Escape to Alghero: Your Private Villa with Pool, Lush Gardens & Air Conditioning
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.
Located in Alghero, this villa is in a rural area and near the beach. Coral Museum and Casa Manno Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Butterfly House Sardinia and Circuito del Corallo. Discover the area's water adventures with jet skiing and kayaking nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with horse riding and cycling. Visit our Alghero travel guide

The most amazing holiday, The Villa was Amazing, Pool and Garden were so lovely to stay round each day. Alghero is beautiful. Well worth a visit and would come back to this property again next year.
Beautiful location in the country. Lovely garden/pool area. Villa amenities perfect.Would highly recommend.Alghero is a stunning port town with great restaurants & night life.Would recommended Andregas restaurant on port wall.
Amazing private and peaceful stay - beautiful Sardinia!
We had a great few nights here as a couple. It would easily have accommodated another couple or family. Beautiful grounds and very friendly and warm hosts. We loved this part of Sardinia and the villla was a great location for heading into town or taking a drive to several areas. Also great for just relaxing one day by the pool! The overall experience was like a cozy summer cottage and we would recommend to anyone who appreciates that rustic charm. Thank you Matt, Lizzie and Giulio!
We had a great week - the outside area is perfect and was clean and tidy. Pool was glorious and again very clean.
The 'caretaker' was very responsive and extremely helpful for when we needed taxis or for any questions we had.
Possibly better for a family, not great sleeping arrangements for 3 grown up couples!
Lovely and quiet and away from the busy nearby town but not too far away for lovely eateries and shopping!
Would love to come back
We had just two fantastic weeks at this lovely place which is really a small paradise. The house and the garden are amazing and much better than the pictures on the internet. The garden is huge and our dog loved it playing araound. There are many other dogs and he even made friend with one.
The pool is huge and we all could use it at any time we wanted, even in the night because of the light. There is also regular cleaning of the pool by Giulio who is also available at any time you need him.
We have been 4-5 people at this place and the space in the house has been enough.
We all would stay again at this place and hope that many other people can enjoy it.
We recently stayed at Villa Gaskin, and it was an unforgettable experience. The villa is available for holiday rentals year-round, accommodating up to 6 to 8 guests.
Here’s what we loved:
Stunning Pool Area: The private pool area was nothing short of paradise. Crystal-clear waters, comfortable sunbeds, and lush surroundings made it a perfect spot to unwind.
Well-Equipped Facilities: From Wi-Fi (a rare find!) to towels, utensils, and even Netflix, Villa Gaskin had everything we needed. The barbecue and covered seating area near the pool were delightful.
Idyllic Location: Although it feels like you’re deep in the countryside, the villa is just a 5-minute drive from Alghero. Pro tip: Get directions from the owner to avoid any navigation hiccups.
Overall, Villa Gaskin felt like a home away from home. We’ll definitely be returning if it’s available next time! 🌟🏡"
If you’re planning a peaceful and tranquil holiday, Villa Gaskin in Sardegna is an excellent choice. You can find more information on their website: Villa Gaskin.
Rating:
Exterior Pool & Garden: 5/5
Outside Dining & BBQ: 3/5
Interior Living & Kitchen: 3/5
Bedrooms: 3/5 (with 4 persons, 2/5 with 6+ persons)
Accessability: 2/5 (not suited for the disabled)
Pros:
Very nice exterior of the house, big garden surrounded by hedges
Nice big clean pool
Julio the property caretaker is really friendly and helpfull and keeps the grounds in a great
condition
All windows had mosquito covers so you could leave the windows open
The location is great being within 5min of supermarkets and 10mins of the Algero old town
Beds are comfortable
House interior was clean and tidy
Cons:
Not suitable for disable persons, far to many steps with no guide rails
The main bedroom is open with the stairs leading right though it, i.e. you have to go though the
bedroom to get from the other bedroom to the kitchen/living room area
There is no door from the kitchen to the upstairs bedroom so don't cook anything smelly
Not sure how the house is to sleep 8 people, at least not comfprotably.
Living room area is suited for 5 people at a squeeze not 8, 1x 2 seater + 1x 3 seater sofa
No satilite TV, you can only cast to the TV and watch what DVD are available in the house
There is only 1 main double bed bedroom (a touch misleading from the online photos)
If sleeping 6 people the hallway upstairs tuns into a bedroom, beware there is very little privacy to
be had in the house
The BBQ are is essentially just a big stone pit, takes very long to get any reasonable heat into it

Amazing relaxing hidden gem
What an amazing place the pool makes all the difference. The gardens are beautiful and the villa has everything you could need for a relaxing enjoyable holiday.
We went for 2 weeks and could have stayed more. only went to beach twice as the pool area here was so beautiful who needs the Sea!! Facilities are excellent and well equiped, will defo come back next year. overal fantastic value for money. it was a quiet out of the way haven, loved every minute.
We have stayed at this villa before and always found it to meet all our expectations. The Villa is always very clean with all the amenities you could ask for. The pool is lovely and private with a beautifully shaded gazebo along side. We recommend this Villa as highly as we can. We will be back again very soon.
We wanted a break to have peace out of the town. this was perfect yet only a 10 min drive back into the stunning Alghero port town. Villa had all the amenities you need and of course a pool. will definitely be booking again next year. Thanks Matt.

