Detached villa with pool to rent in Torre delle Stelle, South Sardinia
Villa Ami is a delightful holiday villa with pool to rent in Sardinia. It was built 6 years ago by my husband in the renown sea side community called Torre delle Stelle. The villa has the benefit of a private swimming pool with salted water and it is located 300 m from the nearest sandy beach called Genn’e Mari. The distance from the nearest restaurant/pizzeria and shops is of only 100 m.
Accommodation.
Accommodation is on 2 floors and comprises of:
Dining living room with fully equipped cooking area and guest cloakroom on the ground floor;
3 bedrooms (master bedroom with en suite shower room, one twin bedroom and one single bedroom). All bedrooms have the benefit of own balcony;
One family bathroom.
The outside space is mostly paved and it is very safe for children of all ages. The pool is visible from all the bedrooms and from the living area. Parents can therefore relax whilst keeping an eye on their children.
The area.
This holiday villa with pool to rent in Sardinia is within the sought after village called ‘Torre delle Stelle‘. ‘Torre delle Stelle’ literally means ‘Tower of the stars’ and it takes the name from the ancient tower that dominates the whole area. All streets are also named after stars and constellations.
The villa was built to a high standard and in compliance with the most recent Italian regulations. It is therefore fully certified in terms of health and safety. The position it occupies is particularly happy. It is, in fact, at very short walking distance from all the local amenities. The nearest bar, shop and restaurant are 100 m away. The nearby beach is 300 m away and it is walkable by children as well. Villa Ami is also at just 300 m away from the local park.
Shops and amenities.
Torre delle Stelle is an environmentally protected area and its beauty has been enchanting visitors since it was created 40 years ago. It has therefore become one of the most sought after areas of South Sardinia. Torre delle Stelle has 2 easily accessible sandy beaches, Genn’e Mari and Cannesisa. It also boasts a few sandy and rocky coves that can be reached either by boat or swimming.
There are shops, restaurants, bars and pizzeria in the village. Torre delle Stelle is, however, only partly inhabited all year round Shops and restaurants are therefore not opened every day of the year. They are, in fact, opened every day (7 days a week) from the beginning of May to the end of October. For the rest of the year one of the supermarkets and the nearby bars are opened from Friday to Sunday included. It is therefore possible to stock up with groceries and food during the weekend. Another option would be to go to one of the supermarkets on the way to Cagliari. The drive is of roughly 15 minutes. Beach bars are usually opened from June to September.
Activities.
Both local beaches are ideal for snorkelling and for scuba diving.
There is a war ship 1.5 miles away from Genn’e Mari beach, and 56 m down the sea that can be visited by expert scuba divers.
Torre delle Stelle, thanks to its position, is the area of Sardinia that enjoys the longest summer. It is in fact said to have her own micro climate.
Other amenities in the village include: tennis courts, football and basketball grounds.
