Vogue's Top 9 Design-Forward Airbnbs in Sardinia

Vogue has curated a list of nine design-forward Airbnbs across Sardinia, Italy's underrated island known for its emerald coves, centenarian population, and yacht-club glamour. The selection ranges from a restored traditional stone farmhouse (Stazzu Pittorra, from $539/night) in Santa Teresa Gallura to a luxury home curated by a Sardinian artist (Dimora LAJ, from $1152/night) in Cagliari's historic center. Other highlights include Mario Cescare Cottage in Gergei, a creative sanctuary honoring the original artist-owner; Magic Garden in Solanas, a mid-century villa with arched French doors and cobalt blue accents; and Domus delle Stelle 2 in Pula, a traditional-style home with a private pool bordering a nature reserve. The list also features Villa Antisa in Solanas with a pool overlooking mountains, Fascino Antico in Baunei with antique furnishings, Casa Orosei in Cuglieri with a hand-carved marble bathtub, and a one-bedroom guest house sharing a property with Fascino Antico. Each property emphasizes authentic Sardinian design elements such as limewashed walls, wooden beams, colorful tiles, and wrought-iron furnishings, while offering modern amenities like WiFi, dedicated workspaces, and fully equipped kitchens. The article underscores Sardinia's unique appeal beyond typical Italian destinations, combining wild beaches, whitewashed hill towns, and farmland with local cuisine and wine.
