Sardinia has always been a destination that inspires dreams and ambitions to a very high-profile audience. This is confirmed, once again, by the conclusion of the sale of a prestigious villa in Romazzino, on the Costa Smeralda, one of the most important in Sardinia and throughout the Peninsula.
The sale, signed by Italy Sotheby's International Realty, has caused a lot of talk for the valuation of the property which has exceeded 160 million euros, thus certifying the villa as the most expensive on the Costa Smeralda and in all of Italy.
Located in one of the most iconic locations in the Mediterranean Sea, the estate is a symbol of a way of living devoted to excellence, where every detail has been designed to give a superlative experience. It is a residence of rare beauty, designed by architect Luigi Vietti, purchased in the seventies by Henry Ford, grandson of the famous founder of the car brand, then sold in 1974 to Ahmed Zaki Yamani, former Saudi oil minister and now sold to an international buyer with an operation signed by Italy Sotheby's International Realty.
A new standard for the premium real estate market
The property is located in the Bay of Romazzino and extends along 350 meters in front of the sea, on an area of 2.3 hectares, with two private beaches set among the granite rocks. Second in value only to Villa Certosa, the famous summer residence of the Berlusconi family in Porto Rotondo, it includes 2 private piers, 3 heated swimming pools, 28 bedrooms and 35 bathrooms. All surrounded by large and lush gardens, verandas, terraces and panoramic views of the crystal-clear sea.
The record amount with which the transaction of this property was concluded establishes a new benchmark within the sector, confirming the vocation of some areas of Italy to become real international reference points. This important operation, which positions the Romazzino villa as the most valuable real estate property on the Costa Smeralda, could create a driving effect on a market where the offer, by definition, remains very selected. The elite housing market, in fact, goes beyond pure economic evaluation: it is a world in which the quality of the living experience, the history of the place and the suggestions of the territory play fundamental roles in defining the overall value.
The timeless charm of the Costa Smeralda
Sardinia is the ideal destination for an exclusive holiday and for those who want a retreat in which the relaxation offered by the seascapes is combined with a living experience in line with the highest international standards. The Costa Smeralda is renowned for its transparent sea and coves set between granite rocks. From Porto Cervo to Porto Rotondo, the entire coastal strip is a crossroads for sailors, boating enthusiasts and travellers fascinated by the Mediterranean atmosphere. Famous since the sixties as a meeting point for international personalities, the Costa Smeralda has never stopped renewing itself, while preserving its original character and authenticity intact.
In this extraordinary natural setting, the residence that has broken all records overlooks a stretch of coastline that combines intense colours and scents typical of the Mediterranean scrub. Terraced gardens, private beaches and a boundless view of the horizon: these are elements that alone tell the priceless value of this jewel. One of its strengths is the obsessive care in architectural design, conceived to integrate harmoniously with the surrounding environment. The design combines materials typical of the area – such as local stone – with cutting-edge technologies that ensure comfort and total privacy. Large windows and large common areas dialogue with the nature outside, creating a constant feeling of continuity between the interiors and the landscape. Each room reveals the desire to enhance natural light, enhancing the aesthetics of furnishings and finishes of great value.
How to find your way around buying high-quality properties
The recent sale on the Costa Smeralda embodies an exclusive way of life, in which the domestic dimension blends with the natural wonder of one of the most popular territories in the world. This record sets a benchmark that goes beyond the purely economic sphere, as it reflects Italy's ability to preserve and enhance places steeped in history and identity.
