Villa Licia – A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Porto Rotondo

In the vibrant heart of Costa Smeralda, just steps away from the exclusive center of Porto Rotondo, stands Villa Licia, an extraordinary property designed by renowned architect Gianni Gamondi. Masterfully built within the ancient granite rocks of Porto Rotondo’s old quarry, this unique villa seems to emerge naturally from the stone, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment and offering a perfect harmony between architecture and nature.

Porto Rotondo is one of Sardinia’s most prestigious and enchanting destinations, beloved by artists, entrepreneurs, and aristocrats from all over the world. Founded in the 1960s by the Counts Donà dalle Rose, Porto Rotondo has grown into an elegant seaside village, distinguished by marble-paved piazzas, haute couture boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and one of the most beautiful marinas in the Mediterranean. Its strategic location between Olbia and Golfo Aranci, combined with its proximity to Olbia Costa Smeralda International Airport, makes Porto Rotondo easily accessible and ideal for both short stays and long summer retreats.

Nestled within this exceptional setting, Villa Licia is positioned at the highest point of the quarry, offering breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Cugnana to the island of Mortorio. Thanks to its elevated location and expert integration into the natural landscape, the villa remains practically invisible from the road, ensuring maximum privacy and tranquility for its guests.
