House description Villa Nodu Pianu Bianca

Villa directly on the sea near Olbia

Villa Nodu Pianu Bianca is half a semi-detached house in the exclusive and quiet complex Nodu Pianu. The panoramic terrace overlooks the ocean and the rock island of Tavolara. The white beach Nodu Pianu with its crystal-clear water is an authentic snorkelers’ paradise - only 400 m away. Within a few kilometers there are more dream beaches waiting to be discovered. There are shopping options and restaurants in the neighboring towns of Pittulongu and Bados (c. 1.5 km away), and also in Golfo Aranci, a tranquil vacation locality with a small port. Another popular option is an excursion to the cosmopolitan Costa Smeralda with the chic marina of Porto Rotondo, or to the vibrant little city of Olbia (10 km away).

Villa Nodu Pianu Biana is your vacation house on Sardinia, if you...

... are looking for a stylish villa at a quiet location
... would like to be close to nature, and at the same time close to the action
... would like to have a dream beach within walking distance

Captivating beach villa with panoramic view

Enjoy the beauty of Sardinia: Villa Nodu Pianu Bianca is half a semi-detached house in the exclusive and quiet complex Nodu Pianu. The stylish and ample living quarters open on the large-scale panoramic terrace. Enjoy the superb view of the vigorous ocean of Sardinia’s north coast - and of the fragrant junipers and olive trees in the garden! And then climb down on the stone stairs through the evergreen macchia to the ocean below.

Good to know: Villa Nodu Pianu Bianca is the south half of the semi-detached house Villa Nodu Pianu Verde. Both halves of the house offer sufficient privacy due to their ingenious architecture: they are mirror images of each other and can be rented either separately or by two families who want to vacation together.

Traumhaus direkt am Meer

25.06.2024 | Elke Bader

Wir hatten das Haus zusammen mit unseren Freunden aus England gemietet. Es schien uns geeignet, da es nur 20 Minuten Fahrt vom Flughafen Olbia entfernt ist. Bei Ankunft offenbarte sich das Haus als das perfekte Feriendomizil, von dem man am liebsten nicht mehr weg möchte. Ein Traum! Geniale Lage, super Ausstattung, drei Badezimmer, vier Schlafzimmer, gemütliche Betten. Die Terrasse , umrahmt von Oleander, ist herrlich.. Ein kleiner , beinahe privater Strand lädt zum Schnorcheln ein. Super sauberes und glasklares Wasser und jede Menge Fische. Strandschuhe sind empfehlenswert. 350 Meter weiter ist dann noch ein größerer Sandstrand. Man braucht ein Auto wie überall auf Sardinien. Nicht weit ist ein Supermarkt namens Isa, klein aber fein.. Die Betreuung durch die Agentur war toll. Das Manual ausführlich und liebevoll zusammengestellt. Vor Ort bekamen wir dann noch von den Besitzern tolle Tipps für Restaurants und Weingüter. Wir waren durch WhatsApp mit ihnen in Kontakt. Zum Schluss fuhren sie unsere Freunde auch noch zum Flughafen. Alles einfach rundum gelungen. Wir buchen hier sehr gerne wieder.

Komfortables Haus direkt am Meer

01.09.2022 | Linnenberg

Das Haus liegt direkt am Meer mit eigenem Zugang zu einer Stein-/Felsküste. Es ist hervorragend ausgestattet und sehr gut geeignet für Personen, die gerne schnorcheln und nicht dringend einen Sandstrand brauchen. Es gibt zwar einen Sandstrand in Fussweg-Distanz, aber dieser war zu unserer Urlaubszeit (Ende August) doch eher überfüllt. Wir (4 Erwachsene) haben die grossartige Aussucht von der Terrasse und auch das tägliche Baden und Schnorcheln sehr genossen. Für Familien mit kleinen Kindern ist es möglicherweise weniger empfehlenswert.

Eine wunderschöne Villa mit toller Terrasse und bester Ausstattung in der Küche. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Toller kleiner Kiesstrand vor der Tür, Sandstrand zu Fuß gut zu erreichen. Auch mit Kindern eine perfekte Unterkunft. Die Beratung bei der Buchung von Frau Krupper war Spitze. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub.

