Gaze out to the Isle of Tavolara

deally positioned a few paces away from the incredible Porto Taverna beach, Casa Verdemare is the perfect choice for a family or group of friends in search of a beach holiday. This functional apartment provides a base from which to appreciate a beach that we feel is one of the best in all of Europe. This sandy beach is so close that the turquoise waters lapping the shore will be audible as you enjoy a drink on your spacious terrace.

Porto Taverna’s huge expanse of sand

Surrounding Area: Porto Taverna beach cannot fail to impress. In the middle of the beach is a superb restaurant with a versatile kiosk and bar attached, and this is open from Easter onwards. At the opposite extreme of Porto Taverna is a seasonal bar but guests at Villetta Gialla will benefit from the closer convenience of Ristorante La Tavernetta – a restaurant/bar located at the near end of the beach. Also nearby is a third restaurant open all year round.

What an ideal setting for a meal!

The nearest centre with a range of amenities such as shops, cocktail bars, a bank and a port is the resort of Porto San Paolo, a couple of kilometres away. In the other direction alternative restaurants are found in the hamlet of Monte Petrosu and slightly further away is the much larger resort of San Teodoro. Olbia is only 20 minutes drive and here you will find 2 large hypermarkets, a busy port, ancient city walls and some old Roman ruins.

Crystal waters at nearby Porto Istana

This is an area that is truly blessed with outstanding beaches – you could easily go to a different amazing beach every day and still be astounded by the softness of the sand, the clarity of the water and the beauty of the surrounding nature. Most beaches in this area share a perspective over the incredible mountainous bulk of the Isle of Tavolara, perhaps at its most impressive viewed from Porto Taverna beach itself.

Outdoors: Casa Verdemare has its own gated parking. The drive is bordered by jasmine and pot plants and leads from the road past another dwelling to the terrace belonging to the Casa. This is large enough to encompass three distinct areas: a cooking area with sink and barbecue, a dining area and a relaxation area furnished with cane chairs and a coffee table. From various points on the terrace, you can catch a glimpse of Tavolara and the sea.

Master bedroom with en-suite

Indoors: The terrace leads into a cool kitchen/dining room, which is decorated in shades of turquoise and sea-green and has a ceiling fan. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and the second bedroom has two bunk beds and its own shower room next door.

Italian Islands Insight: Another extra that the owners can provide is the hire of their 6-metre Concord Fisher boat, with or without a skipper. For guests arriving late, a shopping service is also available to ensure that a well-stocked fridge awaits your arrival.

View of Porto San Paolo resort

For families who want to holiday together, the nearby Villetta Gialla or Villetta Azzurra can also be rented subject to availability.

Situated almost directly upon Porto Taverna beach, Casa Verdemare is an ideal spot from which to appreciate a fantastic corner of Sardinia. Although you will require a car to get to the supermarket and to explore the wonderful surrounding area, in the immediate vicinity of Casa Verdemare, you can walk to a couple of excellent restaurants, a snack bar and other facilities on the beach.
