5 luxury villas in Costa Smeralda
The unique architectural style of the Costa Smeralda is synonymous with luxury and timeless elegance. For more than 60 years, in fact, the curvilinear and harmonious forms that inspire the numerous villas, resorts, piazzas and (even) churches of this renowned charming location have been the signature of the Smeralda coast in Sardinia.
But where does the inspiration come from? From the very beginning, the architects who were involved in its development paid great attention to respecting the surrounding environment, integrating each structure with the shapes and colours of the land. The result is sinuous lines that faithfully follow the morphology of the ground, local materials such as stone, wood and granite, and colours that recall the countryside and the sea. Altogether, these elements give the properties a unique and refined look, making the Costa Smeralda style a true enchantment for architecture and luxury lovers.
If you belong to this group or are simply looking for ideas for your holiday, in this article we give you a selection of 5 Costa Smeralda villas for rent that have been realised with this design and are available on our website.
Naytiri is the perfect example of a luxury villa in Costa Smeralda. Strategically located at the top of the Pantogia hill, it enjoys a spectacular sea view over the Gulf of Pevero. A distinctive element of this villa's architecture is its attention to outdoor spaces: it is surrounded by a lush garden that embraces the infinity pool, as well as a cosy shady courtyard used as a relaxation area. The materials used are again granite, stone and exposed wooden beams that give it a rustic yet sophisticated appearance.
Inside, the Sardinian architecture is fully captured by the wooden decorations that stand out against the white walls. And again, by the typical Sardinian handicraft pieces that are repeated in each of the 6 double bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Moreover, this villa for rent in Sardinia also includes a bright living room with sea view, a modern functional kitchen with high-quality appliances, a cinema area and even a gym.
Villa Esmar is located a few steps away from the popular resort of Cala di Volpe and is one of the most stunning Porto Cervo villas for rent during your stay in Sardinia. Surrounded by dense Mediterranean vegetation and imposing granite rocks, Villa Esmar welcomes its guests with the irregular curves of its arches delimiting a cosy outdoor dining area. But this is not all: on the other side of the villa is a panoramic terrace with a delightful private pool surrounded by elegant sun loungers, where you can cool down while enjoying the sea view of the Costa Smeralda.
Internally, this Costa Smeralda holiday rental is furnished in a sober and sophisticated style, where shades of blue alternate with pastel green, giving vitality to the predominance of white. Perfect to comfortably accommodate up to 8 people, Villa Esmar is divided into 4 double bedrooms and also features 5 bathrooms, as well as a sea view living room and a charming kitchenette.
We remain in the area between Cala di Volpe and the Gulf of Pevero, where we find another perfect representation of the Costa Smeralda villas: Villa Larimar. Between wood and neutral tones, this villa is distinguished by its flowing lines and portholes that look out onto the breathtaking view of the coast, giving it extreme luminosity. The exclusivity of Villa Larimar lies above all in its spacious private pool overlooking the Gulf.
Very similar in size and aesthetics to Villa Esmar, this Costa Smeralda luxury villa also accommodates up to 8 guests in its 4 double bedrooms. Finally, the elegant living room with a comfortable dining table, furnished with fine, natural materials, is the chicest corner of the entire house.
Halfway between the city of Olbia and the Costa Smeralda stands Villa Osier, an enchanting traditional stazzo gallurese revisited in a modern key. Its finesse is discreet, without ostentation, but it can be perceived in every corner of the house, starting from the large living room with its wooden furniture, sinuous white walls and fine local fabrics. Also in the same style are the 3 bedrooms, two doubles and one twin, and the 4 bathrooms.
The outdoor spaces of this luxury holiday home in Costa Smeralda are equally noteworthy. Its elevated position gives it an exceptional view, which can be appreciated especially from the infinity pool at your complete disposal. Finally, to the side of the villa is an intimate shaded patio where you can spend moments of silence and peace.
A Costa Smeralda must see during your holiday: close to Villa Osier is the picturesque village of San Pantaleo, which every Thursday hosts the famous local handicraft market where you can buy precisely the characteristic Costa Smeralda-style furnishings.
Villa Jaqueline is a luxury villa in Costa Smeralda hidden in the green hills of Cala di Volpe, not far from Porto Cervo. Inside it is characterised by a strong sense of sophistication and attention to detail. The property, with its stunning sea view, comprises a modern living room with dining area and a kitchen equipped with all high quality utensils and appliances. The sleeping area consists of 4 double bedrooms and a small bedroom with 4 single beds, all perfectly air-conditioned.
Outside, you can spend pleasant moments of relaxation on the veranda adjacent to the garden, or in the lounge area equipped with a large table (ideal for organising open-air dinners) that looks straight out to a breathtaking sea view; or take a dip in the swimming pool.
