Torre delle Stelle
Sardinia has a reputation in German-speaking countries as a particularly exclusive holiday destination. It is often thought that renting one of the upmarket holiday homes here is prohibitively expensive. But that’s just a misconception!
The villas and holiday homes we have selected in the southern Sardinian village of Torre delle Stelle are a wonderful example of how a holiday in a holiday home in Sardinia can be quite easy on the wallet.
Sophisticated charm meets sea views
Many a celebrity has also made a home for themselves in the south of Sardinia and spends their days gazing into the crystal-clear waters, where the gentle slope and the excellent water quality make it easy for onlookers to ‘see right through’ to the action taking place below.
The craving for sandy beaches is satisfied by two adjacent bays with fine-grained sand, where swimmers and water sports enthusiasts can have a great time. The adjoining diving school forms part of the village’s otherwise well-maintained infrastructure. A supermarket, restaurant and football pitch make it easy to organise your holiday.
Pure romance around the lighthouse
The idea of naming the old lighthouse – around which this charming village was built – ‘Torre delle Stelle’ (Tower of the Stars) probably stemmed from the feeling that, in this spot, one is a little closer to the celestial bodies than elsewhere. And indeed, at night, the two hills towering above the sea offer a mostly unobstructed view of the Milky Way.
But it is not only under the cover of night that Torre delle Stelle exudes a romantic and enchanting atmosphere. Within sight of the island’s capital, Cagliari, you can experience day after day just how relaxing the combination of sweeping views and the sound of the sea is here. If you are looking for peace and quiet and a holiday ‘all’italiana’, Torre delle Stelle is the perfect place for you.
A villa by the sea…
Torre delle Stelle was discovered in the 1960s. The aim was to create a holiday resort offering plenty of privacy and charm. Consequently, the more affluent families from Cagliari and the Italian mainland were drawn to the two hills below the lighthouse to establish prestigious family residences by the sea.
Since then, sprawling plots of land with spacious villas have defined the character of the holiday resort, creating a wonderful retreat for all romantics, those who love gazing out to sea, and lovers of the ‘old’ Fellini-era Italy.
