Iâve stayed at this villa four times now, and Iâll be back again this summer! This villa is truly amazing with great views of the beach! It is a just literally a step from this amazing beach! The property itself has great amenities, and the pool is great addition. If you are looking for a villa right on the beach, then look no further. This place is amazing, and you wonât be disappointed!
What a beautiful week we had at Villa La Belle Etoile! The villa is a space like no other with beautiful stone walls, walkways and areas to relax and enjoy the Sea view. The beach is steps away and it is everything you dream of in a Sardinian beach, sandy, warm water and crystal clear. The villa is kept in impeccable condition by the team who care for it. We were pampered daily by delicious food and exceptional service from a team that anticipated our every need including our very young grandchildren. Thank you for a week we will always remember and cannot wait to repeat.
The property blew all of my expectations out of the water. Unbelievably gorgeous, relaxing, pristine and full of local warmth. Every room is meticulously cared for and the love that has gone into the property shines through. The pool is incredible, overlooking the ocean. Direct beach access. The owners and staff were full of fabulous recommendations and were accommodating to every need and request. This was the absolute number one property that I have ever had the pleasure to stay at. Wonderful for family gatherings, friend vacations, romantic getaways -- really anything. HIGHLY recommended! Thank you for a once in a lifetime stay!

Beautiful private property directly on the beach
I have been there both during summer and in the winter offseason....Loved both experiences which were very different...The property feels secluded and private and is beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. The beach was pristine in the summer with crystal clear waters for my daily swim. The property/gardens were well maintained as was the pool. I will definitely be back and give this house my highest recommendation
Our stay La Belle Etoile far exceeded my expectations. I kept saying to my group how unique and special the entire experience felt. We were a small group, but it would be fun to go back and rent out all the rooms with a big group.
The staff was lovely and incredibly accommodating. We were able to work with them to make the most of our trip. And speak both English and Italian
The prepared meals were delicious and clearly made with incredibly fresh ingredients. You eat outdoors at their group table, with a view of the whole villa and the beach.
You have your choice of the beautiful pool or running down to the beach and swimming in the sea. We took advantage of their paddle boards, though the day we tried, the waves were a little big for our skill level!
Overall, it was a lovely stay that I would highly recommend!

Beautiful property with infinity pool!
Beautiful property with infinity pool and beachfront access. The pool and lunch terrace were our favorite spots in the house. Great experience, especially for a big group of people; lots to do on property including ping pong, yoga, sunbathing, swimming and charming dining area for long meals!

Beautiful and Luxurious Oceanfront Property
This us a beautiful property right on the sea, just steps away from crystal clear water and a white sandy beach. We had a lovely time here for a week last summer. The meals were very fresh and delicious. The owners were very friendly, attentive to details, and went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful stay. The house itself is very well-maintained and lovely. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a relaxing and luxurious vacation in Sardinia!

Bellissimo
One of my favorite places to vacation. What could be better than a summer vacation in Sardinia? A Sardianian vacation at Villa La Belle Etoile. The location, villa, professionalism...everything is over the top. I would highly recommend Villa La Belle Etoile to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. I am dreaming of my next trip. Grazie mille!

