Over all three stars

We stayed here with 6 adults and one 7 year old. Over all we had an okay time. We visited in mid-July and temperatures were between 80-99 during the day and 70-80* at night. Not having A/C was pretty uncomfortable The property manger and house keeper who are on site to help were very nice and friendly. They helped us anytime we needed it. And they brought us more fans but even with fans sleeping in that heat was difficult. Cooking in a hot kitchen with three fans going, was also difficult. We knew going into the rental there would be fans, we were told the ocean breeze would make the evenings pleasant but with the mosquitoes, cockroaches and lizards we were not comfortable leaving all the windows and doors without screens open to share our space with the wild life.

The photos are definitely outdated, we were slightly disappointed when we arrived as the house is in fact not the same as the photos. The photos make the house appear a lot nicer than it is. The house is due for a major remodel and upgrade.

The area is extraordinarily remote. There is 1 little bar (with decent espresso, cappuccino etc and lovely proprietors) that’s walking distance (literally around the corner from the house). There is a very lovely beach also within a short walking distance to the house as well. The town of Porto Pino is 1 mile which is a nice walk if you’re able. But this town has two tiny bodegas and 4 places to eat out, all of which book up with reservations quickly so take note to plan ahead. The area provides quick accessibility to the south western islands and south western coastal line but only if you are prepared to do a lot of driving. The area is rustic and undeveloped, which does offer its own special natural beauty to it. Being a party of 7 with limited food options and a kitchen that really isn’t set up for cooking every meal was difficult for us.

The area beaches are very nice as well but you do need a car to visit them.

This is a place where Italians and Europeans adventure to, this is an Italian and Sarda speaking area, if you don’t speak the language you may have a hard time navigating.

Sadly, if we came back to this part of the world with our big family, we wouldn’t come back to this town or this house. We could see myself adventuring to the south western part again but still sadly wouldn’t recommend this house to anyone.