Beaches

Nodu Pianu, Pittulongu, Bados

Nodu Pianu opens on a spectacular stretch of coast, just north of the Gulf of Olbia, which includes the towns of Pittulongu and Nodu Pianu up to the imposing profile the Capo Figari overlooking the Gulf of Golfo Aranci. This stretch of coast just south of the Costa Smeralda is characterized by pink granite rocks and splashes of Mediterranean green bushes, overlooked by the fascinating profile of the island of Tavolara, peaking out of the sea in the south east. On the beaches there are restaurants and bars, and you can rent chairs and beach umbrellas. Because of its proximity to the city (the villages are less than 5 km from the outskirts of Olbia), the two beaches tend to fill up, especially on weekends.

jump to map

Spiaggia Bianca

The white beach is located on the road from Olbia to Golfo Aranci. It is a beautiful beach with clean and clear turquoise water. The beach is about 100 metres long and is bounded laterally by two rock jetties. Behind the beach are dunes leading to the Mediterranean scrubland. In summer, the beach can become a little crowded as it has a lido.

jump to map

Baia Caddinas

Near the centre of Golfo Aranci is the Baia Caddinas beach, which has fine white sand and clear water. The beach is well equipped, and it is possible to rent sports equipment. You can also walk to a small tourist port.

jump to map

La Quinta Quarta e la Spiaggia (the fourth and fifth beaches)

The fourth and fifth beaches are not far from the village. These two beaches have fine sand and turquoise water. On the seabed you can see a mixture of sand and stones. There are also the banchi di Posidonia, a refuge for small fish. The two beaches are separated by a small bank of rocks. At the end you can see the Capo Figari and the island of Figarolo, picturesque spots for nature lovers.

jump to map

La Terza Spiaggia (the third beach)

The third beach is located along the main road and is one of the most beautiful beaches in this area and can therefore become a bit crowded. The beach has fine white sand and overlooks the emerald green sea. As the water is very shallow for a long time, you can enjoy the magically transparent water. Furthermore, from here you have beautiful view of the island of Tavolara that majestically emerges out of the horizon. The lido offers a bar and is well equipped with beach chairs and beach umbrellas.

jump to map

La Prima e Seconda la Spiaggia (the first and second beaches)

Golfo Aranci's main beach is accessible from the main street to the city hall. It is one of the largest beaches and has bright, fine sand and crystal-clear water; it has a partly sandy, partly rocky seabed. Furthermore, one has a great view of the gulf and the island of Tavolara. The beach is well equipped with various kiosks and a free parking. The location is perfect because of its proximity to restaurants, pizzerias and the town centre. The second beach can also be reached from the main road, or alternatively by climbing over the low granite cliffs. This beach is smaller and partially equipped with beach chairs and beach umbrellas.

jump to map

Cala Sabina

The beach of Cala Sabina is located near the roundabout at the entrance of Golfo Aranci. It is a beautiful beach of white sand and clear, shallow water. The beach is surrounded by juniper berry trees and Mediterranean shrubs. There is a kiosk that offers various services and a car park.

jump to map

Cala Moresca

The beach lies east of Golfo Aranci towards Capo Figari it is not accessible by car. The walk through the nature reserve is about 2.5 km long.

Hotel Cala di Volpe

A further example of the Costa Smeralda's architectural style is the famous Cala di Volpe 5-star hotel, which was finished in 1963. Here the architect Jacques Couëlle managed to recreate an oasis from "Thousand and One Nights', which is particularly impressive for the design and special layout of the hotel bedrooms - they all have a panoramic view of the sea, yet they are barely visible from outside. The hotel lies on a bay of the same name, Cala di Volpe, at the southern end of the Pevero Golf Club golf course.

Stella Maris church

The small church above the Porto Cervo marina was designed in 1969 by the architect Michele Busiri Vici.

Giants Tomb Coddu Vecchiu

The giant tombs are the largest pre-Nuragic cult sites in Sardinia. Like the great rock tombs, they are monuments of the ancient culture of the Nuragic civilization, the Bonnanaro culture. Coddu Vecchiu is one of the most impressive giant tombs from the Nuraghi period (1800-1600 BC). The actual tomb is almost 11 metres long. The central trench plate, which is over 4 metres high, is the largest one found in Sardinia. From Arzachena take the SS 427 towards Sant'Antonio di Gallura-Calangianus.

