This was our first holiday in Sardinia and it won’t be our last! The five of us thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay in Malamuri. We found the ground floor apartment was as it was described...new build, three good sized double bedrooms, great showers in the two bathrooms, very well equipped kitchen and a comfortable living area but the best was the outside dining area and the fantastic pool! We booked the apartment because of the pool and were not disappointed. It is a great area for relaxing in with a cold beer, reading and cooling down after a day at the beach! The position keeps the sun until late into the afternoon, my favourite time of the day! We travelled with 3 older teenagers who all enjoyed bobbing on inflatables and 'chilling' in the pool! Its not a large pool but perfect for what we wanted.
A car is essential to give the opportunity to see around the region. The property is about half an hour drive from the airport and easy to find. The local supermarket is well stocked and convenient for essentials, however, we found better value at the MD supermarkets in the local towns.
If it's a beach holiday you are after, you wont be disappointed! So many to choose from. We went as far north as Baja Sardinia (we dropped the 'youngsters' at Aquadream water slide park and found some great beaches along from 'Phi' beach) and south to Santa Lucia (much quieter than Budoni, San Teodoro or Brandinchi which are all worth a visit) . Don't miss a drive out to Port Cervo to look with envy at the yachts in the harbour! However, we also enjoyed our evening visits to Porto Ottiolu only 10mins away for evening meals at harbour side restaurants.
The local restaurant called Symposium serves very good food and is not expensive. Definitely worth an early visit as the bonus is it has WiFi to satisfy our teenager social media cravings! I even managed to still get a connection from there whilst sat around the apartment pool.
One highlight was hiring a RIB with a 40hp outboard from Porto San Paolo. An afternoon spent swimming in the crystal clear waters off the island of Molara will be a long abiding memory.
A great holiday!