Relaxing Chilled Out Villa
The villa is situated about 10mins from the old town of Alghero, Far enough out to be really quiet and relaxing but closer enough for the wonderfulbeaches. The villa has a very large Garden of about 2500square metres and is a real sun trap. We visited a number of towns around the North west and this is an ideal base to explore from. We would highly recommend to any visitors to Sardinia
The pool is very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. We didn’t love being video-taped all the time. There were 4 video cameras on the outside tracking every movement, only sparing the pool. The bathrooms are a bit old. Everything was super clean. The person taking care onsite was super nice.

What a Gem - quite relaxing
We came across this villa while browsing the Internet. The owner is wonderful and replied to our enquiries very quickly. The villa is located outside the main town of Alghero so is ideal for a quite relaxing break from the normal stress of staying in a town. The villa has everything that is needed and is only a short drive from the main town. We will stay here again with no hesitation. Mike and Mandy
Very clean and comfortable. The gardens are large, green and lovely and the pool very nice during the hot July days... The house is small, but well equipped: lots of towels and bedding available, complete kitchen. Some maintenance required: upstairs bathroom toilet did not properly work and the reading lights in the bedroom were broken. Giulio, who manages the property, was polite, super helpful and always available. We mentioned these minor needs to him, so I am confident it will be fixed.
The house is located outside Alghero and has a large garden with a modern and clean swimmingpool.. The house fits well for a 6 person family with 3 sleeping rooms. If you don't mind to pick the car, it takes around 15 minutes drive to visit Alghero. For those that wants to sit at home all day, one can watch television as there is a big screen in the living room. The set up is a little bit strange as the shower is nect to the living room / kitchen and the open kitchen is rather small. Further, when coming from the swimming pool you need to go the other side of the house to enter the house. Further, two pieces of canvas have been put in the garden which limits your view on eg the swimming pool. All in all we enjoyed the stay.. Many thanks

Wow Wow Wow
Very nice and helpful owner he contacted us within 1 hour of our first enquiry with this place. Matt called us and explained everything we needed to know. The villa is well looked after and kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The agent he uses in Sardegna is also very helpful and understanding. This villa is a must, it is situated just outside the town so you get the relaxing peacefulness of the countryside yet closer enough to visit the main Old town of Alghero every night. The trip in took us no longer than 10 mins by car. The garden and grounds are very private and well managed by a local gardener.
The villa was clean and well equipped as a family of 4 this was an ideal house for our needs. The bedrooms and kitchen etc were all very clean and looked after well.
Overall, highly recommend and good value for money. Owners were very nice to deal with and provided info pack with good recommendations.
We really enjoyed staying here as a family of 4 (2 kids under 10). It was our first villa experience and it provided all we wanted - peace & quiet, privacy and relaxation. The kids were fully occupied with the pool and inflatables most of the time, but then happily worked through the DVD library when they needed a break from the sun. We ate outside for most meals, but there was space inside too. We all slept well, with aircon and fans helping keep us cool. The check in was smooth, the pool was maintained during our stay and it was easy to get in touch with Liz if we needed anything. Matt was extremely helpful when we had flight problems and has ensured that the villa has everything you could need, including towels, parasols for the beach and plenty of kitchen equipment. The villa is only a short drive from the town and multiple beaches, although we only went out a few times as it was a very busy week when we stayed (mid August - Assumption Day festivities). It was easy to find and not far from other towns to visit, such as Sassari. We would definitely recommend it.
Es hat uns alles super gut gefallen! Der Außenbereich ist ein Traum und nach Alghero sind es höchstens 10 Autominuten! Gulio ist unser Ansprechpartner vor Ort gewesen und war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend!Es waren sehr erholsame zwei Wochen und wir können die Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen!
Die Villa nebst Grundstück und Pool befinden sich in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist gut. Der Pool wird durch den vor Ort tätigen "Hausmeister" regelmäßig gereinigt und gewartet; auch sonst hat der lokale , freundliche Ansprechpartner jederzeit ein offenes Ohr und hilft gern.Das Anwesen war insgesamt sauber.Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig sind die in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft wohnenden Hunde, die jedenfalls auf unseren Zweibeiner äußerst ablehnend und mit entsprechendem Knuren und Bellen (durch den vorhandenen Zaun) reagiert haben. Nach einigen Tagen hat sich aber auch dies gelegt.
Die Villa war perfekt für unsere Bedürfnisse. Der Pool hat insbesondere den Kindern viel Spaß gemacht. Die Lage in der Nähe von Alghero war sehr gut für Ausflüge in die Umgebung geeignet Einzig die Aufteilung der Schlafmöglichkeit hätte etwas besser sein können. Insgesamt empfehlenswert!
