3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 kitchens, large swimming pool, big terrace, big garden From the road between Cannigione and Arzachena, a 2km private driveway lined with ancient cork oaks, junipers and maquis leads you all the way up to the house. Built according to the principles of ecological architecture, the house is situated on a hillside overlooking an expansive, partially rocky landscape dotted with the vegetation that is so typical to Sardinia. With a surface area of 180m2 and featuring a large swimming pool and a spacious garden with numerous seating areas, the house can accommodate a party of six with plenty of room and privacy. Cars can be parked on the grounds. Here, on top of the hill, far away from the noisy streets, you can truly unwind in peace and quiet. In a few minutes, however, you can reach the small yet lively villages of Cannigione, Arzachena, San Pantaleo and Porto Cervo, the centre and harbour or Costa Smeralda with its colourful markets, cosy cafés and restaurants (you will find recommendations and contact details inside the house), speciality shops and supermarkets, magnificent seaside promenade and charming playgrounds.
