In a privileged position, just above Porto Rafael’s iconic Piazzetta sul Mare, this refined pied-à-terre encapsulates, within a few rooms, the entire essence of one of Sardinia’s most fascinating villages.
The true heart of the property is the covered terrace, overlooking the beach, the Piazzetta and the open sea towards the islands of the La Maddalena Archipelago. An intimate and secluded corner suspended above the village, to be enjoyed from the early hours of the morning until evening, when the lights of the Piazzetta and the boats at anchor create one of Porto Rafael’s most evocative scenes.
The cosy, intimate interiors retain the distinctive character of the local architecture. White walls, characteristic arched openings, wooden features and traditional ceramics in sea-inspired tones express the Mediterranean style that has made Porto Rafael instantly recognisable. Large arched windows connect the living room to the terrace, creating a natural continuity between indoors and out while bringing the view and light into the home.
The apartment comprises a living area with a separate kitchenette, a spacious double bedroom and a bathroom. A simple, functional layout designed for carefree living, where the outdoor space becomes, for much of the year, a true extension of the living area.
What makes the property particularly appealing is its location: central yet private and naturally sheltered from the winds, it allows residents to forget the car and experience Porto Rafael entirely on foot. The beach, the Piazzetta’s restaurants and bars, Cala Inglese and the Yacht Club are all reachable within minutes, while retaining the pleasant feeling of being in a small private retreat overlooking the sea.
A rarely available property, ideal for those seeking an authentic pied-à-terre in the heart of Porto Rafael, either as a personal seaside retreat or as an investment in the luxury rental market. A small home in size, but exceptional for its location, atmosphere and views: three qualities that are difficult to replicate in one of the most iconic places on the Gallura coast.
