Marta the owner met us at the villa and showed us round. Everything was clean and tidy and as per the pictures. Marta also went that extra mile by helping us locate the nearest doctor/hospital due to a medical emergency we had and she stayed with us until it was sorted. She kept in contact throughout the holiday. The Villa is typically Sardinian and could do with some updating (ie the shower downstairs was small and only covered by a curtain and although the bathrooms up stairs are large again the shower seems to be the poor relation and is the smallest ever, my husband who is 6 foot found it a squash to get into each day. The kitchen is well equipped and has a large Fridge. The downstairs outside terrace is lovely and great to have breakfast at.
Although you can drive up the villa path its quite steep and narrow so we had to leave our VW estate at the bottom, so ladies be ware coming in a night in high heels on the cobbled path is not the best, leave some flats in your car to change into! And remember to put the outside lights on before you leave otherwise its too dark to see your footsteps. If you are not steady on your feet or up a steep path then this villa isn't for you.
We had a couple of visitors in Deer! Yes Deer! so there is some poop in the garden, but we love wildlife so that didn't bother us.
The pool is at the back of the villa which is a shame because you feel slightly enclosed and it becomes a sun trap..fine if there is a breeze but given we were on the hill it was surprisingly not windy! So we did find we had to go to the beach most days. The nearest one is about a 10 minute drive but we preferred the ones in Chia about 30 minutes away. You have to pay for sunbeds on the beach, 25 euro for 2 and an umbrella. You can take your own if you buy some. The sea is beautiful.
The only other disappointing experience about the villa is that you don't get a change of towel or bed so you have to wash this yourself and get them dried in the same day as there is no spares. We found this quite odd as other European villas always provide a weekly made service and swap the towels for us. For the money (and I appreciate its Italy) but we have had better villas in Greece and Cyprus.
One final point about Sardinia and this area in general, the food is very typically Sardinian (lots of fish and shell fish) and mostly set menus so don't think you are going to be able to order a chicken in white wine sauce, or meatballs and spaghetti, or garlic bread.
