Property Summary
Nestled just a few kilometres from Olbia, in the heart of Sardinia, Italy, Villa Amar is a recently renovated single-floor villa occupying a privileged position at the end of a pristine white beach in the inlet of Mare e Rocce (Sea and Rocks), one of the most celebrated stretches of coastline along the Pittulongu seaboard between Olbia and Golfo Aranci. This exceptional vacation rental has been conceived with a pulsing, modern architectural style defined by essential lines and light tones, deliberately designed to resemble a boat resting on the beach, with a splendid and uninterrupted view of the sea. The property stands quite literally with "one foot in the water," as the access gate leads directly onto the beach, offering an immediacy of contact with the turquoise sea that is truly rare. The interiors are elegant, refined, and bathed in natural light, with clean and dry lines that reflect the surrounding landscape. Guests benefit from a private yard of approximately 100 square metres facing the sea, a sensory garden that envelops the property in the perfume of Sardinian myrtle and helichrysum. Reliable Internet Wi-Fi connectivity is available throughout the villa, and convenient parking is provided directly on the veranda, ensuring a seamless and comfortable arrival experience.

A particular containment wall in front of the sea, fitted with large tempered-glass windows, ensures that the view of the turquoise water can be enjoyed from virtually any point of the portico and garden. A cold-water outdoor shower is available within the garden for rinsing off after time spent on the beach. A convenient wooden gate leads directly from the garden onto the white sandy beach in front of the villa, making access effortless and immediate. The large covered portico, characterised by careful attention to detail, faces the sea and features a relaxation area complete with a dining table and a seating corner, making it an ideal space for alfresco meals and leisurely evenings. Accessed via an external stone staircase, a splendid panoramic terrace and solarium crowns the property, where a whirlpool tub with non-heated water offers a unique vantage point from which to admire the distant island of Tavolara, known poetically as "La Montagna nel Mare" (The Mountain in the Sea), and to enjoy the spectacular sunsets over the Sardinian coast. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you will find upon arrival.

The sleeping area, located on the same floor, comprises 2 bedrooms. The first is a double bedroom enjoying a beautiful sea view and featuring an en-suite bathroom with shower. The second is a twin bedroom served by a second bathroom with shower, located just outside the room. In total, the villa offers 2 bathrooms, both fitted with shower facilities.

Tenuta Bagni de' Consoli is a unique holiday location, the result of a genius who has been able to represent the "Italic inspiration" with an extraordinary project, taking the Guest on a journey through time, from the Roman era to the present day, with rooms, objects and constructions, with atmospheres and landscapes that evoke the splendours of a thousand-year old past that recalls in every living room, bedroom, corridor or bathroom, through a material, a fresco, a fabric, a painting or a precious memento from distant civilizations and lands. The recent restoration of the 17th century villa with two floors plus attic, surrounded by a large park, took a long time and was conducted through a constant search for excellence in the reconstruction work, by selecting the best materials, such as terracotta, marble, wood and the mosaics that cover the floors and walls, and by commissioning contemporary artists to create frescoes and fine finishes. This journey through time continues along a spectacular tunnel which, by connecting the original "classic" body to the modern body of the villa, literally "dives" into a surprisingly large indoor swimming pool, projecting us into the modernity of our time. The living areas with big windows overlooking the splendid view of the park, the large corner bar, the fully-equipped gym, the sauna and the Turkish bath characterize this vast wellness area. The water element characterizes the estate and, as its name indicates, recalls the ancient origins of the place where, along the ancient Via Consolare, stood the thermal baths which, as history tells us, were frequented by Roman Consuls. Just 1 km away is Bertinoro, a borgo of medieval origin known as "The Balcony of Romagna", located on a hill with a magnificent view over the Adriatic Sea and the Romagna Plain. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.

