Why rent a luxury villa in Sardinia
Sardinia draws an international clientele to some of the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastline, where crystalline water rivals the Caribbean. In the north-east, the Costa Smeralda and Capo Coda Cavallo gather glamorous villas, prestigious marinas and secret coves; in the south, Villasimius, Pula and Capo Spartivento offer long beaches and a wilder, quieter charm.
Guests rent beachfront villas with private sand, contemporary properties with infinity pools and residences nestled in the fragrant maquis, many with house staff and resort services. Summer is the flagship season, when the island's coves and beach clubs reveal their full splendour.
