Villa Capo Boi

This bellissima family villa by the sea in Sardinia always receives rave reviews from guests although many would rather not let anyone else in on the secret – sorry to let the cat out of the bag! Perhaps it’s because Villa Capo Boi is utterly immaculate and luxurious, with even more wow factor than the pictures can do justice to? Or maybe it’s the private residents’ beach just a two-minute toddler toddle through a shady canopy of giant pine trees? Whatever it is, families who find Capo Boi almost always want to get back here soon!
The Villa has a paradise-like setting within enclosed gardens of tall trees, Mediterranean flowers and lawns where children can play. It’s part of a small and exclusive residential development with one hotel and a private beach to escape the tourist crowds, even in the height of the summer school holidays.

A covered veranda runs all the way round the south facing frontage of the villa, with individually furnished areas for lazing in the sun, reading in the shade and taking time over a family meal. In fact, the setting at Villa Capo Boi is so lovely and the kitchen so state-of-the-art that making simple snacks and Sardinian dishes, with the island’s famous foody delicacies, is part of the pleasure of staying here – and certainly a lot less stressful than restaurants with babies and toddlers to contend with. Just a simple breakfast gets every day off to a perfect start on the pretty patio right next to the kitchen.

Young and old can find their own space in the cool white open-plan living room, which is large, luxurious and divided into three sections – big comfy sofas in front of the fireplace; a cosy TV and music corner, with a library of movies, sound system and headphones; and the indoor dining area. Even with up to 9 people plus babies staying here, no one need be under each other’s feet when it comes to bedtime either, because the Villa has two bedroom ‘wings’ – one with the master ensuite bedroom and an ensuite twin room and the second wing with two twin/double bedrooms (one ensuite), one single room and a family bathroom.
