Description

Harmoniously nestled among sculptural granite formations, Villas Ulivi and Sentinella embody a refined architectural dialogue between design, nature, and the rugged coastal landscape shaped by the wind. Villa Ulivi Designed in 1969 by the renowned architect Michele Busiri Vici, Villa Ulivi perfectly reflects his distinctive style: organic forms, pristine white surfaces, and seamless integration with the surrounding landscape. Strategically positioned within a two-hectare estate, the villa is enveloped by olive groves, oleanders, and manicured pathways that lead to a private sandy beach, where the endless shades of blue from the Archipelago’s waters unfold before your eyes. The villa’s design is a tribute to light, space, and a profound connection with the outdoors. The ground floor features an open-plan layout, where expansive glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking sea views, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. A sculptural circular dining area, a central courtyard, and generous living spaces create a dynamic and fluid spatial experience, enhancing the sense of openness. The main suite on the first floor boasts a walk-in wardrobe and a private terrace with uninterrupted views across the Archipelago. With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, the villa has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate family and guests while ensuring maximum privacy. Villa Sentinella Designed as a complementary yet independent extension of Villa Ulivi, Villa Sentinella was completed in the late 2000s. It offers a contemporary continuation of Busiri Vici’s architectural philosophy. Situated close to the main villa yet carefully positioned to preserve privacy, it blends effortlessly into the landscape, surrounded and sheltered by centuries-old olive trees and the striking granite formations characteristic of Sardinia. The villa’s architecture embraces its natural surroundings, creating a seamless dialogue between interior and exterior spaces. The four en-suite bedrooms have been meticulously designed to balance functionality with the essential elegance of Busiri Vici’s aesthetic.

Location: Porto Rafael, Altura

Porto Rafael is a charming seaside resort that sits right in front of the striking La Maddalena Archipelago, just a few kilometres driving away from Palau. Founded in 1961 by Raphael Count of Neville, whose dream was to create his own Sardinian "Dolce Vita" hideaway, Porto Rafael still preserves the charm of those old days, and it became the gathering of an international jet set. Characterised by a quaint piazza overlooking Cala Inglese, also known as the 'Porto Rafael pool', and by the white houses bounded by colourful gardens. It is a popular destination for summer holidays, frequented by personalities from the world of entertainment, yet is also suited to families and lovers of relaxation and bustling social life. The centre is equipped with all services, while also being home to renowned international sailing events during the summer. Not to be missed is 11th August, when a particular event is held in the piazza whereby all participants, dressed in a white tunic, dance in honour of the Count who founded the town. The small marina of Porto Rafael is an ideal point of arrival for small and large boats, as well as for setting out on excursions to the enchanting islands of the archipelago. Just a stone's throw from the village, along the coast of Palau, you will find small beaches of coarse-grained pink sand with small pebbles, all forming authentic natural pools.
