Domus De Acacia | 3-Bedroom Villa in Sassari Province of Sassari

Sassari’s northeastern coastline harbours one of Italy’s most compelling villa experiences: a three-bedroom retreat where the Tyrrhenian Sea sits just 200 metres from your morning coffee. Domus De Acacia captures the essence of coastal Sardinian living—where culinary flexibility meets family comfort, and the distinction between indoor and outdoor spaces dissolves entirely.

Inside Domus De Acacia

Domus De Acacia sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, distributed across 135 square metres of thoughtfully organised interior space. The ground floor anchors the villa with a living area furnished with generous sofas and flat-screen television, flowing seamlessly into a kitchen equipped for serious cooking—dual hobs, full-size oven, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, and counter space for six to dine at the integrated table simultaneously.

The bedroom layout prioritises both privacy and garden connection. The primary bedroom features a double bed with direct garden access, accompanied by a secondary sitting area via sofa. Two additional double bedrooms mirror this configuration, each providing independent egress to the landscaped grounds. Both bathrooms feature walk-in showers and modern WC facilities. Throughout, air-conditioning maintains comfort during Sardinia’s warm months, while mosquito netting in bedrooms addresses coastal evenings. Wi-Fi coverage extends to all areas, ensuring work flexibility or entertainment streaming without interruption.

Practical amenities include a washing machine for extended stays, iron and ironing board, and flat-screen entertainment systems. The kitchen’s appliance selection—from microwave to kettle to blender—suggests the owners anticipated guests who cook rather than merely order in.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The real estate story unfolds outside. Four hundred square metres of grounds surround the villa, beginning with a private rectangular swimming pool measuring 5 by 10 metres at 1.4 metres maximum depth—operational from May through October, sized appropriately for lap swimming rather than mere wading. Sun loungers position themselves strategically across the lawn, while an external shower provides that essential rinse without tracking pool chlorine indoors.

The rooftop sun terrace, accessed via external stairs, commands views across to the Mediterranean horizon. This becomes the evening focal point—the place where the light transitions from gold to amber to deep blue, and where distances flatten in a way that makes Olbia feel simultaneous near and impossibly far.

At ground level, a covered dining table seats eight under shelter, while outdoor sofas create conversation zones throughout the landscaped garden. A barbecue facility anchors the entertaining space. Palm trees and flowering plants punctuate the lawn, suggesting Mediterranean horticulture without the aggressive maintenance demands of purely ornamental designs. Parking sits immediately adjacent to the villa, eliminating the hunt for vehicle placement.

Location: Sassari and the Surrounding Area

Domus De Acacia occupies the northeastern edge of Sardinia, where the Province of Sassari’s coastline transforms into one of Italy’s most distinctive beach destinations. The positioning is deliberately strategic: far enough from major tourist congestion to preserve character, near enough to beaches and amenities to avoid isolation.

Salina Bamba beach—visible as you walk the 200-metre path from the villa—delivers the postcard version of Mediterranean beach culture: white sand, transparent water, and a diving centre immediately adjacent where professional instructors arrange lessons or hire snorkelling and diving equipment. The beach shelves gradually, making it genuinely suitable for younger swimmers. Adjacent to the beach, a saltwater lagoon creates a secondary ecosystem where migrating flamingos and wading birds appear seasonally, particularly during spring and autumn passages.

Capo Coda Cavallo lies 3 kilometres south—a protected marine reserve spanning over 15,000 hectares where coves, cliff formations, and shrubland remain undeveloped. The bay’s geography shields the water behind Tavolara Island, creating the Mediterranean conditions most people imagine but few actually encounter. Walking routes thread through the protected terrain, while a village provides basic provisioning.

Porto San Paolo, 10 kilometres distant, functions as the departure point for boat excursions to Tavolara Island—a 25-minute crossing that reveals an essentially untouched landscape with minimal commercial development beyond essential restaurants. Punta Cannone, the island’s highest elevation, rewards the walk with panoramic perspectives spanning from Molara Island to the Corsican coast. Experienced hikers can arrange guided expeditions; standard visitors benefit from snorkelling and diving access.

San Teodoro, 12 kilometres northwest, presents Sardinia’s pirate heritage through its museum while maintaining the character of a former fishing settlement. Street markets operate seasonally, churches dating to the medieval period remain active, and the evening transformation sees bars and nightclubs activate. The nearby palm-lined beaches extend the relaxation options.

Olbia, 26 kilometres by road, anchors the region as a working city rather than a resort. Museums, ancient Roman sites, religious monuments, and contemporary shopping infrastructure coexist. The Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) extends northward from Olbia, offering some of Europe’s most photographed beach landscapes.

Practical daily life operates from proximity: a supermarket sits under 1 kilometre away, a restaurant and bar equally close. For extended provisioning or dining experiences, the options multiply exponentially within a 15-kilometre radius. The nearest airport, Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, connects to mainland Italy and European capitals via regional and international flights; ground transfer time runs approximately 45 minutes.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Families with younger children benefit from the pool’s shallow depth and the proximity of family-oriented Salina Bamba Beach. The ground-floor bedroom with garden access accommodates anyone with mobility considerations or those preferring to avoid stairs. Groups of six friends find the arrangement conducive to shared dinners but individual retreat space—the rooftop terrace and multiple garden nooks prevent the enforced togetherness of smaller rentals.

Multi-generational visits work particularly well; grandparents appreciate the accessibility and relaxed pace while teenagers occupy themselves with snorkelling lessons or boat excursions. Remote workers utilise the Wi-Fi for morning tasks before the pool claims their afternoon. Couples seeking privacy find three bedrooms sufficient to accommodate friends without anyone feeling cramped.

This is not the venue for large celebrations (under 7 guests works optimally) or those requiring nightlife within walking distance. It suits people who prefer beaches to clubs, garden dinners to restaurant queues, and swimming to dancing.
