Cala di Volpe
For rentDirect access to the sea is the first gift of this home. All around, an expansive park of tall pine trees keeps the shade cool and invites you to wander. The pool completes the setting with its promise of quiet. Inside, four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a welcoming living room and an eat-in kitchen made for long gatherings around the table.
Direct access to the sea is the key feature of this property: the coast is reached effortlessly, and with it the finest hours of the day.
The pool adds a note of understated luxury and becomes the place where time slows down, for those living in the home and for visiting guests. All around, a large park of tall pines opens up, with its serene atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful walk or simply pausing immersed in the beauty of nature.
The villa offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms: the right space to bring together family and friends, or to enjoy the home with just a few people. The living room and the kitchen with dining area invite togetherness and unhurried dinners, while preserving intimate corners for moments of quiet.
It is the essence of Sardinian coastal living: natural beauty, comfort and practicality in a memorable setting.

01
Around the rectangular water surface, the pale stone of the sun deck meets the lawn, a delicate boundary before the pine forest overlooking the coast. Seating sheltered by the timber patio welcomes moments of rest, while orange cushions reflect the warm afternoon light facing the sea.
02
From high above the dense crown of maritime pines, the terracotta roof of the home emerges, guarding a private pathway down to the beach and the turquoise sea of the bay. The green grounds embrace the entire property with discretion, blending effortlessly towards the sand and the clear waters of the cove below.
03
Beneath reed pergolas and rough timber beams, dining tables sit alongside granite boulders rising from the earth. Built-in seating creates a sheltered, shaded corner from which to look out across the green pine woods and the shimmering pool.
04
From the small cove of golden sand, where sun loungers welcome the gentlest hours of the day, views stretch out over the sheltered bay. Granite rocks frame crystal-clear water in shades of turquoise, with Mediterranean scrub fringing the coast down to the jetties and moored boats.
05
Crossing the threshold, this hallway bathed in natural light greets the eye with clean white walls and pale square floor tiles. Refined cartographic prints adorn the walls, whilst at the end an internal flight of stairs leads to the other rooms with understated simplicity.
06
Generous white walls catch the daylight across the tiled floor, creating an atmosphere both calm and composed. A recessed fireplace sits alongside pale sofas and a blue rug, while artwork on the walls echoes the movement of the waves.
07
A large round wooden table takes centre stage, surrounded by red-seated chairs that subtly brighten the neutral walls. A tall roll-top cabinet and hung artworks complete a setting designed for sharing meals indoors.
08
Stainless steel surfaces and crisp glass cabinets give the space a clean, functional feel, ideal for preparing summer dinners. A round table sits at the centre of the room, illuminated by clear light that enhances the precise metallic lines.
09
Radial wooden ceiling beams define the character of the room, flanked by streamlined built-in white wardrobes. Twin beds dressed in colourful fabrics sit beneath the exposed timber beams, lending warmth and continuity to the space.
10
Wrought-iron twin beds pair with checked fabrics in shades of yellow and blue, drawing on local tradition. An antique wooden chest of drawers stands beside French windows that open straight onto the cool greenery of the garden and the surrounding pine woods.
11
Against crisp white walls, a sea-toned canvas hangs above the headboard of the double bed, bathed in the soft glow of bedside lamps. A dark display chest lends character to the room, where French windows look out onto the terrace.
12
Vibrant accents brighten the space, where orange curtains and the soft blue louvred doors of built-in wardrobes stand out against white walls. A double bed with a dark blue headboard sits quietly opposite the doorway opening onto the greenery outside.
13
The sea green fitted wardrobe dominates one wall with its shuttered doors, bringing a breezy feel to the double bedroom. French windows connect the sleeping quarters directly to the lawn of the estate, allowing natural breezes to drift through.
14
Wooden furniture and fabrics in golden tones dress this double bedroom, which includes a convenient writing desk alcove set between louvered wardrobes. French windows offer immediate access to the lawn, shaded continuously by the surrounding pine trees.
15
Carved stone, trowelled resin and turquoise mosaic tiling define the textural identity of these personal care spaces. Sunken bathtubs sit alongside solid wood countertops and sculpted washbasins, alternating natural details with Mediterranean finishes between sky blue and terracotta.
Sheltered by myrtle and junipers bent by the mistral, Cala di Volpe is the bay in the Arzachena area around which four beaches gather, along with a village overlooking the small harbour where large yachts moor. Behind it rises the Pevero golf course, designed in 1972.
