THE PLACE
This villa is located in ’Porto Coda Cavallo’ a lively touristic village frequented mainly by families and situated into the Coda Cavallo peninsula, in front of Tavolara and Molara island. The Peninsula is inside the amazing Marine Protected Area of Tavolara.
The spot is 8 km north of San Teodoro, 15 km south of Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport (20 minutes distance by car), 17 km south of Olbia Isola Bianca Port.
The villa was built in a strategic position in the narrower part of the peninsula. For this reason there is Salina Bamba Beach (facing South) and Cala Suaraccia Beach (facing North) both at hundreds metres distance. You can walk easily to and from the beaches through a private flat road (perfect for a baby stroller).
In case of wind it doesn’t matter from which direction it comes from, because you will always have a protected beach to go.
If you walk a few metres more you can reach one of the best beaches of Sardinia: Cala Brandinchi known as Tahiti for its breathless clear water and fantastic landscape.
Other four beaches (Salinedda, Lastra Ruia, Cala Paradiso, Cala Pipara) are all within walking distance from the villa.
All of the beaches are free for the guests. You can bring your own beach chairs and umbrella or, if you prefer, you can hire one directly by the beach.
The guests of the villa can use for free the private tennis courts, basket courts, 8 a side Soccer Field with real grass, 5 a side Soccer Field and all the other private attractions of the village.
In Piazzetta (central plaza of the village) there are shops, pharmacy, bar, restaurants, market and a spa massage beauty centre which are open in summer.
If you like watersports this is your place. You can go to the diving centres (Aquarius and Blu Infinito are both 200 metres from the villa). The Marine Protected Area of Tavolara has the best diving spots of the whole Mediterranean sea. If you prefer you can also hire boats, windsurf, sup, kayak, sailing boats, etc… and play golf in one of the clubs close to the villa.

A comfortable hammock is protected by the shadow of a secular olive tree. The infinity pool has a shallow water zone for children and hydromassage stations from where you can admire the sunset while sipping a very good glass of Vermentino. A child safety pool fence (by request 50€) protects the pool making the garden suitable and safe for children of all ages. External showers and sunbeds can be used for sunbathing or relaxation. BBQ for a fantastic grill with friends and wood oven to cook real italian pizza. In the back of the garden there is a dry zone with no sprinklers where it is possible to hang out in the sun towels.
