Gallura – North Sardinia
The Villa is located in an oasis of peace and quiet, far from hustle and bustle, surrounded by nature and offers the maximum in privacy and discretion. It is set in a private garden of about 5,000 square metres amidst typical Mediterranean trees and extends over 190 square metres (90sqm + 100sqm covered veranda) on three floors with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms; together with the delightfully comfortable dining room and kitchen with sink and worktop in fine granite, the picture is completed with the imposing stone-clad barbecue, pizza oven and spacious veranda with private swimming pool overlooking the cool fresh countryside and the Golfo dell ‘Asinara.
The villa, its guests, Nature and all its elements can breathe together, enjoying a sense of wellbeing at any time of the day or night. Enjoy the simple pleasure of lying down on a lawn dotted with tiny wild flowers, reading in the shade of centuries-old trees or relaxing by the pool. If the weather permits, you can eat outside on the terrace.
In a clear and open dialogue with its natural elements, Villa EnGa is a masterpiece of environmental sustainability thanks to the choice of attractive and traditional materials ranging from wood – central in the canon of new sustainable architecture – to magnificent white marble from Orosei, granite and hand-wrought ironwork, all from Sardinia. Even the furniture which completes the elegant simplicity of the interior from the flooring and furnishings in Cerasarda and the ceilings with exposed beams is in harmony with the enchanting tradition of the island’s skilled handicrafts.

The lights in the garden and the parking area come on automatically at 20:00 and go off at 01:00 in the morning: Guests may set the time manually who prefer.
BOILER
The hot water system uses gas and works 24 hours per day so there is no need to turn on the electric boilers in the bathrooms which are there only in cases of emergency.
WATER
The Villa is equipped with 2 water systems, one for irrigation and a well.
Water used in the irrigation system is not drinkable and is connected to one pump located near the barbeque and two others in the garden. This water is not drinking water and should only be used for watering the garden or cleaning external areas.
The Well
Water from the well is drinkable and is used in the Villa. However, being in the country, it is better not to drink it, although it is perfectly good for cooking, washing and general cleaning.
The Villa also has a 3,000 litre cistern.
TOILET/SHOWER/WASHBASINS
As the Villa is in the country the drainage system uses a septic tank. In order to avoid blocking it and creating any inconvenience during your stay as well as extra costs incurred through resolving problems, please respect the environment and do not dispose of sanitary towels, napkins, or anything other than toilet paper down the toilets.
Please also pay attention to the drainage systems of the sinks, bathrooms, kitchen and outside spaces.
GARDEN
The garden is irrigated every night.
Once a week the gardener will come to cut the grass and attend to the plants.
SWIMMING POOL
As the swimming pool is for the exclusive use of the Villa guests (on request and extra charge lifeguard service); the pool is cleaned once a week (extra cleaning can be carried out on request and for an extra charge). The technician will come at least once a week to check the pumps and carry out general maintenance.
The water in the pool is disinfected using a new salt electrolysis system which is certainly healthier than putting chlorine directly in the water. Unlike chlorine this system will not irritate the eyes and has no unpleasant smell.