Park:
The magic of time travel, which began in the 17th century villa and carried on in the modern annex, continues in the 15,000 sq m park totally fenced, a masterpiece of elegant design and late Renaissance classical inspiration in which statues, amphorae, fountains, watercourses, stairways, pergolas and relaxation corners respect the geometric shapes, order and symmetries of the "Italian Garden". Once past the entrance gate to the estate, a long driveway, lined with linden trees and illuminated by lanterns, leads to the main entrance of the villa located on the northern façade, where a first large fountain opens up the scenery of a veritable park of wonders which spreads over three levels, between long paths, large lawns, imposing terracotta flower pots and glimpses of wonderful views of fields, vineyards and hills that gently descend to the not too distant coasts of the Adriatic Sea. Another fountain is surrounded by a green haven of quiet and silence where you can shelter and abandon yourself to meditation or reading, but what dominates the scene in the heart of the park is the work of exquisite landscape architecture, created by smoothly linking the beautiful fountain, located in the centre of the rose garden with its original arched structure, to the large swimming pool through an imposing marble staircase which collects the water and lets it flow down along its sides. Among the splendid fountains, which create heavenly atmospheres with their plays of water and lights, are an infinite variety of flowers, plants and trees. At the end of the tour of the park, a beautiful large natural-stone fountain seems to take us back to the most remote era of our journey through time.
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.
Swimming Pool:
Tenuta Bagni de' Consoli has two swimming pools, one outside in the large park and one indoors. The large 60 sq m (12 x 5 m) indoor swimming pool, 1,60 m deep and tiled in mosaic, lies in the new modern body connected to the villa (It can be heated on request with an extra cost, except in July and August). All around it, the large windows offer a wonderful view of the park and the outdoor swimming pool which, when the large French windows are opened, seems to merge with it. The large living areas that surround it, the comfortable beds of refined design, the piped music system, the corner bar in the adjacent wellness area with gym, sauna, turkish bath and changing rooms and the lighting, make this large indoor pool a haven of the highest level of comfort you could wish for. No less exciting and scenically unique is the large 130 sq m outdoor swimming pool, with the depth varying from 1,40 to 3 m, has clorexidine purification, also tiled in mosaic and illuminated. Surrounded by a large solarium equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, it offers an enchanting view of the large marble staircase, down whose sides flow two streams from the fountain located in the centre of the wonderful rose garden set on a hill in this splendid park full of flowers and plants of all kinds.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling Lazio countryside on the border with Umbria and within easy reach of Tuscany, Villa Carmeli is an exceptional vacation rental that combines the timeless charm of a traditional Italian stone farmhouse with the refined comfort of contemporary living. Located near Castel Giorgio in Italy, this magnificent three-storey property and its separate annex sit within a vast unfenced park of 10,000 square metres, offering an unparalleled sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity. The heavy stone walls, softened by light blue fixtures that lend a distinctive Provençal character, frame a home where original architectural features such as round vaults, terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut beams have been lovingly preserved throughout the renovation. The contemporary sensibility of the owners has shaped large, warm, and welcoming interiors with a minimalist aesthetic, making Villa Carmeli perfectly suited to an extended holiday with family and friends. The property benefits from complimentary Wi-Fi connectivity throughout, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Ample parking is available on-site, with 4 uncovered spaces conveniently positioned in front of the pergola and swimming pool. The expansive grounds serve as a natural yard, inviting guests to explore gravel paths, stone steps, and a landscape rich with oaks, cypresses, walnut and olive trees, lavender, and seasonal wildflowers.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Carmeli are as thoughtfully conceived as the interiors, offering a seamless transition between the comfort of the house and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The unfenced park extends across 10,000 square metres of semi-hilly terrain, characterised by the native vegetation of the Umbria-Lazio border, including wild asparagus, dog rose, butcher's broom, hawthorn, juniper, holly, bay, strawberry tree, and blackthorn. Arable land surrounds the property, and in summer the landscape is tinged with warm shades of yellow and ochre. Gravel paths and stone steps facilitate movement throughout the grounds, and the property adheres to environmentally responsible practices with door-to-door separate waste collection. A pergola adjacent to the main villa serves as a sheltered outdoor dining and entertaining area, equipped with a barbecue and a dining table, and accessible directly from the open-plan living area on the ground floor. A second pergola with barbecue and dining table is also available at the annex, providing the same outdoor experience for guests staying in the separate building. The non-heated swimming pool is positioned on a lower terrace approximately 20 metres from the main villa and is reached by descending eleven terracotta steps from the pergola or by crossing the lawn from the parking area. Measuring 4 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.40 metres, the pool is resin-lined and features chlorine purification, internal lighting, and a metal ladder for water access. The surrounding solarium, finished in porous terracotta and lawn, is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and a solar shower is available nearby. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. It is worth noting that photographs of the property are typically taken in spring, so the colours and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and park may differ from their appearance at the time of arrival.

Villa Giulia is located in a suggestive position, inside the ancient volcanic crater of Nemi, and offers an extraordinary view: on one side the lake, on the other the wide plains south of Rome, up to a glimpse of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the distance. The villa appears almost suspended on the side of the hill, immersed in an intimate setting between forest and water. The house is made with three different shades of local volcanic stone: Etruscan tuff, pepperino and travertine that give it a distinctive and refined character. Built in 1966 and completely renovated in 2022, today the villa offers all the comforts for a stay in nature without sacrificing the elegance of the interiors. Surrounded by greenery, the property ensures maximum privacy, while the pool, suspended on a panoramic decking, offers a breathtaking view of the “mirror of Diana”, or Lake Nemi. A few minutes from Nemi and Genzano and about 30 km from Rome, it is located in the Castelli Romani Park, an ideal destination for relaxation, nature and good food.
