Perfect location

We went hoping to find a comfortable villa with a bit of a view, handy for the sea and with sunshine guaranteed. John's place surpassed our expectations. The view is much better than the photo suggests, especially from the raised seating area, which is a lovely touch; the accommodation is very comfortable and well equipped, providing cool shade and hot sun, whichever you fancy; and the location is perfect: up and away from it all but with countless idyllic beaches and coves just a few minutes drive away, and the superyachts of Porto Cervo about 45 mins. Eat at the sea front restaurant in Porto Pozzo (10 mins) and Capannacia on the road into Palau (20 mins), both full of Italian families, buzzing, good food and prices not as horrendous as you're led to believe (unless you go for the fish). And try to find the E130 to hire a boat from Porto Pozzo for a day and whizz out to the Madalenas, where you'll find beautiful little beaches and the bluest water imaginable. Fuel is extra, be warned, but it's an experience you won't forget. Who needs a swimming pool with all this on your doorstep? In short, a lovely holiday location where you feel you're getting good value from an honest, scrupulous, helpful and friendly owner.
