If you want to get some diving done while you’re in Sardinia, this could be the perfect base for you. This villa is in Santa Teresa di Gallura, just 450 metres from Baia Santa Reparata, a beach known for its colourful seabeds. You can also easily hop on a boat trip to explore La Maddalena Archipelago. When you’re on terra firma, you’ll enjoy the outside space here – the private pool and shaded terrace are where we’d be spending most of our time. Some of the decor is a little dated, but there’s also plenty of charm here – you’ll need to pay for bedding and towels though.

Home truths:
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s free parking here
*Bedding and linen are not provided for free at this home
*Young children may need to be supervised by the unfenced pool
*The bathrooms are a little dated
*While not every bedroom or bathroom has been photographed, we expect them to be of the same style and standard as the rest of the villa
