Jean Johansson is house hunting around the coastal town of Olbia on Sardinia with outdoor sports enthusiasts Katrina and Colin. They’ve been coming to the island for 18 years and would ideally love a holiday home big enough for them and their three grown-up children to enjoy. With a budget of £135,000 they’re hoping Jean can find them perfection, and she’s ready for action with five great options, but will any turn out to be their dream property?
About the area
In this episode Jean is house hunting in the north of the island - you can catch a direct flight from the UK to Olbia airport in under 3 hours. Hugely popular with British tourists in the 1960s, Sardinia is enjoying another boom with more and more people attracted to its mountainous landscape, sweeping golden beaches and crystal blue sea.
In fact, Sardinia really has become the playground of the rich and famous with the likes of Tom Hanks, Beyonce, and the Kardashians all spending time here. The north has some of the island’s best sunbathing spots, making up what’s known as the Emerald Coast.
