NB: A double-twin bedroom has two single beds that can either be joined together to create a double bed or left separate as two single beds.

Inside

accommodation at Cabanna is laid out over two separate levels.

Taking inspiration from its surroundings – acacia trees, rolling dunes, a golden beach and sparkling seas – Cabanna is a camouflaged, wood-clad haven where the lines between indoor and outdoor living vanish into the leafy surroundings. Inside, sunlight filters through the foliage and dapples the sandy-coloured walls and bamboo ceilings; steel-grey flooring morphs with the metal frames surrounding the banks of floor-to-ceiling glass doors; artfully designed contemporary light fittings are juxtaposed by summery, frayed rope lamp shades; and a discreet mix of artwork and Sicilian bibelots pique the interest. The resulting atmosphere is one of pulse-slowing, lazy tranquillity.

The hub of the home is an open-concept communal space laid out over two levels. Above, is the stylish kitchen, which features bamboo-clad cabinets, black work surfaces, a charcoal grey island with a cylindrical steel extractor fan, a cast iron breakfast table and chairs, and a wall of windows opening out onto the terraces. A couple of steps below is the living area, which is furnished with a large, well-cushioned, built-in sofa, a pair of easy chairs and a console. On three sides, walls of glass open up to allow a seamless connection with the surrounding terraces.

A door to one side of the kitchen opens into a double-twin bedroom with en-suite shower room and access to a long terrace running along the side of the house.

Next to this is a double bedroom, which may be accessed either via the double-twin (thanks to a lockable communicating door) or independently from the terraces. It too has its own en-suite shower room.

The last bedroom, meanwhile, is located on the first floor and accessed via an external flight of wooden steps. It too is a double and has a glazed shower room, and a separate WC. Although a little smaller than the other bedrooms, and with less storage space, it does have its very own panoramic terrace amidst the canopy of acacia trees.

Outside

the interiors of Cabanna spill outside at every opportunity via walls of glass doors which open up completely to allow a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

In keeping with the overall aesthetic of the property, the al fresco areas feature decked terraces and wide wooden boardwalks that wrap around the house on three sides. Most open-air action (or lazy inaction) takes place on a wide expanse of shady terrace outside the living room, where there is a well-furnished sitting area, and a convivial dining table. A wooden structure nearby is home to a barbecue and cooking area, an outdoor shower and guest WC.

Dotted around the grounds, beneath and between the acacia trees are strategically placed sun loungers that allow everyone to find their own peaceful spot in which to relax, read or snooze.

The bedroom on the first floor has its own panoramic terrace, but where the very best views are concerned, one should head up the external wooden steps to the divine roof terrace. With its well-cushioned wraparound seating, its views out over treetops to the sea, this is a most sociable space in which to come together, chat and toast the sunset.

As if all this weren’t enough, Cabanna has yet more magic up its sleeve: a wooden boardwalk weaves through the acacia grove for about 50m until it arrives at the garden gate. Beyond this is a scene of extraordinary natural beauty that incorporates the dunes, the golden sands and the azure waters of Costa dell’Ambra.

Due to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.

Because of natural changes to the coastline from season to season, the sandy beach in front of this property may not look as it does in the photos.

Please note that the beach in front of this property can get busy in July and August.

Please note that this property is located in a residential area and therefore has neighbours.

Please note that this villa does not have a pool.

Cabanna is situated next to farmland that is sometimes used for grazing sheep
