Nice cottage in the hills near Arzachena

We stayed in this cottage for 5 days, the host Fabiana gave us a very warm welcome (even surprising us with diner on the day of arrival). Very comfortable house, beautiful view and perfect location to discover the nothern part of Sardinia.

Beautiful, serene rural retreat

An absolutely fantastic stay at Fabiana's place in rural northern Sardinia. The space is huge, very comfortable, with private outdoor space and a large veranda. While very warm (especially in July) the space was so comfortable we did not mind, and was a great place to relax, read, listen to music, with lots to do nearby, including beautiful beaches 25 mins drive away, and local fruit/vegetable shops to get food to eat out in the sun. A brilliant stay, and we'd definitely return next time we're in Sardinia

Tasteful house in a beautiful landscape

The house is immersed in the beautiful and surprisingly green landscape of the Costa Smeralda. The hostess Fabiana is very accommodating and helpful in everything. There was even a printer which was very helpful... in the evening we really enjoyed sitting on the terrace and looking out over the countryside. Although there was a heatwave, it was comfortable inside the house. Our dog loved it as well - we will come back!

Wonderful house and very friendly owner

We booked very spontaneous and got immediately response. We were spending a week with family and a dog and had a relaxing time and everything we needed. Fabiana is very friendly and gave us space and we felt welcome and home there. Everything is clean and lovely in a Bali house style with place for yoga, cooking and with a beautiful bathroom with laundry machine ! In the evening there is a wonderful view on Arzachena ! The house is sourrounded by rocks and beautiful beaches are per car in 26 to 30 minutes distance! Shops are around and beautiful old Archäologie. I highly recommend this place, we had a wonderful time there ! Fabiana tells you everything you need to now about this area including the natural spring place to get fresh drinking water. The price is also very fair thankyou Fabiana

Wir haben uns in dem Häuschen sehr wohl gefühlt. Fabiana ist eine tolle Vermieterin, hat sich gekümmert mit der Wegbeschreibung bei der Anreise und uns gute Ausflugstipps gegeben. Ein Vorteil der Unterkunft ist das freistehende Haus mit viel Platz und Ruhe. Mit dem Auto kommt man in kurzer Zeit zum nächstgelegenen Strand und zu den Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Auf unserer Rundreise mit dem Motorrad verbrachten wir eine schöne Woche in Fabianas außergewöhnlichen Haus, das sehr individuell und mit viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet ist. Alles notwendige ist vorhanden und die Lage inmitten der Macchia und Granitfelsen ist besonders. Die Anfahrt ist etwas rauh über kurze Strecken Schotterpiste und nicht ganz so leicht zu finden, aber mit Hilfe von Fabiana , die stets erreichbar war, gut zu machen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt

We hebben een een aangename week gehad in het ruime huisje dat enkele kilometers ten oosten van Arzachena staat en een fantastisch uitzicht heeft op die plaats. Een bijzonder schoon huisje met veel Balinese invloeden, dat van alle gemakken voorzien was. Fabiana, de beheerster van het huisje, sprak uitstekend engels en gaf veel suggesties voor te bezoeken plekken in de omgeving van Arzachena, dat in het noord-oosten van Sardinië ligt. Denk dan aan de Costa Smeralda, de rotsachtige kusten aan de noordkant, maar ook aan de historische overblijfselen van de oude Nouraghi-cultuur. Aan te bevelen!

Huis is heel gunstig gelegen boven Olbia. In een half uur zijn grote delen van het Noorden te bereiken. Huis ligt achteraf, mooi rustig, landelijk. De weg vanaf het huis naar Azarchena is heel slecht, door dwarsrichels. De andere kant op is goed te doen.De eigenaresse woont vlakbij. Ze laat je met rust maar is wel altijd paraat. Huis is van alle gemakkken voorzien, behalve een koffiezetapparaat. De bedden zijn enigszins hard. Er is geen airco, maar met een beetje doorwaaien koelt het wel af. Lekker buitenruimte, de kat van de eigenaresse komt som s even langs, Veel vogeltjes, de schildpad hebben wij niet gezien.

Wundervolle Ferienoase auf Sardinien

Wir haben als Paar dieses wundervolle Ferienhaus für 11Tage angemietet. Es war wirklich ein Traum. Fabiana ist eine ganz tolle Gastgeberin/Vermieterin. Sie hat uns vor unserer Anreise bereits kontaktiert und per Sprachnachricht eine genaue Wegbeschreibung vom Flughafen OLBIA gegeben. Der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Das Haus ist genauso wie in der Beschreibung. Wir waren zu zweit, aber es könnten auch noch ca. 2-3 Personen zusätzlich übernachten. Die Lage ist abseits des Massentourismus, so richtig zum Seele baumeln lassen. Der Ausblick von einer der beiden Terassen des Hauses auf Arzachena unbeschreiblich und der abendliche Sternenhimmel unbezahlbar :) Fabiana wohnt auf dem Grundstück nebenan (100m) und war für alle Fragen immer erreichbar. Auch hat sie uns zu unserem Hochzeitstag geholfen eine Tischreservierung bei einem sehr exquisiten Italiener zu machen, sowie in ihrem wundervollen Garten Fotos von uns zu machen (Fabiana du bist großartig, bleib so wie du bist!). Für die Zeit des Aufenthaltes in diesem Ferienhaus ist auf jedenfall ein Mietwagen wichtig. Dieser sollte schon etwas geländegängig sein (SUV oder Jeep ist ganz gut), denn die Strassenabschnitte zum Haus als auch zu einigen Stränden sind etwas wilder ;) Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind innerhalb von 10-12 min erreichbar und schöne Strände ab ca. 20min mit dem Auto. Wir können jedem dieses Ferienhaus empfehlen und werden bestimmt auch noch einmal wiederkommen. Fabians du bist die perfekte Vermieterin für uns :)

Häuschen im Grünen mit sympathischer Gastgeberin

Wir können uns den positiven Erfahrungen nur anschließen: Fabianas gemütliches Haus ist sehr persönlich eingerichtet und wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Das Haus liegt in einer spärlich bewohnten, sehr natürlichen Umgebung und man hat einen schönen Ausblick auf Olivenbäume und in der Ferne das Dörfchen Arzachena. Tagsüber tummeln sich niedliche Eidechsen im Garten. Fabiana war per Whatsapp immer erreichbar und hat sich rührend gekümmert, wenn wir etwas brauchten. Einziger Wermutstropfen war für uns, dass es nachts einige ziemlich aktive Hunde gab, die sich bellend ausgetauscht haben. Aber das ist wohl nicht immer der Fall. Alles in allem haben wir den Aufenthalt sehr genossen: Grazie, Fabiana!

It is a goal for me to do as much as possible for guests to enjoy their journey at the house and it is fulfilling to read your comments. Thank you. In the countryside, even from several meters far, sometimes dogs comunicate with each other. Difficult to certainty understand what they are saying 😊, but it is part of the folklorist mystery of nature. Looking forward to host you again at the house in a near future. Saluti affettuosi.
