No matter when you plan a holiday in Sardinia, you would be hard pressed to find many other vacation rentals in Sardinia that can compete with Ruju (which is located right in the resort town of Dorgali, on the east coast of the island), when it comes incredible panoramas over the bountiful landscape of the region. Boasting terraces, a living room, bedrooms, and other spaces inside the property that look out directly over the astounding greenery and beauty of the Sardinian countryside, it is also a villa that is located just 8.5km from the nearest beach. Time spent at this lovely villa, then, can be readily split between either lazy or exciting days on the coast and adventurous outings hiking, biking, and more through that lush valley below the property – the best of both worlds when it comes to the Sardinian countryside!
Spread over three storeys, Ruju is a four bedroom, three bathroom villa that can sleep up to a maximum of twelve people. Bright and pretty, the interiors of this charming property are welcoming and elegant, with comfortable furnishings and plenty of style. Cosy bedrooms invite you to get a good night’s rest after days of fun and adventure and all boast air-conditioning that very much comes in handy during the sweltering Sardinian summer. There is an open-plan living room with a massive fireplace (though it is worth noting that this is merely decorative) and plush sofas that make it ideal for sitting around and catching up with your loved ones. The distinctive kitchen with its green tiles and solid wooden furniture is a dream for those foodies who like to prepare meals with fresh local ingredients while travelling and the two indoor dining rooms and the dining spaces on the terrace allow you to enjoy lazy meals with all of your travel companions as you watch the sun set over the stunning scenic horizon. The bathrooms, meanwhile, are all very sleek and modern, adding to your comfort and convenience during your stay. In addition to all of this, the terraces opening up the villa to the exterior and the views framed through the windows that look out across the valley and to the blue peaks in the distance only further enhance the wonderful visual appeal of this remarkable villa. Outside, there is also a small fenced garden on the grounds.
Though there is a supermarket just 550m away and a restaurant and bar just 700m away and the centre of the town of Dorgali is just a short distance away, it is recommended that those staying in this incredible villa in Sardinia rent a car in order to make the most of the wonderful attractions and scenery nearby.
