Villa Ambra

Overview

Villa Ambra is a receptive structure. Was completely redesigned and renovated in 2012, in a modern, “Total White” style but with aesthetic references to the colours of the Mediterranean Sea, such as ultramarine and aquamarine. Sardinian wax ceramics in dramatic Mediterranean blue tones have been inserted on the polished white floors. And, likewise, the décor in the common areas is always the same dominant white with ceramic inserts in shades of blue and aquamarine. Some tables, for example, have been specially designed and hand-crafted, with a modern-style white structure and Cerasarda mosaic inserts, typical of the region, creating a modern effect but at the same time enhancing the typical regional style.

There are several common areas, the indoor kitchen, the loggia, the outdoor veranda and the two near the pool, characterized by these unique tables. An additional relax area is located next to the tennis court and composed by a round granite table. The view over the Gulf of Asinara is magnificent and the sunsets are fantastic. The resort is, in fact, called “Punta Tramontana” (Sunset Point). In this area the sun sets later than in the rest of Italy and in June it sets at about 21.45, creating colours that range in all the tones of orange-red. The villa has been designed optimizing energy sources to enable use in maximum respect for the environment. Another strong point of the property is the swimming pool facing the sea and which, with its irregular shape and sandy sunbathing area, represents almost an extension of the sea towards the property itself.

Villa Ambra Accommodation Overview

The property consists of two buildings. The front entrance of the two-storey main villa leads from the portico, through the sliding windows of the veranda, into the main open-plan kitchen of the villa. The entire veranda as well as the external portico are furnished with numerous seating, dining and relaxation areas, enabling guests to enjoy the unique marine landscape during dinner or when chatting at sunset.

Stairs at the entrance between the veranda and kitchen lead up to the large loft with double bed, Jacuzzi tub and bathroom with shower.

Exiting the veranda, you come to the other three bedrooms on the ground floor, each with separate entrance and en-suite bathroom with shower. One of the rooms has a joinable beds (and so can be transformed into a double) and two of the rooms have a connecting door.

The veranda also leads to another area of the villa with an outdoor gym on the ground floor and an external staircase leading up to the first floor of the villa. Here is a small loggia, a double bedroom with divisible bed and en-suite bathroom with shower and a kitchenette. About 15 m from the villa, on the left side of the swimming pool facing the sea, is the second building, composed of a large professional kitchen.

Exterior:

The roughly 8.000 sq m park around the villa is composed of a green lawn with dozens of typical Sardinian palm trees, as well as ten date palms, lentiscus, myrtle and helichrysum, all typical Mediterranean plants. There are two very large verandas containing a 12-seater table, seating area and gym as well as a gazebo with a large 12-seater granite table near the pool and the area with barbecue and outdoor professional kitchen.

Another gazebo facing the pool contains a comfortable 6-seater chaise longue while a cosy hammock on the hill provides a stunning view over the whole coast and the island of Asinara. On the south-eastern side is a private regular-size synthetic grass tennis court with lighting for playing at night. In the adjacent field is a private heliport.

Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Distances

The villa is located in a very quiet place and away from other homes but next to a top-class restaurant, reached directly through a little gate, with whom we have an agreement for catering services. Peace and quiet are guaranteed at all times, even in high season.

Within easy reach are localities with supermarkets and shops of all sorts. About 5 km away is Castelsardo, a medieval town perched on a cliff directly over the sea which deserves a visit with its old borgo, castle and 12th century cathedral.

The airports of Alghero-Fertilia and Olbia are respectively 40 and 90 km away. The town of Sassari is about 25 km away.

As the villa is located in the centre of the Gulf of Asinara you can easily make excursions eastwards, towards the Costa Smeralda, and westwards, towards Stintino and the island of Asinara, locations reachable by car in about 1 hour.

The property also has agreements for daily helicopter excursions to the Costa Smeralda (15 minute flight) where you can get a boat to visit the islands of the archipelago and then return directly to the villa in the evening via the private heliport.
