It’s all about the views here. This villa sits amid the hills of Costa Smeralda, looking out over the Gulf of Pevero and its shimmering sea. Parts of this home are a little dated – and towels and bedding have to be paid for – but if you can get past that, you’re in for a treat. There’s heaps of space, with two of the bedrooms in their own suites. It’s just 2 kilometres from Grande Pevero beach, and is also close to glamorous Porto Cervo and its high-end fashion boutiques. We recommend hiring a car so you can better explore the coast.

Home truths:
*Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s free on-street parking here
*This home is spread over two floors, with a spiral staircase, so may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility
*Young children may need to be supervised near the unfenced pool
*Bedroom three has a shower within the room, so it’s not the most private
*Bedding and linen are not provided for free at this home
