The villa is lovely and the ever-changing view fantastic. Our family of 6 rented for a week and enjoyed every minute- even watching the rain over the ocean for a brief time one day. The rooms are well appointed and the mattresses comfortable. Valerio could not have been more accommodating. Although tucked away in a private setting, there were numerous fun restaurants within a 15-minute drive. Don't miss the Wednesday family night dinner at Ristorante Genn'e Mari for the ultimate Italian immersion dinner. There are numerous lovely beaches in the area- some with amenities, some without, and it is close enough to Cagliari for a day trip or two.
The kitchen is small and not really suited for cooking big meals, but the fresh pasta, some salad, meats, cheeses and bread from the GSA market next to the restaurant (see above) will be easy to do, along with breakfasts and simple lunches. The oven in one level below in the poolside kitchen. Another comfy chair or two in the living space would be nice. We brought in patio chairs. Our family group plays cards, drinks wine and chats until the late hours and made great use of the spacious lounge.
The owners met us when we arrived. Their son Valerio was very helpful and all made us feel welcome. Valerio cheerfully answered phone calls and emails promptly, arranged for a cab to the airport for part of the group who had to leave early and arrived at 6:30 am with a smile on his face see us off the morning we left. Warning: roads in that part of Sardinia are often narrow, steep, winding, dirt washboards, but this is probably what has allowed it to remain quiet and secluded.
