SARDINIA’S NORTH
The Roman-era port city of Olbia is northeast Sardinia’s main hub with the ruins of the ancient aqueduct and baths at its heart alongside the bustling Piazza Matteotti and Piazza Regina Margherita, with its palaces and sidewalk cafes.
Twenty minutes north, San Pantaleo and Porto Rotondo are charming towns to explore, full of delightful shops, restaurants, and cafes set against magnificent rock formations. Head down on market day to soak in the ambiance and peruse the arts and crafts.
A twenty-minute drive to the coast, the jet-set and celebrity capital of the Costa Smeralda, Porto Cervo on Sardinia’s northeast tip features a dazzling array of luxury shops, and cafes, clubs and boutiques all centered around a beautiful natural cove bobbing with mega-yachts.
The island’s spectacular natural beauty is legendary and its turquoise waters and white sandy beaches in the Cala di Volpe, Grande Pevero and its smaller sister beach Piccolo Pevero are some of the best. A little further south is Romazzino and Principe beach along with sheltered coves, including Liscia Ruja and the lovely Cala Capriccioli. You can take a boat to the Golfo di Orosei’s coves, or to La Maddalena’s cluster of granite islands and the offshore islets of Li Nibani to discover spots accessible only from the sea.
The island’s interiors are rugged and lush with oak and pine forests and the spectacular Gola Su Gorropu canyon for hiking, magnificent rock formations that the island is famous for, and Bronze Age settlements to discover.

Smoking is only allowed outside and nature should be respected: for example some turtles or hopping hare may be encountered on the land. The adventurous road of 1 km to reach the lodge is steep and windy and only recommended for cars on higher wheels and drivers not afraid of heights. The gate at the main road is shared with 3 neighbours and should be closed at dark for our privacy.

Leontine is a fantastic host, she definitely takes the extra mile in terms of organization and responsiveness! She was extremely helpful and you can always expect a quick response if you had any questions! The place itself made you feel at home and it was definitely unique – you would especially enjoy it if privacy is something you value. The only caution to be aware of is that this property is located in a rather isolated area – where you have to drive off road and up a mountain to get to. If you are a confident driver then this shouldn’t be a problem; however, if I wasn’t there and it was just my girlfriend – it would’ve been a problem for her as it is located along the freeway and at night the off road path to her home is completely pitch black. Thank you to Leontine for the ample amount for information and help she had given us during our trip, we would be back next time! Grazie mille!

Our stay at “Sogno Sperduto” was amazing. It was everything we wished for and more – we managed to meet Leontine on checkout and she was lovely. We’ll be back. That’s for sure.

We had a magic time at Leontine’s, the whole family… It was not only a vacation, It was an emotional trip, a lifestyle, a breathing-break in our life, a pause for everyday life in an angle of paradise… where everything is perfectly aligned with the human rithm and the nature one. We received detailed and precious advises which turned a vacation during the week of “Ferragosto” into “our own” journey, reaching amazing beaches and places away from the tourists mass. This is the perfect place where “(lost) dreams” become true…

I absolutely loved this place! My husband and I stayed here and found it to be an absolutely beautiful home away from home. It is super clean and tastefully decorated, with lots of windows and natural light, including a fully stocked kitchen with every piece of kitchenware and appliance you could possibly need. With comfortable beds and modern bathrooms, we had all the conveniences of a 5-star hotel, yet the coziness of a well-cared-for retreat getaway. Plus, all of the little extras were nice touches that showed how much the owner Leontine cares about creating a welcoming stay for her guests: There are tons of DVD’s and a lovely fireplace for the cool evenings, three terraces/porches on which to either relax in a hammock reading a book or admire the breathtaking 180-degree view, 2 yoga mats and blocks, possibility to listen to your own playlist on surround sound in the living room, comfortable couch, reading nooks, fluffy towels, guide books and maps with recommendations on places to visit. There is a warm, family-owned Sardinian restaurant near the property entrance that offers tasty typical, Sardinian fare. We found a fabulous winery nearby where we had a wine tasting in their gorgeous showroom. We even saw a land tortoise wandering on the private access road! We were just 10 minutes away from supermarkets, bars, lovely restaurants, and 20 minutes away from the ferries and some spectacular beaches and crystalline waters. The house is ideal for couples, families, or friends, but I would also like to go back with a small group of women for a type of wellness retreat, as it is perfectly situated atop a hillside in the middle of nature full of amazing energy and tranquility, with plenty of outdoor space to take advantage of. The communication with Leontine was easy and timely, and she answered all of my questions and gave us great advice on the surroundings and all that they have to offer. I honestly cannot wait to go back, and I’m already organizing my next stay. Thank you Leontine for this tasteful Costa Smeralda experience! Complimenti davvero! Una casa splendida!!

It’s more than a week since we returned from Leontine’s dream house, and it’s still in my thoughts and dreams.. We absolutely fell in love with this fabulous “home away from home” that Leontine created with so much taste, attention to details, care, understanding of travelers needs and love. It’s been the most unique and fantastic stay we’ve ever experienced in a house rental. The house is located in the North of Sardinia, about 20 minutes drive to the stunning beaches of Costa Smeralda and the small villages along the coast. It’s isolated, on top of a mountain, and gives you absolute privacy – it’s just you and the forest, birds, beautiful rock formation, million stars and complete silence. The house is so tastefully decorated and furnished – you can see that from the photos, but it’s even more breathtaking in real life. And it’s equipped with everything you can possibly dream of – just bring yourself and your clothes. Just to mention a few – travel books, art books, games, beach towels and umbrellas, yoga mats, different sizes of wine glasses for every kind of drink, kitchen FULLY equipped with absolutely everything – we just stayed at home and cooked our food, who wants to go away anywhere from this heaven? And the list goes on and on.. everything possible a private house has – was there. Leontine is the kindest, warmest host you’ve met. She was available for any question, and welcomed us like we’ve been long time friends. She gave us an excellent booklet she prepared with everything you need to know about the area and tons of very useful suggestions and recommendations (take the boat trip she suggests to Maddalena islands! It was fantastic). We spent 6 nights in this heaven, and wish we could stay forever… We’ll surely return. We just spent our days admiring the nature surrounding the house from all sides, relaxing in the 5 stars comforts the house offers, sunbathing, cooking and relaxing. Don’t hesitate about spending your vacation here.
