The booking process was very smooth and Mercedes was very quick to come back to us with answers to our questions. We were a party of 14, 9 adults and 5 children. Mercedes was very helpful in terms of recommendations with restaurants and things to do, such as hiring a boat to explore the Alghero coast line. Having not visited the area before having this advise and guidance was invaluable and for this we are extremely grateful to Maria as without this guidance we would not have had the holiday and experiences we had!
The villa was as described, clean and very adequate, however there was no oven and this should be noted in advance. There was no kettle but a quick message to Mercedes and this was immediately sorted.
The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable with good wardrobe space and the air conditioning was excellent and was very welcome. Each bedroom has its own ensuite and towels and even a hairdryer are provided for each bathroom.
The kitchen space was adequate and had everything we required. Perhaps this is an English thing, but some bigger cups would have been good. That said, the coffee machine was a big hit and even coffee pods were provided! There are 2 kitchens, 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs, and 3 fridges in total.
The gardens in the villa space were huge, giving the feel of real seclusion and the pool was great and cleaned and maintained daily. There is also a large BBQ area and lots of seating for outdoor dining.
The go-kart track and club opposite the villa was really handy and became our “go to” venue when short on food and drink. The guys there were very helpful.
A car is needed, however Mercedes provided us with a very reliable taxi minivan who was fantastic and was readily available whenever needed, and went above and beyond for us, making bookings for as and making phone calls for us when we needed someone who spoke the lingo.
We would thoroughly recommend Villa Mariposa and would absolutely return again.
