Porto Rotondo villa with a pool and views of the gulf

The villa is all on one level, like the great seaside houses of old: a long row of rooms opening onto the portico and, beyond the portico, onto the garden and the gulf. It was designed in 1998 for a family that loves to entertain, and indeed the sand-coloured living room measures 80 m², with a granite fireplace and a collection of Sardinian vases.

Six bedrooms and six bathrooms in 450 m², a chef's kitchen, a dining room for twenty and a two-bedroom cottage. The 5,000 m² garden has olives, myrtle and oleanders, an eighteen-metre pool and a pergola over the 140 m² terrace.

The sunset over the Gulf of Cugnana, with the silhouettes of the inland mountains, is the house's evening show. Porto Rotondo is five minutes by car; alarm system, air conditioning, four parking spaces.
