Sardinian Paradise

DO NOT be deceived by the pictures on the website...... they simply do not do this property justice!!!! When we first arrived, we did struggle to find the property and although we could catch glimpses from the road, we couldn't actually get to it and ended up with lots of locals on mopeds leading us round!! Eventually we arrived but a small piece of advice... make sure your hire care has enough power to make it up the steep driveway, ours didn't!!!
The property and grounds quite literally blew us away, it is the most wonderful place we have ever stayed. The facilities are exceptional and were fully utilised throughout our stay. The largest of the 2 bbq's is enormous and you feel as if you are cooking in Lilliput... The pool is great, as is the gamesroom. The beds are comfy as are the sofas in the lounge which were used now and again for catching up with the latests olympics news on the TV.
We did lots of self-catering as eating out was very expensive (unless you all had pizzas which were lovely and good value) and found the cooking facilities to be very excellent with utensils for everything.
The local beaches are very good but we did make the effort on several occasions to travel both ways for over an hour, south the quartz beaches are stunning and well worth the journey. Neptunes cave is an absolute must but we are quite easily pleased really and our 4 children enjoyed themselves with little additional entertainment (ages 12 and 14).
The sunset from the villa each evening was so beautiful and has provided us with the most stunning holiday photos ever. Watching our last sunset was positvely painful. Picking fresh fruit each day from the garden was such a special treat.
This holiday villa offered us everything we were dreaming of, and lived up to it's name of Villa Il Sogno (Villa of Dreams). All we want is peace and quiet, lovely beaches, a bbq and lovely company, what more could a family wish for.
Ticking the boxes for recommended holiday-seekers was not easy as we believe that you can find everything on this list with a bit of effort and a car. The steep garden and driveway would, in our opinion, exclude someone with mobility issues and possibly very young children. However, any other families/couples, would be more than happy staying here.
We will certainly return as soon as we possibly can. Thank you so much.
