Sardinia villas for your holiday accommodation.

Costa Rei

Sant Elmo Villas

Lovely location adjacent to the St Elmo hotel with direct access to a good sized beach which, although public, is almost a private beach because of the security gates to the main grounds. There is a management office on site, where they do speak English and can offer advice on the area.

The properties are all bungalow style and are split into three types – we liked them all because of their spacious and very private terrace, and the feeling that apart from sleeping you could live and eat outdoors almost permanently.

Bilos – sleep 2/3: Terraced stone built bungalows which you enter via a tiny garden, enclosed on two sides with a barbecue area and then into a large covered terrace. The living room is a good size with a double sofa bed. The fitted kitchenette has a full oven, four hot plates and fridge/freezer. One bedroom with a double bed or twin beds. Bathroom with shower, WC and washbasin.

Trilos – sleep 4/6: Stone built, these semi detached bungalows have a super sized terrace enclosed on two sides for privacy. Front door into a living room which has a double sofa bed, a fully fitted kitchen as per the bilo, and two bedrooms – one is double bedded and the other has twin beds. One bathroom with shower cubicle, WC and washbasin.

Villas – sleeps 4/6. Now these really are for the al fresco family. A huge terrace separates the sleeping and living quarters – here you can step out of the bedroom and enjoy the early sun rise without disturbing everyone else as you make coffee or tea. On the right is the living room with feature fireplace, a separate kitchen with table and chairs and the first bathroom contains a washing machine as well as a shower and WC. Across the terrace are the bedrooms, one twin and one double, and between the two is a bathroom with shower, WC and washbasin.

At first an odd design, but one that works in the sunny climes of southern Sardinia. Many of these houses have sea views and some are within 75 yards of the sea and beach – others are up to 200 yards distant.

Drawback: We didn’t like the poor quality access unsurfaced roads, but the idea that you cannot park nearby except to collect baggage, seemed to be a good idea – both to avoid noise and fumes and as a safety precaution for children.

Within walking distance (200 - 400 metres) are a pizzeria, supermarket and a very upmarket mini golf course complete with equally smart bar.

Villaputzu - Porto Corallo

Porto Corallo Residence

These are in two locations, all have part or side views of the sea.

Bungalows sleep 4/6: Bungalows are stepped into the hillside and have tiny gardens, good sized terraces and a side view of the sea – which is between 100 and 200 yards away. Each has two bedrooms, some with double, some with twin beds, some with bunk beds in the second bedroom. There’s a good sized living room with double sofa bed and large French windows opening onto the terrace. The fully fitted kitchenettes all have a large oven, four hot plates and a large fridge with freezer section. One bathroom has good quality shower cubicle, WC and washbasin.

Trilos - sleep up to 6: These are on two floors and have a garden at the rear and a terrace with part sea views. Built into the hill, they offer rear access over a small lawned garden. The top floor has two bedrooms, one with twin beds, the other with a double bed. One bathroom with shower, wc and washbasin. A fairly steep staircase goes down to the lower floor which has a spacious living room with dining area and a double sofa bed. The fully fitted kitchen has an oven, four hot plates and fridge/freezer. A massive window with sliding doors leads onto a good sized terrace with lawn and a cold water hose supply for each apartment to wash off the sand from the beach before entering the property.

Bilos - sleep up to 4: These are on one floor and have a large living room with fitted kitchen as per the larger apartment. terrace or large balcony with part sea view. One bedroom has twin or double bed. Bathroom with shower cubicle, wc and washbasin.

NB Both types are stepped and in some cases there are 40 steps up to the apartment front door.

There is is to a swimming pool at Porto Corrallo which has to be paid for - a one week pass costs €15 euros PER WEEK per client. The pool is open from 26 June.
