The Unique Village of Porto Rafael

This small village is a jewel nestled on the North East coast of Sardinia's Costa Smeralda, with pink/white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. (The water is so clear that the locals call it Piscinas - which means "swimming pools").

It enjoys a number of local amenities including a 24 hr private guard service which ensures maximum security for all residents.

All the village houses and villas of Porto Rafael are built in a way that totally respect nature and they are carefully dotted around the hillsides, hidden in the Mediterranean bush and stunning, almost sculptured Sardinian rock.
