“FIVE BEACH HOUSES FOR SUMMER DREAMERS” 

Unadulterated Sardinia

The five cottages on south Sardinia’s Su Faru estate in one of those places Nora I’m both glad I personally discovered a while ago, its beaches and coastlines are lovely (with seas, in some hidden coves and corners, to rival the Maldives, and all but empty even in July), and its culture unspoiled. Su Faru is a private estate overlooking a 16th-century watchtower and archaeological site at Nora, a sleepy beach town about an hour’s drive south of Cagliari. 

Su Faru offers “unfettered access to a part of the island that feels slightly removed from the present”. Its five cottages are not large, and not luxurious in any conventional sense; the furnishings are nice and simple, the outdoor spaces generous but elemental, the kitchens sweet and serviceable. What Su Faru offers is unfettered access to a part of the island that feels slightly removed from the present – a place where you can walk out of your bed, off your terrace, straight down into the sea and swim across a mirror-flat turquoise bay to ancient Roman ruins, in (more or less) blessed solitude. norabeachvillas.com, from €235 a night
