Description A Pearl in Paradise: Porto Cervo

If you thought Dubai was the ultimate playground for the super rich, then you clearly haven’t been to the Costa Smeralda. This magnificent slice of coastline in the north of Sardinia is where Versace-clad A-listers and billionaires spend it like Beckham – so why not join them? This extraordinary home is a seconds away from Porto Cervo, the heart of the glitz and glamour. Its design is understated but – of course – still extremely luxurious, with cream furnishings and bold artworks. Check out the intricate stone seashell light feature in the living room and the statement ceiling studded with driftwood. Quirky wooden ceilings are clearly a thing here because the glorious balcony boasts a curved wicker canopy to keep out the rays (and give your Gucci sunnies a break while you’re checking out that sea view). Talk about living La Vida Moda.
