YOUR OWN PRIVATE ESCAPE IN SARDEGNA
Morning coffee in the garden. A refreshing dip in your own pool. Long, leisurely evenings around the outdoor dining table. At Villa Gaskin, you can settle into a slower pace of life, with the beaches and historic streets of Alghero just a short drive away.
Set within 2,500m² of private gardens in the countryside near Alghero, our self-catering villa offers a welcoming retreat for up to six guests. Enjoy the freedom of your own holiday home, with space to spend time together and quiet corners for a little time to yourself.
Whether you are planning a romantic break, a family holiday or a getaway with friends, the villa brings together a peaceful setting, a private swimming pool and easy access to the northwest coast of Sardegna. Alghero International Airport is approximately 15 minutes away by car, so you can spend less time travelling and more time enjoying your holiday.
PRIVATE POOL, SPACIOUS GARDENS & OUTDOOR LIVING
The outdoor spaces are at the heart of a stay here. Start the day with breakfast outside, stretch out on a poolside lounger or cool off with a swim whenever the mood takes you. With your own private pool, there is no need to share your swimming space with other holidaymakers.
The generous gardens offer a peaceful contrast to busy beach days and afternoons exploring town. Enjoy the greenery, listen to the birds or find a shady spot to read. The paved areas around the villa and pool provide space for relaxing, while the outdoor shower is a convenient addition after swimming or a day at the beach.
The covered gazebo and outdoor dining area make it easy to spend more of your holiday outside. Gather for lunch, linger over a drink in the shade or enjoy an unhurried dinner as the evening draws in. With the pool close by and the gardens all around, you may find that some of your favourite holiday days are the ones spent at the villa.
BARBECUES, PIZZA NIGHTS & DINING UNDER THE STARS
Make the most of the outdoor barbecue and traditional pizza oven for relaxed meals together. Pick up fresh ingredients locally, try your hand at homemade pizzas or keep things simple with grilled food and a fresh salad.
There is no restaurant timetable to follow and no rush to leave the table. Enjoy a long lunch, plan the next day's adventures over dinner or spend the evening catching up with family and friends. For nights when you would rather leave the cooking to someone else, Alghero's restaurants are only a short drive away.
UPGRADED COMFORT FOR 2026
Brand-new air conditioning has been fitted throughout the villa, and newly installed solar panels are fully connected and working. Both upgrades were completed in 2026, so you can return from a sun-filled day to a cool, comfortable home.
The villa has also benefited from new doors and windows, together with mosquito screens and shutters. These practical improvements complement the character of the house and help make your stay more comfortable.
Free WiFi is available, whether you want to plan a beach outing, look up a restaurant or stay in touch with home. A television and DVD player are also provided for quieter evenings indoors.
A WELCOMING HOME OVER TWO FLOORS
Inside, the villa combines a relaxed, traditional feel with the practical comforts of a self-catering holiday home. Tiled floors, wooden details and a stone staircase give the living space its character, while the open-plan ground floor keeps cooking, dining and relaxing connected.
The lounge has comfortable sofas for taking a break from the sunshine or unwinding after a day out. The indoor dining area offers an alternative to eating outside, and the fully equipped kitchen gives you the flexibility to prepare anything from a quick breakfast to a family dinner. An oven, hob and fridge-freezer make it easy to keep favourite drinks chilled and holiday meals straightforward.
A ground-floor bathroom includes a shower, toilet, bidet and washing machine. Having laundry facilities at the villa is especially useful for longer stays and holidays with children.
UPSTAIRS SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
The first floor includes a main double bedroom, a twin bedroom with two single beds, and a spacious mansarda, an attic-style area with two double sofa beds and a single fold-out bed. A second bathroom provides a shower, toilet and bidet.
The different sleeping options allow flexibility within the villa's maximum occupancy of six guests. Please consider the layout when deciding whether the property is right for your group; the mansarda should not be treated as a conventional third bedroom.
Important layout information: the internal staircase opens into the main double bedroom, so this room forms part of the access route to the upstairs accommodation. This arrangement is worth considering if separate bedroom access and privacy are important to your party.
Because of the stairs and internal layout, the villa is not suitable for guests with significant mobility or accessibility requirements.
DISCOVER ALGHERO AT YOUR OWN PACE
One of the pleasures of staying here is being able to enjoy a countryside setting without being far from Alghero. Spend the morning by your pool, head into town for lunch and return for a relaxed afternoon in the garden.
Alghero's historic centre is full of character, with medieval walls, narrow cobbled streets and a distinctive Catalan heritage. Explore the old town, browse the shops or enjoy a stroll around the harbour before choosing somewhere for dinner.
For food lovers, the town offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh seafood and the flavours of Sardegna. Take your time over a waterfront meal, find a favourite café or enjoy an evening walk along the old town walls.
BEACH DAYS & COASTAL ADVENTURES
Sandy beaches are approximately 5km from the villa, making it easy to combine poolside relaxation with time beside the sea. The Alghero coastline offers long stretches of sand, clear Mediterranean water and opportunities to explore beyond your usual beach spot.
Discover the beaches north of town, including San Giovanni, or spend a day exploring more of the surrounding coast. For a memorable excursion, consider Neptune's Grotto beneath the Capo Caccia headland. Boat trips, sailing and diving are other ways to experience the coastline, depending on local availability and conditions.
Whether your ideal day involves sightseeing, swimming or simply finding somewhere lovely for lunch, the villa makes a convenient base for exploring this part of Sardegna.
A CONVENIENT BASE FOR YOUR STAY
Alghero International Airport is approximately 15 minutes away by car. Sandy beaches are around 5km away, the nearest supermarket is approximately 2km away, and Alghero town centre is a short drive from the property.
On-site parking makes coming and going straightforward. Car hire is available at the airport and is recommended for shopping, beach visits and making the most of the surrounding area. The villa suits guests who enjoy a peaceful base and the freedom to explore by car, rather than being in the centre of a resort.
PRIVACY & PEACE OF MIND
For security, discreet CCTV covers entrance points and outbuildings only. The swimming pool, gardens and gazebo are not recorded, so you can enjoy these private leisure areas without being filmed.
MAKE TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY YOU WANT
A morning swim before breakfast. An afternoon discovering Alghero. Fresh pizza shared outdoors after a day in the sunshine. Villa Gaskin gives you the freedom to enjoy these simple pleasures in your own space.
With its private pool, generous gardens, fully operational air conditioning and welcoming atmosphere, this is a place to unpack, unwind and enjoy time together in beautiful Sardegna.
