Stayed in Apartment: Ponente around 17-02-2009, visiting from United Kingdom for about 4 days.
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
