A few weeks ago I was browsing this site looking for a last minute holiday. I shortlisted a number of properties and when I stumbled upon this one I was very impressed with the photos and details regarding the property. What surprised me the most was that there was not a single review available to be guided by?!! However, we decided to go for it and have recently returned from one of our best ever family holidays.
We had never been to Sardinia but I had heard that this was a stunning island with beaches comparable to some of the best worldwide. Absolutely true! What a place! Stunning scenery, landscapes and gorgeous beaches with crystal clear sea and warm sea water!
One of the key things we had to decide on was location so after a fair bit of research I decided on booking this property in Pittulongu as it seemed ideally located for travelling to towns and beaches. I have to say Pittulongu is perfectly placed. It’s quite a small area with a couple of shops, restaurants and a small bakery around the corner but also large supermarkets about 2miles away. There is a great little beach a few minutes’ walk from the house which was perfect for us to wander down and come back when we’d had enough. There is also a couple of beach bars etc there so good for drinks and snacks. However, the bigger, better beach in Pittulongu was about a mile down the road and was absolutely brilliant with a huge beach and amazing perfect sand and clear sea. The kids loved this as they could walk and swim out a long way and only be waist deep! And finally a key thing for any holiday is the distance from the airport. The house is around 10-15mins from the airport so absolutely perfect.
The owner of the property Andrea is an absolutely fantastic guy, very friendly, was very prompt to reply to emails prior to travelling and had no problem with our flight arrival being late in the evening. We met Andrea at the Villa who gave us a full tour and thorough run through of every part of the house and how to use all appliances and electrical equipment etc.
I have to say I was blown away by the property, it is even better than the pictures. The place is brilliantly designed, very modern and has fantastic furniture throughout. It is very spacious, modern, clean and has a ‘new’ feel about it which is likely due to recently being refurbished to a high standard.
