Stay
On the northeastern coastline of Sardinia, Villa Marzia commands a secluded position within the private estate of Capo Coda Cavallo.
Located on a small bay, Villa Marzia has its own sandy beach with exceptional views of the stunning crystal-clear Sardinian waters. Built in 1976 by renowned architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni, the Villa is surrounded by a sprawling lawn. A gentle path leads you past the pool and down onto the private sandy beach. From here you can swim and paddle board.
Villa Marzia lends itself to long lunches in the garden and aperitivo under the stars. There is a large outdoor pool, plenty of shaded areas, gym equipment and outdoor terraces. You can be as social as you like or disappear to a quieter corner of the property.
The kitchen is spacious and allows you to work with Giovanni and Alessandro and make the most of their incredible knowledge and heritage.