Amazing experience
Staying at the Villa has been a tremendous experience. The location is amazing, the staff very nice and the villa itself is unbelievebale. You won't find this kind of houses anywhere else on the island.
I definitely recommend to stay there
It was one of the most amazing summer vacations i had here at La Belle Etoile. David, the owner and his amazing team were extremely professional, friendly and detailed oriented. From the airport pick up, to the delicious meals and they level of assistance they provided whenever i wanted was more than i could have asked for. The property itself is such a gem. Nested right on the beach and surrounded by beautiful palm trees, we even had our own private access to the beach. They had paddle boards to borrow as well which we utilized almost every morning before breakfast. We then lounged right by the infinite pool overlooking the beach the rest of the day with a good book and some of the delicious local wine that the staff recommended. I highly recommend this place if you want to be treated like a royalty in a beautiful villa.
I will write it short as it turned out to be our stay there as well. We left on the second day instead of staying a week. The interior was, sorry to say that, dirty, even the piano was covered by dust and the sofa in the living room was full of some hairs from a dog, I guess. The whole house is very obsolete. The beach is actually rocky not sandy at all as it looks on the pictures. All the pictures are significantly "improved" by the Photoshop. I believe there no need to say anything else...
Villa La Belle Etoile is a special place in Sardinia. I've traveled to a lot of places in Europe and been to a lot of beach properties around the world and have to say, this villa has a magical appeal. You instantly feel at home. There are many areas of the villa that bring a different experience to every day of your stay, for example:
- You'll want to spend all day at infinity pool that overlooks the sparkling blue bay. Also, the hammock next to the pool makes for a nice siesta.
- If you're looking for a quiet escape and shade, you can take the steps leading down to the beach, and to the left you'll find a cooling and calm area under the trees where you can enjoy your book, take a nap and relax.
- Then there is another area with lounge beds and umbrellas where you can catch-up with friends, take a break from the sun and more.
- If you venture to the bay, you'll love the crystal blue waters where you can paddle board, kayak or just float and relax. I thought Turks and Caicos had the bluest and clearest water but this bay is a super closer contender. I loved every bit of it. It's nice to go for swim in the day but also, right before sunset. You'll spend the day going in for a plunge several times.
- The rooms at the villa each have a unique design and theme all creating a different experience. You must tour each room to feel thoughtful design that was put into each room.
- The outdoor dining area is magical for apertivo time and dinners. You'll spend hours here enjoying Aperol Spritz, Sardinian wines and snacks. The view at sunset is stunning and memorable.
Overall, Villa La Belle Etoile has the best location and your experience will feel authentic to the Sardinian culture. You will leave happy and wanting to come back soon again. I know I will.
So, I am in two minds about writing this review as this place is such an undiscovered treasure and I would love for it to stay that way! However, our hosts worked so hard and deserve great feedback, so here are some thoughts after my recent week-long stay.
The must-dos:
1. Swim to the edge of the infinity pool and gaze out over the calm bay.
2. Take a morning yoga class poolside and feel energized all day.
3. Walk down the beach to the beach bar for afternoon coffee and gelato.
4. Take a paddle-board or snorkel to discover the local under-sea sculptures.
5. Enjoy a leisurely Sardinian feast under the bougainvillea trees at the long dining table.
6. Tour the property and hear the unique history behind each of the rooms
7. Take a massage in the underground massage room with portholes into the pool (um, amazing)
Some things to keep in mind⊠The villa is set directly behind the beach, popular with local holiday-makers in the summer. I guess if you are looking for the private beach scene it wonât be for you but our group loved it. I would have liked a few more outlets in the rooms and would recommend packing a power-board if you must use a lot of devices. Or you could, you know, un-plug for a week.
Do yourself a favor and treat yourself and your family to a week at this unbelievable villa - you wonât regret it!
The photos do not begin to capture the beauty of La Belle Etoile. The property is stunning with each view of the ocean more picturesque then the next and the property is immaculately maintained.
Our room was large and extremely comfortable. The air got quite cold at night and I could have used an another blanket on the bed. Other than that the accommodations were terrific. Our room had a very large bathroom with a hot tub and shower which were great.
Each morning we began the day by stepping out of the house and onto the beach for a morning swim. The water was beautifully clear and clean. After a morning swim we enjoyed laying by the infinity pool with cocktails and afternoon massages. Absolutely perfect.
The personal chef at the Villa is wonderful and each meal was more extraordinary than the next. The food was all local and extremely fresh with amazing homemade pasta making an appearance here and there throughout the week.
This was, by far, the most wonderful vacation we have taken. No detail was missed and Nathalie and Dave were incredible hosts. We will surely visit again.
This first picture doesn't even do La Belle Etoile justice - this place is stunning. You feel like you are in a total oasis surrounded by these purple flowers that make you feel like you are in some Blue Lagoon movie. I've never stayed so close to the beach before and to be able to just grab a paddle board and hit the water was such a treat. The thing we were most struck by was how VACATION this felt, we didn't have to lift a finger. We got to request the food we wanted to eat (I believe the tomatoes in Italy are made of magic), the rooms were so charming and anything we wanted was organized for us - even flyboarding (try this, easier than it looks). The only thing I would say is that if you need anything, the nearby stores are open at weird hours, it may be tough to get anything you might have forgotten immediately. Not much TV to be had (which I happened to love, but was tough for others) so make sure to pack your Netflix subscription too. Highly recommend, especially for big groups - we had 18 in our party and this place was a great fit.
This beautiful sea front villa was the perfect summer spot. Situated in the bluest bay with a great beach - La Belle Etoile will not disappoint!
It can host a large group comfortably (we were 18 people), with tons of fun group activities, but you can also find those intimate moments with your special someone, such as enjoying a romantic sunset or trying to count the endless stars in the sky, without feeling surrounded by people! Our room was lovely (we could have used more towel hooks) and very cool to sleep in during the hot summer nights.
The personal chef of the Villa is the cherry on the cake... delicious and fresh at every meal, with a great wine selection to choose from. Can't wait to go back!
We were a group of 15 that included teenagers and young adults as well as parents.The location is idyllic as you are right on a beautiful beach with a pool that is only yards from the sea. Everyone was able to find a spot to relax and get away if needed as their are plenty of private nooks throughout the property. Nathalie, David and the staff they have at the villa are fantastic. They looked after our every need. The meals that they prepared at the villa for us were the best of the trip. Make sure to take advantage of the yoga and massage services that they can bring in for you, they are top notch. Rent this villa, you will be thrilled you did.
I went 3 times to Villa La Belle Etoile. I felt like home! The villa, the view, the surrounding is amazing! I love hearing the sound of the ocean when I wake up! The chef always makes delicious food with local products and their selection of wines is definitely one point!!
The staff is very helpful and give you space. My favorite spot is the swimming pool and the clear water beach is only two minutes away, great for a photoshoot!
We had a wonderful stay at Villa La Belle. All the family thoroughly enjoyed it and Nathalie and David made us very welcome. The food was delicious cooked by our own chef. Nothing was too much trouble. Suitable for all ages. A beautiful infinity pool which the children just loved and right on the beach wonderful. Will definitely like to return.
We had a most wonderful stay for our large family at the lovely sprawling Villa La Belle at Torre Delle Stelle. The friendly faces of Nathalie and David were ever present to help us and to quickly sort out any issues. Marina's cooking was wonderful, and authentic, while the rest of the staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. We loved the large infinity pool, and the fact that the villa leads directly onto the beach. Not ideal for toddlers as its quite rocky and steep, with the pool unprotected, but an extra "babysitter" was quickly arranged to watch the little ones. All in all, a great holiday!
Wow the villa is great and the food is excellent. The children loved it, the pool and beach on your doorstep. The food sourced and cooked locally by Marina and the team must be the best in Sardinia. Philippe the owner, offers a warm welcome and great local knowledge. Its like being in a bond movie...........regards Colin, Kirsty, Megan and Emily.....
We spent a week last october 2013 in this wonderfull villa.
Location on the beach is definitly the best.
Great pool, ping pong, tennis court really close to the villa...
Outstanding dining, thanks Marina!!!!
The owner is a really friendly and welcoming man.His only aim: " make your vacation the best ever..."!
We'll come back next year for sure!
