Around the house
Want to enjoy privacy? There is a cozy guest room just a few steps down from the main house. It is perfect for late sleepers or those putting the finishing touches to their new novel or movie project.
Flower and bird aficionados will love this place. The house is situated on a hectare of nearly impenetrable machia land. Around the house and the pool you will admire beautiful mediterranean flowers, from Bougainvillea to Gardenias. Explore a bit further, and you will find the machia is the perfect breeding ground for rare birds and insects - paradise for you and your children.
Jog to San Pantaleo
Joggers bring along the Nikes! A 4 km run through the hills starts just above the house and ends in San Pantaleo, a quaint little mountain village. During the day you will find the village elders sitting in the shade involved in endless discussions.
San Pantaleo market
Thursday morning is farmer’s market at San Pantaleo, where you can buy the lot, from delicious ingredients for your next meal to a wide selection of locally made colorful fabrics, antiques, art or jewelry. During “Happy Hour” the village square wakes up after the hottest part of the day - join the locals for a refreshment on the Piazza next to the church. More on the Thursday market at San Pantaleo in this YouTube video.
Beaches

Maddalena archipelago
Nearby Cannigione or, further north, Palau are perfect to start exploring the Maddalena archipelago and “Parco Marino”. Located between Corsica, the breezy Boche di Bonifaccio and the northern tip of Sardinia, this beautiful stretch of deep blue sea and small islands can easily be visited on a one day sail boat cruise. Deserted powder-white sandy beaches and dunes such as the "Spiagga Rossa" at Budelli (shown above), sculpted rock formations a rich fauna and flora shape this largely untouched landscape.
If sailing is not your thing a visit by ferry to Maddalena and Caprera islands and the Garibaldi museum is an attractive alternative. Check this Quicktime video clip for a teaser.
Pevero Golf
Pevero Golf from Klaus Huber on Vimeo.
Pevero Golf is a real gem. Built by Trent Jones this 18-hole championship course surrounded by Machia and the island’s most stunning beaches has all it takes to keep you on your toes: long up and downhill drives, nasty dog-legs, plenty of water and sand bunkers protecting the greens and, never to be ignored, a stiff Maestrale breeze. You will find a hole by hole description of the Pevero course here or enjoy the video clip above.
The devil wears Prada
Need to make up for a round of golf you had all by yourself at Pevero in the morning? Then take your spouse for an afternoon stroll to Porto Cervo, the mekka of Gian Franco Ferrer, Gucci and Prada. It's not for the faint hearted and a real challenge to your credit card, but it is well worth your while. Watch this to get a first impression of what Porto Cervo is all about.
