We had a fantastic time staying at Villa Paola just as the main summer season ended this year. The house is well cared for, fully equipped with everything you possibly need and tastefully decorated - a perfect home away from home. The view from the terrace is like nothing we have ever had in a holiday home before, truly stunning, and whilst the location is high up on monte nai you are down by the sea in little more than 5mins by car. As the property is safely fenced in, we had our 2.5 year old running around the house and gardens without having to worry. Down in Costa Rei and the surrounding villages you find plenty of well stocked supermarkets, bakeries, fruit/veg sellers and bakeries, so no need to venture further out south to Villasimius or north towards Muravera for supplies, unless you feel like. The area is so full of amazing beaches and landscape that you will be hard pressed to choose where to spend the day, we particularly enjoyed nearby Piscina Rei (great for swimming), and heading down south Cala Pira, Cala Sinzias and the famous beaches of Villasimius - all perfect for small children as well. Communication with the owner was fast and very pleasant, and Lidjia - the lovely lady looking after the house - was very helpful and caring. We would absolutely recommend staying here, you won't regret it. Frank, Agata & Livia, September 2017
