Porto Cervo, a seaside resort along Italy’s Costa Smeralda on the island of Sardinia, is exactly what it was intended to be.

The central town and surrounding swath of the Emerald Coast were founded by Prince Karim Aga Khan and investors beginning in the 1960s as an upscale tourist destination. The development became a favorite of the international jet set as a place to play and stay.

Now, a home designed in the 1970s by renowned architect Luigi Vietti is for sale in Porto Cervo. Later renovated, this waterfront residence maintains the original façade and characteristic red tile roof. With a total of five bedrooms and six bathrooms, the interiors use granite, terra cotta, wood and marble. The property contains the nearly 4,900-square-foot main villa with a central patio, swimming pool and separate 750-square-foot guest or staff annex.
