The Island, the location, the villa, the infinity pool, the comfy beds, the quality of the towels & bed linen, the amount and range of kitchen equipment, the garden, the coffee machine, the weather, the friendly people, the tortoises - all perfect :) We seriously didn't want to go home. Arrived stressed, left chilled...
The house is very private, it is easily large enough for 9 people and has all the facilities you need. The welcome on our arrival provided by Paolo and Georgio, not to mention their generosity in letting the sailors, James and Tom, move in a day early, set the tone for our holiday.
The pool is beautifully clean and well kept. The views are just stunning, whether looking out to sea or inland at the magnificent rocky outcrops. There are several outside areas to sit and eat and there is a large roof terrace where you can just soak up the views. The villa is situated well off the main road down an unmade track and the entrance is through a solid wooden electric gate. There is a carport for two cars, plenty of grass areas, pretty flower beds and lots of areas to sit and find plenty of solitude if you want it. The pool area is magnificent and the newly purchased two floating 'bean bags' meant you could sit on the water and float above the coast below you, reading, sun bathing or just drinking in the views. While we were there we had full sunshine, great temperatures and occasionally a wind that was beautifully cooling when the temperature reached into the high 20s / low 30s. The nearest beach was a very short drive away but we preferred to walk down to the coast for a swim in the sea and it took less than 30 minutes (mainly on paths/unmade roads/quiet side roads). The nearest town, San Pantaleo, was about 5 minutes away where there is a small supermarket, plenty of places to eat/drink and a very busy market on a Thursday. Well worth a visit.
We hadn't been there more than 24 hours before we all decided that we wanted to live in Sardinia. Thank you Georgio and Paolo. We think you have a wonderful holiday home and although I know you have plans to make it even more spectacular, we think you have a great property. Your generosity and friendliness couldn't have been better. We are very grateful and are very happy to recommend your villa to all our friends. I hope the rest of the season goes well for you. Nicky, Nick, Richard, Helen, Hilary, Laura, James, and the round-the-world sailors, James & Tom.
