The secret gardens of the Mediterranean scrubland between Asinara and Corsica

In Costa Paradiso, overlooking Asinara and the Bocche di Bonifacio strait in Corsica. Gazing at every sunset. Rocca Ruja is a villa hidden among the Mediterranean scrub, at the end of a closed, private road, surrounded by gardens and woods, all meticulously tended. The view of the horizon, overlooking the sea and Antonioni's Cupola, together with the peace and privacy, are its special ingredients. The class of Rocca Ruja is unmistakable.

The house
Furnished and built in traditional Sardinian style, Rocca Ruja is on two floors. The living area is on the ground floor: a large open room with large windows overlooking the outdoor terrace, complete with a sitting area with sofas, a fireplace and a dining table. Next to it is the kitchen, enclosed in a delightful alcove.
Also on the ground floor are the first double bedroom, a bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe for all your needs. This corner is a combination of art, attention to detail and style, with its ocean blue and stone grey furnishings and profiles.

Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, one double and one twin, with a separate bathroom available for both. Both rooms open onto the pleasant grove surrounding the villa.

The exterior and swimming pool
Surrounded by lush greenery and offering a unique view of the sea to the west. The partially sheltered veranda is elegant, furnished with comfortable sofas, deckchairs and a sunbathing area on the wooden patio, right in front of the infinity pool from which you can enjoy every sunset. A sheltered barbecue area at the rear of the villa completes the Domus in all its beauty.

The setting
Rocca Ruja is located on a 1,500 m² plot, in a complex with a few other villas nearby. It is situated in the upper part of Costa Paradiso, east of the village. Peace and privacy are guaranteed. A 10-minute drive takes you to the service centre with a market and all the essentials, as well as the port, from where you can walk to Cala Li Cossi or take a dinghy to the beautiful Cala Tinnari.

We are in the heart of Gallura, where Vermentino DOCG wine is produced and Sardinia's thousand-year history is revealed among hundreds of nuragic complexes and archaeological sites. Among the ancient villages and liveliest citadels, halfway between Santa Teresa and Castelsardo.

In Costa Paradiso, a unique stretch of the Costa Rossa that leaves its mark on a wild and still authentic Sardinia.
