Casa Azzurra is tucked away amongst peaceful lush Mediterranean gardens in a quiet and family friendly residence alongside a coastline of secluded silent sandy coves and a beach perfect for children.

The house has a lovely front patio shaded and enveloped by fig trees and flowers to create shade and privacy during the hottest hours of the day. It has a long table to fit at least 10 people and a corner with cane chairs. The house is a little dated but very charming with pastel colors walls and locally crafted furniture made of beautiful scented, dark wood carved with Sardinian designs, which creates a much welcomed Mediterranean feel with an artistic touch to it.

There is an open plan living room opening onto the portico with separate kitchen. A total of 10/11 people can sleep in the villa so really also 2 families.

Bedrooms:

• 2 comfortable and spacious double bedrooms with wooden beam at the ceiling and ceiling fans.
• A twin bedroom.
• A bedroom with bunk beds.
• A very small single bedroom.
• A second living room with breakfast table and a single bed with pull out bed, which can be turned in a double bed. This room is open plan and has a kitchen corner on one side and opens onto the back patio.
• Two bathrooms with shower and pastel colored tiles matching the Mediterranean atmosphere of the villa.

Being all on one level it is good also for very young toddlers yet the upper level with the sun terrace which has a most exciting view of the whole coastline is not for children of any age! Here there is a table with chairs and parasols. A most relaxing corner to enjoy and be surrounded by beauty...

A large swimming pool (the size of an Olympic pool) is close by. The club house has a nice café bar and a restaurant (with pizzeria). Set in a private corner of the residence it does not interrupt the peaceful atmosphere of this place. On the beach there is a hire place for canoes and other small boats!

This, as well as the well equipped small supermarket will be most welcomed! The Olympic swimming pool is located right next to the fine sand beach. Walking alongside the coast one can reach very secluded coves of fine sand and crystalline sea, which are deserted even in the middle of the full season, even in August! Still these wild shores are protected by building regulations which forbid building close to sea, so this sea skirting residence is an exception as it was built in the 80’.

Designed for two families, the house could be also rented as separate apartments. Each of 3 "bedrooms". It has two kitchens, one of which faces a small living room with breakfast corner (here is the pull-out bed for 2 people). The second largest kitchen has a corner with washing machine. The kitchen is simple, but well equipped.

From Casa Azzura one can reach an excellent diving centre and surf school. A few kilometres away a place called "Casa Gioiosa" becomes in the main season a meeting point for music lovers as there are always several interesting concerts. Nearby the coves of Pischina Salida, the beautiful beach of Porto Ferro.

Casa Azzurra can be the ideal place for a relaxing holiday in Sardinia. It is approx. 20 min drive from the charming historic citadel of Alghero, which has surely the most characteristic and picturesque old town in Sardinia. A maze of narrow cobbled lanes and small squares with typical Mediterranean cafes opening their terraces onto the old squares with shady sitting corners and the relaxing atmosphere one loves in this old traditional towns which come alive in summer! Romantic with a touch of culture and ambience this old town will win everybody's heart with its unblemished charm. The walks over the old Medieval walls overlooking purple painted sunsets will create unforgettable memories...

Alghero counts some of the most striking sandy beaches of white/ silver sand bordering forests of juniper trees in some places reaching down the water with their long branches. In the spring these beaches are dotted with white lilies so typical of Sardinia and small pink flowers which look beautiful against the emerald green of the sea.
