- from Olbia airport (distance to house about 20km) or from the ferry port (point "A" on Google map) in Olbia take SS 125 in direction of Palau (the road from the airport crosses under the river in a tunnel to join the road from the port)
- after the tunnel continue on SS 125 for about 20 km (dont turn right to Costa Smeralda or Porto Rotondo) until you see the county sign of "Arzachena" (about 500 m following the Ristorante Shergan on the right and the polo field on left - about 4 km before the town of Arzachena) and continue for about 200m downhill where the SS125 turns left (if instead you reach a large roundabout you are too far ahead - turn back on the SS125 for about 300m and turn left)
- turn right (at point "B" on Google map) and continue on a small bitumen road for about 200m (follow detailed map below Google Map)
- take the first right and continue on a narrow and steep cement road uphill.
- After about 300 m following an uphill right and left turn you see the house featuring a large terrace in the front (picture below) on the left
- You have arrived!
