OK Villa, but you can do better for the price
The location was good for us as it was close to Porto Cervo, Palau, and Santa Teresa Gallura...which were the main places we were visiting. The Villa was in a private, gated community which was nice. But the main issue was that they advertise a water view and THERE IS NONE. All the plants have since grown and have completely blocked the water view. That is a big deal, and was a real disappointment. Also, the grass lawn was overgrown for our entire stay, making use of the hot tub and the grass lawn less appealing. Additionally, nobody met us at check in. It was all done with written instructions and over the phone...which made the whole process a lot more inconvenient. One of the bedrooms doesn't have A/C, which we did know beforehand, but after staying there I would consider this more of a 3 bedroom than a 4 bedroom. As instead of using that bedroom the kids that were supposed to be in that room slept on the pull-out sofa in the living room.
Additionally, we had a big rain one morning and the laundry room in basement flooded, and we couldn't use it for a day...until someone drained the water (which they did do in a timely manner later that same day). Water also came into the kitchen as well and made a bit of a mess too, which nobody cleaned they just left us a mop to do it ourselves.
All in all it was OK as the location was centrally located and great for what we were looking to do. But the Villa & experience was not nearly up to what is should be for the price. And misrepresenting a water view in the pictures is really unethical. We stayed at another Villa an hour or so south of this Villa, for the other half of our stay...and it was only a couple hundred euro more a night (but also required a 7 night stay). And it was stunningly beautiful with amazing water views, a beautiful pool, and a top-notch host that met any needs.
So realize what you are getting with this Villa before booking. If you are looking to do same places we did and can't commit to a 7 night stay in peak season, this Villa does the job. But it is not as nice as it looks and don't expect the advertised water view.
