About this property
Sitting in a dramatic position, nestled within the granite cliffs, you will discover Serapide. This modern, four-bedroom home is unique and was designed by a renowned Mexican architect. Guests staying here can enjoy the contemporary and colourful rooms while gazing out to sea.
If you are searching for the perfect home away from home in the North of Sardinia, look no further than Serapide. With incredible panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the sea and equally impressive interiors, you cannot go wrong with a holiday here.
As soon as you approach the villa, you will discover a unique and charming home brimming with colour and sleek modern lines. The glass-lined exterior and bright yellow colours can be seen from the outside. The home is enveloped by a lush green garden with a private swimming pool, covered dining areas and plenty of sun loungers to relax and make the most of the great climate.
Serapide is a predominantly single-story residence. It welcomes you into a spacious dual-aspect living room adorned with book-lined walls, plush sofas, armchairs, and doors opening onto the garden. Adjacent to this, an impressive red-toned kitchen stands ready with comprehensive amenities, from an oven to a coffee machine. Dining options abound, whether within the kitchen, the formal living room, or al fresco on the covered terrace.
The house features four bedrooms, three of which are nestled within the main villa. On the ground floor, the master suite beckons with a double bed, garden-facing doors, and a luxurious jacuzzi bath, complemented by an en-suite shower room. Also on this floor is a versatile bedroom, offering the choice of a double or twin setup, complete with its own en-suite shower room. The lower ground floor hosts an additional bedroom with twin beds and a separate shower room.
A final bedroom awaits in an annexe within the grounds. It provides a serene retreat with a double bed and an accompanying bathroom featuring a refreshing shower. Serapide is a harmonious blend of comfort and style, offering an inviting space for relaxation and enjoyment.
When you wish to explore more of your surroundings, there are walking routes and two sandy beaches under 500m away! Porto Rafael is the closest village, only 1km away, and offers a range of amenities. Tucked away from the usual tourist trails, you can enjoy peace and privacy here and be well-placed to access towns such as Palau and incredible dive sites.
Close to the home, you can also take boat trips to the unspoilt Maddalena Islands, which can be seen from the garden. A trip to the islands offers plenty to discover, including the famous pink beach.
Serapide is situated merely 1km from the charming village and vibrant marina of Porto Rafael and offers an ideal setting for your Sardinian retreat. With numerous beaches within walking distance and sea-view restaurants nearby, this gorgeous villa provides the perfect base for a leisurely or adventurous getaway. Whether you desire lazy days on different beaches or to explore Sardinia's historic towns and offshore islands, the choice is yours.
Northern Sardinia, renowned as a haven for beach enthusiasts, hosts two beautiful sandy bays within 500m of the villa. Perfect for sunbathing and children's playful dips in the crystal-clear waters, these beaches are just the beginning of the coastal delights. Palau Vecchio beach, a beloved Blue Flag destination, stands out with its expansive sandy shores and adjacent wooded park, offering a delightful respite from the sun.
Venture into Porto Rafael, a seaside resort steeped in history and privacy. It features cobbled streets, a town square, cafés, restaurants, and shops. Known for its wellness offerings, Porto Rafael invites you to savour local dishes, partake in private yoga classes, and explore lush hiking trails. 5km away, you can also visit Palau, a town which boasts lively streets lined with cafés, bars, and restaurants catering to diverse tastes. Craft shops and markets add to the vibrant atmosphere, while historical attractions like the Ethnographic Museum and the "Giant’s Tomb" burial site provide glimpses into the region's rich heritage. For hiking enthusiasts, Capo d’Orso, a colossal bear-shaped rock, offers a rewarding trail.
Northern Sardinia extends beyond local towns, inviting exploration. Embark on a boat trip from Palau to the Maddalena Islands, visible from Villa Mada. With seven main islands and a total of 60, the Maddalena Archipelago offers diverse landscapes. Opt for a day trip to Buddeli Island, famed for its pink beach, or explore multiple islands for an enchanting experience of pristine beaches and snorkelling adventures. Whichever destination you choose, Northern Sardinia promises a splendid day amidst unspoiled beauty.
