Nestled off the main Italian coast into the seaside resort town of Porto Cervo lies an estate fit for a queen. After all, the area in northern Sardinia was developed by Prince Karim Aga Khan in the 1950s. The almost six acre compound boasts multiple living quarters, a heated pool, and a tennis court which are all embedded into the landscape just as architect Jacques Couelle intended. And, if that doesn’t take your breath away, the unobstructed panoramic views of the bay and old-town marina definitely will. Many may never see it, but thanks to Sotheby’s International Realty, villa II Forte’s majestic waterfront estate is for all to see. Price available upon request.
