place for an afternoon of sun bathing while the kids paddle in the crystalline waters. There are plenty more beaches for you to visit along the coastline, one of the best-loved in the area is Palau Vecchio beach, a vast Blue Flag awarded beach which has a wooded park just next to it for if you need a break from the sun.
The closest amenities can be discovered in Porto Rafael, a seaside resort which has been popular with visitors since the 1950s, though its history stretches back in the pre-historic era. Porto Rafael is a delightful place which has long been a firm favourite with celebrities seeking peace and privacy from the crowds of the bigger nearby towns like glamorous Porto Cervo. Here you will find cafes, restaurants and shops dotted around the cobbled streets and town square. The tranquil beach here is picturesque and looks out over the neighbouring islands. The village is also known as a place of health and wellness, where you can tuck in to fresh local dishes, take part in private yoga classes and enjoy hikes through the lush wilderness.
Just a little further along the road is the town of Palau, which is 4km away from Villa Mada. Palau is a lively place where cafes, bars and restaurants fill the winding streets; you will be able to find everything from family-run trattorias to chic sea food restaurants nestled around the port. You can shop here in local craft shops and markets which spill in to the streets and squares. If you would like to learn more about the history of the area, make a stop at the Ethographic Museum or you could take a hike up to the “Giant’s Tomb” which is actually a pre-historic burial site. If you enjoy challenging walks or hikes, one of the best attractions in Palau is Capo d’Orso, a huge bear shaped rock which you can reach by following an enchanting hillside trail.
In addition to the local towns and villages, Northern Sardinia has so much more to offer visitors. A wonderful way to spend the day is to take a boat trip from Palau to the Maddalena islands which you can see from the villa. There are 7 main islands in this archipelago, though there are 60 in total! You can opt to take a boat trip to just one of the islands or explore a few on a full day outing, one of the favourites amongst visitors is Buddeli island which has a famous pink beach. Whichever island you visit, you will be assured of a splendid day in unspoilt surroundings, with pristine beaches for relaxing and snorkelling.
