Holidays. Vips and millionaires choose Sardinia
Italy, Olbia (OT), June 2019 – Sardinia confirms its position at the top of the premium tourism charts. It is, in fact, on the island that the villas and properties most in demand by VIPs and millionaires from all over the world are concentrated. Among the most sought-after properties in Italy, managed by Engel & Völkers, a world leader in the intermediation of residential and commercial properties of the highest quality and with a yacht and aviation division in the premium segment, as many as 40% are located in Sardinia. A medium-sized villa in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, when the summer season reaches its peak, can cost hundreds of thousands of euros a month.
“There are at least 150 luxury villas, in the Costa Smeralda alone, on the official market, but the number rises a lot if you think of all those villas, always available for rent, but which for obvious reasons are often very private and not advertised – explains Daniela Ciboddo, owner of Engel & Völkers Costa Smeralda – It is important to understand, however, that luxury renting is a business that has exclusive customers but is at the same time a real opportunity to run the entire economy of the territory and create a broad induced. In fact, those who come here on holiday, taking a villa for rent, always ask for a series of additional services such as the presence of specialized staff: cooks, gardeners, personal trainers, etc..”.
