Architect-designed villa, spectacular sea views, pool

About MD Francis

My wife spent several summers in the Costa Smeralda as a child in the 1970s. She came back in the 1990s and together we fell in love with the beaches and unique charm of the area. We purchased the villa for family holidays but only use it a few weeks a year. We wanted to share our home with guests, and hope they can relax and enjoy it like we do.

Why MD Francis chose Liscia di Vacca

Savin Couëlle's unique architectural style shines through in this little jewel of a villa in Liscia di Vacca. Its quirky, organic shapes, its well-designed layout that maximizes the villa's hilltop location, and wonderfully private location all make this villa a truly unique experience. Original ferro-battuto metalwork and Cerasarda tiling add to the quintessential Costa Smeralda style of the villa. Note, the villa is unlikely to suit visitors looking for super hip, modern style. The villa lacks contemporary art, a high-definition big screen television, Sonos sound system and hot tub. Its furnishing are mostly traditional Sardinia fabrics, basketwork and wood carvings.

What makes this Villa unique

We enjoy the villa primarily for 3 reasons. First, its organic architecture is wonderfully sympathetic to the environment. Second, the villa's location is incredibly private yet we can walk to restaurants, cafes and a supermarket. No driving needed for good espresso, gelato, superb evening meal or pint of milk. Beaches are close by, although we recommend hiring a car to access the many beaches in the area. Third, the villa is a much-loved family place, relaxed and unpretentious, where parents with children are welcome. Having been used by our family for over 20 years, we're delighted to welcome guests to the villa's unique charm and personality.
