About
Leontine

I help you turn your own Dolce Vita dream into reality.

From a personalized travel experience to a second home or a spectacular wedding celebration.

Bed & breakfast, boat trip, or bridal party? No problem.

I’ve got the knowledge and the connections in Sardinia.

And I use them for you.

Ciao!

Vivendo La Vita!

Your dreamhome

Looking for the perfect spot for a holiday getaway or a second home?

Benvenuto! You’ve come to the right place.

I know Sardinia like no one else.

With years of experience in both real estate and travel – and as someone who lives and works on the island –
I have the right contacts across the largest island in the Mediterranean to guide and inform you just a little better.

And what could be more reassuring than a Dutch native who speaks seven different languages?

For rent: my own Lodge

I personally designed and built my lodge, Sogno Sperduto.

It’s tastefully decorated to make everyone feel completely at home.

This is my happy place under the summer sun, with plenty of shade and endless summer evenings.

A peaceful oasis, where you can still truly see the stars.

If you’d like to rent it, you can.

You’ll truly unwind here.

(Re)Treats in Sardinia
Your time to live, relax, and grow!

Do you also feel like you’re constantly rushing through life?
Always there for others, but sometimes forgetting to truly live for yourself?
Do you long to escape the daily grind and deeply enjoy life again?

VivendolaVita believes you deserve that!
Live your life — don’t let life live you.

I do this best through Dolce Vitality Days on the island where people live the healthiest and happiest lives: Blue Zone Sardinia.
Just a two-hour flight from the Netherlands, but a world away.

Why in spring?

During high season, I work my tail off — just like everyone in the service industry here, from hosts to restaurants and car rentals.
Summer in Sardinia is beautiful, but also busy and hot.
Outside of the season — when I’m happiest myself — the island is calm, the air is fresh, and there’s space to breathe and relax.

That’s the time to recharge, detox, and refuel your energy.

Whether you come alone, with a friend, or as a family, I offer several retreat options in spring.
Three completely different experiences, but all set on my beloved island, just beyond the famous Costa Smeralda.

And if you prefer to create your own path, I offer “Beyond Emerald” DIY building blocks:
carefully selected accommodations — from my own Hideaway Holiday House to boutique B&Bs and happy hotels.

All with my best local tips to help you make the most of your stay.

Coming along?

I look forward to meeting you during a time of deep relaxation.
Let’s recharge together, enjoy the moment, and maybe change just a little bit.

Ciao & see you in Sardinia!
Leontine

Things to See and Do in Sardinia

26 April - 3 May

Drawing & Painting in Nature

Creativity and relaxation come together during this special painting week guided by Dutch artist Marianne.

We’ll be staying with Simone, who offers charming cottages with panoramic views, a large outdoor pool, and delicious homemade meals.

The week includes a variety of techniques, sketching in nature, and informal evaluations at the outdoor restaurant. And when the weather allows — we move our sessions to the beach!

I’ll add a Sardinian touch with:

✔️ A visit to local artists for extra inspiration
✔️ A trip to a local market to find unique materials
✔️ Delicious meals: pizza at a cozy pizzeria and fresh seafood at a trattoria by the boulevard
✔️ Optional: an unforgettable boat excursion to the UNESCO-protected La Maddalena Archipelago

Since this is early in the season, we kindly ask participants to bring a sunny spirit!

Don’t forget your swimsuit for a first dip, active wear for a walk along the beach, and a flexible mindset — we might mix things up spontaneously depending on the weather.

31 May - 7 June

Seven days, seven activities

Recharge with an Active Week Full of Variety!

An Italian team offers a fantastic blend of movement, relaxation, and healthy food.

You'll stay at an authentic Agriturismo, lovingly hosted by Monica, a Sardinian kitchen queen who surprises you each evening with her delicious creations.

Each day brings something new:

Mornings: Yoga, meditation, and pranayama
Afternoons: Windsurfing, sailing, SUP, and beach acroyoga
Evenings:
– 4x enjoying Monica’s homemade dinners
– 3x dining out: a trattoria by the harbor, a cozy village pizzeria, and a beachside restaurant

I’ll be there all week to join in and enjoy every moment with you!

27- 31 May (optional extension possible)

Meditation and silence retreat

This is a unique opportunity to truly reconnect with yourself.

In a small, quiet village in Sardinia’s Blue Zone, you’ll spend four nights in complete peace and stillness.

Fully offline – free from distractions and obligations.

This retreat is all about deep relaxation, reflection, and connection with nature.

Afterward, you can choose to extend your stay – or unwind by the coast, closer to the airport, to gently transition back.

What a perfect match!
Léontine — I met her at an art exhibition — has been living in Sardinia for years! She connected me with the perfect location for my workshop and took care of everything around it: transport to a wonderful seafood restaurant, a visit to a charming local market…..

She even brought us to hidden gems with my participants — like dining at the home of a Sardinian woman, also an artist.

Léontine knows Sardinia like the back of her hand, and I kept being surprised in the best possible way.
Such extraordinary weeks — absolutely priceless!
