Sardinia

This place is beautiful. The location was great. Close to the airport and close to other surrounding areas. Having the walk out to the beach was amazing because we had the ocean at your doorstep. This was definitely a nice place to stay, we wish we stayed longer : ) the area was very safe and there was a mix of people, families with kids, honeymooners and older people etc.. Everybody was friendly. We enjoyed this stay 100% Sardinia we will see you soon xoxo

Quiet coastal getaway

The condo was clean and well equipped. It was small, but comfortably adequate for 4 adults. Off-season visit was peaceful and relaxing. The sandy beach, although public, almost seemed private! It was a quick walk to town and to the dock. Both the caretakers and the owner were easy to reach and responsive to our questions. Groceries, pharmacy, bakeries, and restaurants were all easily accessible.

Incredible!! We absolutely loved our stay at the Little Gate. Firstly, the view is breathtaking - just astounding. The grounds are beautiful and lush. The apartment was very well furnished and had everything and more in the kitchen. The location was perfect and walkable to the town. The parking was so easy and convenient. We loved the sweet cats that came around, sadly for me, they never let me pet them. Chicca, our property manager is an absolute star! She was so friendly and helpful to all of our needs and questions. She was also so responsive and we really felt taken care of. Book the Little Gate and you will be so happy you did!
Beautiful garden that looks out at the sea.

Wunderschönes Ambiente: Meer vor der Türe, kleiner Garten, Restaurants, Hafen direkt in der Nähe. Gastgeber superfreundlich, Wohnung hat alles was man braucht.Allerdings: man wird jeden Morgen zwischen 6-6.30 Uhr von den vier nervösen Hunden in der Nachbarwohnung geweckt durch ihr lautes Bellen. Und man muss darauf gefasst sein, dass morgens um 8 Uhr unerwartet der Gärtner im Garten steht und einen Höllenlärm macht. Das ist leider für uns eine ziemliche Einschränkung gewesen, trotz aller sonstigen Schönheit! Leider.

Sehr geehrte Eva, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Es tut uns leid, dass die Betten nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen haben. Was genau war nicht in Ordnung? Die Größe, die Anordnung oder die Matratzen? In Bezug auf die Küche erhalten wir normalerweise positives Feedback über die Ausstattung. Was genau hat Ihnen gefehlt? Bezüglich der Schlüssel: Da es zwei Türen nach draußen gibt, haben wir leider keine Möglichkeit, daran etwas zu ändern. Mehrere Türen bieten jedoch zusätzliche Sicherheit, was unsere Gäste normalerweise schätzen. Wir hoffen auf Ihre Rückmeldung, um unser Haus weiter zu verbessern. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Direkter am Wasser geht nicht!

Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt in dieser komplett eingerichteten Wohnung. Über den kleinen Vorgarten besteht direkt Zugang zum Strand und so kann man jeden Morgen als erstes erfrischende Schwimmübungen absolvieren. Direkt neben dem Strandv befindet sich die kleine Piazza von Porto San Paolo, wo es ein sehr nettes Café („Aqua“) gibt, außerdem immer wieder kulturelle Veranstaltungen. Es ist immer etwas los. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Quartier!

Una vacanza da sogno!

La casa si trova in una posizione unica. Il giardino accede attraverso un cancello alla spiaggia di Porto San Paolo, per gli amanti della Sardegna un posto suggestivo di fronte a Tavolara. la casa non delude le aspettative, ampia, dotata di ogni confort sia all'interno che all'esterno ma soprattutta pulita. Cenare e risvegliarsi con il sottofondo delle onde è un sogno. Persona magnifica anche la signora che ci ha ricevuti al check-in. Sempre presente inoltre il titolare, gentile e solerte nelle risposte e a risolvere i nostri problemi. Che dire... una vacanza da sogno!

Dear Mirko, thanks for your review. We would have been happy if you had given us more specific guidance on what you did not like, rather than express your disappointment at the lack of services that are not mentioned in the ad. In any case, I answer you on the merits: The house is not equipped with air conditioning as to date we have preferred a Green solution, which avoids the use of air conditioners. We are evaluating this option in view of future renovations of the property. The TV is national, but it is equipped with a ChromeCast connected to the network through which it could have streamed all the German channels. there is the possibility to use the Dekoder Sky as long as the guest brings his personal card. We are sure that the details you have reported to us have not prevented you from having a pleasant stay, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Meravigliosa!

La casa è, esattamente come si vede dalle foto, con accesso diretto alla spiaggia, comodità impagabile per chi, come noi viaggia con bambini e per garantire tranquillità e privacy. Spaziosa, curata, pulita e fornita di qualsiasi cosa, è davvero a pochi passi dai servizi principali, raggiungibili a piedi o in bicicletta. Ma il punto forte è sicuramente il giardino: spazioso e curato, fornito di lettini, sdraio e di un ampio tavolo e con una splendida vista su tavolara è diventato dal primo giorno il nostro “ristorante” preferito, considerando che molti bar e ristoranti della zona effettuano servizio di asporto. Sia Matteo che la ragazza che ci ha accolto all’arrivo sono stati estremamente disponibili a fornirci qualsiasi informazione o aiuto durante la permanenza. In breve: assolutamente consigliato!

Host profile image
Ciao!
we are Mat & Naima, brothers&sister owners of the property.We are 35 & 27 and We live in Rome.
During our youth we spent all our summers in this amazing place, from june to August.
Here we preserve precious memories, and the warmest emotions.
Tavolara, the island that dominates the view from the veranda, is in our thoughts every day of our lives .. and we live each year eagerly waiting to return here.
The thrill of spending time on listening to the sea looking this immense island has no equal in the world...
This house is our little piece of heaven, unique, will forever change your concept of vacation ...

Why they chose this property

because a paradise like that is meaningless unless it is held behind a closed door ....

What makes this property unique

From every room in the house you can hear the soft sound of the sea ...
the water is 2 meters away from the gate.
from the garden you can keep an eye on children at the beach.
The village is far from the road and the kids are free to play in safety.
East exposed to the veranda offers a comfortable shelter from the sun during the hottest hours
TV, WIFI, SKY.
