Sitting just 500 metres from Lu Impostu Beach, this villa on the east coast of Sardinia is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a scenic retreat within easy reach of the sea. Well-suited to those looking for a bit more privacy within their group, the home is laid out over two floors, each boasting its own kitchen. While bed linen and towels aren’t included in the price and there isn’t a pool to speak of here, the upsides include a sunny patio surrounded by fragrant olive trees, and of course the proximity to the beach. Easily reachable on foot, the sandy beach can also be accessed by a small, free local train (operational between 8am and midnight), which also provides transport to Puntaldia and the larger La Cinta sands.
