Homes in the island region of Italy include a three-bedroom villa in the Costa Smeralda, a traditional stone house in Muzzeddu, and a nine-bedroom estate on 62 acres.

This three-bedroom, three-bathroom villa is perched on a hill in the hamlet of Pantogia, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea on the northeast coast of Sardinia.

Pantogia, about a mile from the resort community of Porto Cervo, is in the heart of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda, or Emerald Coast, a 35-mile-long coastline offering attractive beaches, pricey hotels, golf and tennis clubs, marinas and other luxuries. While there are accommodations in Pantogia, the closest area for shopping and entertainment is Porto Cervo.

Nearby recreational activities include sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving, and the region offers ancient ruins and Bronze Age stone structures called nuraghi to visit. The Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport, which has some international flights, is 20 miles south.

Indoors: The three-story villa was built by the prominent French architect Savin Couëlle, whose prolific work in Sardinia has helped define the look of the Costa Smeralda. The ground floor has a living room opening to the pool area, dining room, kitchen and a small bedroom with a bathroom. The space and hallways have the wide, swooping arches mimicking cave interiors characteristic of Mr. Couëlle’s homes.

Each of the villa’s upper floors has a bedroom with a private terrace with sea views and an en suite bath with diamond-shaped tilework. The interiors are whitewashed and the ceilings have massive log beams.
