Buying Property in Sardinia (Sardegna)


View property for sale in Sardinia

The most popular properties on this beautiful Mediterranean island are on the coast, and with magnificent sandy beaches and clear turquoise seas it is easy to see why tourists and property buyers, both Italian and foreign, favour them. Around the Costa Smerelda in the northeast, and in the chic resort of Porto Cervo in particular, property prices are very high, matching the Amalfi coast in monetary and quality terms.

Alghero is the hub of development on the west coast, a charming port from which you can travel by road or sea to a variety of resorts up and down the coast, including Stintino and Bosa. In general, the northern coast is better developed than the south, and property prices are cheaper at the southern end of the island.

Inland there are examples of the derelict farmhouses so fondly coveted by overseas property buyers on the Italian mainland, and again prices for this kind of renovation project are very favourable on Sardinia. If prices seem too high on the coast in your favoured area, look just a little further into the hinterland and properties become notably more affordable.

With the odd exception, property for sale in Sardinia is not as expensive as property for sale in Sicily. As yet, tourist numbers do not match those on Sicily and those that come are predominantly Italian – it’s still largely unknown to the British but with good, low-cost services to two of the island’s airports, there is potential for growth to this exceptional Mediterranean jewel.
