A big thank you to Paolo and his father who were excellent hosts. This is a great place to stay in order to visit all the wonderful beaches. The accomodation is very clean and tidy - cannot fault whatsoever
Also a big thank you too John who took Sandra and I out on his boat for her birthday - a wonderful day.
Best beach for us was Tuerredda beach near Capo Spartivento - crystal clear waters.
We will definetly be going back!
Thank you Paolo - Sardinia is a great place
see you soon

We spent a week at Villa Primavera in June 2009, we had the best time. Paolo and Efisio were so kind and helpful, we could not have wished for better accomodation. The Villa is so peaceful it was wonderful to sit on the balcony listening to the birds, the garden is beautiful, a credit to Efisio. We loved Pula, Chia beach and Nora beach. The Roman ruins were more than we expected, we did not realize how vast the site was. We did not travel far due to the state of the tyres on our rental car, (mental note to check tyres on car at the airport next time). The weather was fantastic. We will be back!

Ciao Paolo, greeting from Edinburgh. Just wanted to thank you and your lovely dad for the wonderful hospitality shown to us on our visit. We had a great week, felt really relaxed on our return and are looking forward to doing it all again next year! Your apartment was perfect for us in every way and spotless. I have recommended you to many friends who hope to come over in the near future. We had everything we needed on the doorstep and thank you for kindly agreeing to pick us up at the airport and take us back. Next time we will organise a car before we come but glad we got one for the week so that we could take in all the beautiful beaches.
Great time and thanks again for everything.
A presto

Hello Paolo - greetings from Ray in Oxford and Marion in Sydney! Thank you for looking after us three or four weeks ago. Our week in Sardegna was lovely and relaxing. I took hundreds of photos and we are smiling in all of them! The beaches are amazingly good, the crystal clear air was also very refreshing and the abundance of wild flowers was also wonderful and unexpected. Neither Ray nor myself have ever been to Sardegna before and we figured that it was worth a return trip! So next time we come, we will remember to avoid Easter Sunday unless we have brought some supplies with us!! Thanks for helping us out! For the benefit of anyone looking at this, we really enjoyed the coastline and travelled both west and south from Villa San Pietro. We also ventured a little inland into the mountains and they are certainly spectacular. There is much to see and do on your lovely island. Gracias from us both!

This was our first trip to Sardinia and we loved it!

This was our first trip to Sardinia and we loved it! We found the accomodation on the internet and weren't sure what we were going to find - but we were not disappointed. Mansarda was perfect for what we needed with our 8 month old baby clean and safe and located in a lovely little local street close to Pula. Paolo made the week all the better by being so welcoming and offering friendly advice about the island. It was also reassuring to have Paolo's family so close if you needed to ask them anything! A car is a must though - the coastline and beaches are beautiful and we would definitely like to come back at a later time in the year when it's warmer.

This is definitely a little oasis that deserves a return visit.

Overall Very Satisfied
Would recommend to a friend or family: Yes
Paolo and his lovely family made us so welcome that it felt like being at home, only with far better weather! This was our first time in Sardinia or indeed, any Italian-speaking area and Paolo's family are fluent in Italian and English, which was a great relief! We hired a car, which was a definite plus, once we'd got the hang of driver/passenger in reverse. Helpful hint: keep driving documentation with you as the Italian police are keen on spot checks!
The island of Sardinia has some stunning scenery. Although only able to visit for 4 days, we managed to see the wonderful coves and beaches along the south coast, especially Chia, the flamingos, the Roman ruins at Nora, the quaint little town of Pula, the fascinating capital Cagliari and round the mountain on the other side of Cagliari, the wonderful coastal town of Villasimius - the Carbonara Restaurant is excellent - but don't miss the beach either.
The lovely Ponente apartment is ideally situated - less than half an hour from the airport by car if you obey the speed limit of 50 km. There is so much to see locally that you are pushed to 'see it all' in the space of a week. This is definitely a little oasis that deserves a return visit.
Thank you Paolo for your help, good humour and encouragement throughout our stay.
Very best wishes,
Sue & Andy Vickers

What a great place to get away from it all. The apartment was perfect for the three adults who fancied a change of scenery. We were able to be completely self sufficient if we chose but we mostly opted to try the local restaurants - totally fab! We really enjoyed sitting in Cagliari beneath the January sunshine - try one of the many coffee bars on Via Roma for a cup of hot chocolate (chocolate soup really, I became totally addicted).
The nearby beaches are spectacular and the local town of Pula is really quaint. We would recommend hiring a car to fully appreciate the real beauty of the island and to stop off at the many, many beautiful beaches and lovely little rural villages and towns.
Our host, Paolo, was really great. He had such a good knowledge of both the local area as well as places further afield. We really appreciated being able to use his knowledge in order to make the most of our time in Sardinia.
We had a great time visiting Sardinia and can't wait to come back again in the summer. We plan to take advantage of Paolo's contacts and friends who own yachts and charter them out to groups in the summer. We will be booking with Paolo again as the villas are so well maintained and clean that we could not wish for more - and he seems to know some really great people!!

We had a lovely time here last year. Great place to stay especially with a child, Paolo and family were good hosts. fabulous beaches nearby especially at Chia, also near to Caligari (we have family there and an easy trip to make for a day). A car is essential though to get around especially to all the fabulous beaches.
