While we’ve certainly spent a lot of time extolling the virtues of Stateside luxury real estate, you’ve probably noticed in recent months that we’ve started to cover high-end international properties as well. That’s because we know you enjoy your time off, whether it be to Dubai or the Iberian peninsula or Marrakesh. Maybe an Italian island villa will pique your interest?

Italy topped the list of luxury getaways for 2017, knowing this, we decided to find you one of the best options available in the country via Sotheby’s International Realty.

Located in Porto Rotondo, a seaside village on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, the property has sweeping views of the mysterious, uninhabited island of Mortorio (part of La Maddelena Islands). Built in the 1970s with a castle-like stone facade, the seven-bedroom and six-bathroom home consists of just two levels—but a range of amenities on both. The layout includes a living room with a fireplace, dining room, guest bedroom, and three verandas. There’s also a semi-open patio, which doubles as another open-air living room.

But the real draw here is the secret garden in the back that you can literally get lost in (it includes its own built-in irrigation system and lighting, so you’ll never have to water it, or have trouble finding your way back to the main house at night).

The price of the property is available on request. To contact the listing agent, click here. Take a look at a few more images of the home below (including that view and garden).
