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.

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.