Cities and towns

Golfo Aranci

Golfo Aranci lies in front of Capo Figari and overlooks the Gulf of Olbia. From Golfo Aranci to Olbia stretches a low, regular coast with small bays and beaches with fine sand. One of the peculiarities of the village is the old fishermen's settlement by the sea, with the colourful little houses and fish shops, where you can buy fresh fish all year round. In the Via Libertà you can find many nice shops with handicrafts and typical products, especially during the summer months.

Porto Rotondo

The luxury resort of Porto Rotondo and the marina of the same name (Porto Rotondo means "round-shaped port") were founded by two Venetians in 1963. Great importance was placed on the harmonious integration of the architecture with the rocky landscape. The town is picturesquely arranged around the sophisticated marina. Although Porto Rotondo no longer officially belongs to the Costa Smeralda district, there are almost as many VIPs among the villa owners as in Porto Cervo - Silvio Berlusconi among them, with his summer residence, Villa Certosa. As far as luxury boutiques, exclusive restaurants and clubs are concerned, there is no shortage.

Olbia

The modern and lively town of Olbia was known as “the happy town” by the Greeks and is world famous for its close proximity to the Costa Smeralda. It stands on a wide natural gulf whose perimeter is defined by the splendid islands of Tavolara and Molara. The Costa Smeralda airport lies in this area and continues to record increasing numbers of tourists every year. San Simplicio is celebrated on the 15th of May every year with a solemn procession, fireworks, poetry contests and a large mussel festival. Events worthy of note in the summer are the “Week of International Folklore” with all kinds of musical, theatrical and film events and also the Feasts of the Madonna del Mare and San Giovanni Battista. Bados, Baia Corallina, Gavrile, La Peschiera, La Playa and Rena Bianca are some of the area's most beautiful beaches (sardegnaturismo.it).

Porto Cervo

Porto Cervo is a lively centre of the Costa Smeralda, the exclusive holiday coast is famous for the hustle and bustle of the rich and the international jet set since Aga Khan discovered this wild landmark in the 1960s. Large car parks, elegant shops and sophisticated scenery determine the townscape. A stroll to the harbour to admire the most beautiful yachts of the Mediterranean is compulsory.

Arzachena

The community's includes more than eighty kilometres of sea coast including the world-famous Costa Smeralda, rich with Mediterranean shrub, rocks modelled by nature and wonderful inlets and bays. In 1962, a small group of international entrepreneurs, headed by Prince Karim Aga Khan, set up the Costa Smeralda Consortium with the aim of developing tourism in the vast area of the Arzachena territory, comprising the present coastal band which stretches from Liscia Ruja to Liscia di Vacca. In this area a number of high-class structures were gradually built, attracting an elite kind of tourism. Visitors to the town will certainly be attracted by this clean and well cared for centre, full of green spaces and little squares. Its proximity to the Costa Smeralda means tourists can go shopping in the town centre not only for typical Sardinian products but also for luxury and sought-after goods. Archaeology: Lu Coddhu 'ecchju and Li Loghi giants’ tombs, Albucciu Nuraghe and Temple of Malchittu.

Baja Sardinia

Sheltered by a wide cove with crystal-clear water and ultrafine sand, Baja Sardinia is one of Gallura's most popular destinations for swimming and vacationing. It is a fantastic starting point for excursions by boat to the neighbouring island archipelago of Spargi, Budelli, La Maddalena as well as along the Costa Smeralda. The underwater world around nearby Capo Testa is one of the ten best diving areas in the world. The caves are shaped by gigantic granite boulders that are partly covered with red corals (corallium rubrum). The region of Gallura is also a paradise for cyclists because of the ups and downs of the narrow country roads where, all of a sudden, a view of the sea or a tiny country church appear out of nowhere. But Baja Sardinia also has plenty of nightlife. "Ritual," one of the top 7 discos in Europe, and numerous piano bars as well as events with singing, dancing and shows on Baja Sardinia's Piazzetta provides plenty of entertainment during the high season.(sardegnaturismo.it)

San Teodoro

The territory is mainly hilly, in fact the only mountain is the huge granitic mass of Moltinieddu, characterised by clear torrential streams ploughing through the valleys, with impressive waterfalls and panoramic terraces that overlook the sea.
