This stylish ground floor apartment is a picture of Sardinian sophistication. If you're seeking a base to the north of the picturesque island, this home is found in the suburbs of Olbia, famous for its medieval basilica and palm-lined seafronts. Inside you'll find a combined living room, dining area and kitchen that doesn't feel oppressive, two private bedrooms, and plenty of workspaces for any laptops. You can then step out onto your own private terrace for dinner under the stars – or, if you don't feel like cooking, the city's popular pizzerias and seafood restaurants are half an hour down the road.
