Child Friendly Villas
Please note: Although young children need adult supervision anywhere, especially where pools are concerned, we trust that these villas, are more suitable for families with small children. We can give you personal advice about each individual property.

Christmas in Sardinia
Surprisingly mild temperatures and pure air, clear blue skies and turquoise waters against the white of the sand.
A time to relax and enjoy the villages and towns in the festive season, their landscapes so pure.
Towns such as Alghero, Olbia and Cagliari will offer special events. Refined “Christmas” menus, rich festive town markets. The unique, lively warm atmosphere of these Sardinian places will warm up everybody's heart and offer you a unique insight into this multicoloured enticing Island where tradition still runs deep.
We would love to recommend the warm atmosphere of the The Guesthouse Agriturismo. 9 stylish modern bedrooms with an exiting modern large restaurant designed to resemble a “modern, rich” nomad camp with a tall colourful fireplace and misty red lamps.
The perfect back drop for a winter dinner but also for a late afternoon drink with jazz music in the background (mainly on Friday night). The exquisite menus and good wines together with the lively atmosphere surrounded by the purest and wildest landscapes will pleasantly surprised you.
Christmas at this “Agriturismo”. A must!
Porto Pollo, 3 km to Isola dei Gabbiani. Self-catering and B/B
The Agriturismo also offers 2 cosy apartments with fireplaces (sleeps 4/6). Its modern, cosy and charming making it the perfect place for a different, festive Christmas week.
And whilst staying at the Agriturismo why not visit the SPA CENTRE in Santa Teresa open all year round.
WHAT ABOUT KITE AND WIND SURFING AT CHRISTMAS?
The Agriturismo would offer the perfect stay as it is only 3 km from the renowned PORTO POLLO area and The Isola dei Gabbiani: www.portopollo.it
Families and Christmas in Sardinia…
We can also offer villas which are more than suitable for the winter seasons with air conditioning fitted to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Such as a private villa near Olbia. A cosy and peaceful setting for a large family with children. For this choose villa La Splendida. Its just a short walk to a romantic beach where you will find a restaurant that is open all year. Enjoy the warm sunshine for a change after a rich Christmas lunch whilst the children play on the beach!
Pittulongu. Sleeps 6/8. Shared pool. Air conditioning.
Lovely and modern semi-detached house with garden and a lovely terrace with sea views. A well-equipped newly built property with high standard interiors, DVD player and CD stereo. Pittulongu beach is 700m away and there are many good restaurants in the area. 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
December in Alghero with its enticing atmosphere and the historic roads will gleam under the Christmas decorations. Alghero will look more attractive than ever and all the small old churches will be open for visits. The atmosphere in the small cobbled streets will be exiting as never before!
Historic centre of Alghero. 50 bedrooms.
Situated in Alghero's historic centre, a short walk to the sea and the historic squares of this pretty Mediterranean town.
The best place for large families:
Villa Gisella (large groups up to 16 people or smaller families), near Alghero and near the enticing La Pelosa beach, a wonderful beach with shallow water perfect for children to play and to enjoy the Mediterranean sun.
Stintino, near Alghero. Sleeps 16. Fully air conditioned, beautiful sea views.
Elegant and spacious, containing 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, satellite television, and a large roof terrace. Two large and luxurious separate apartments on two floors (sleeps 6 upstairs and 10 downstairs), so it can be rented as a combined property or as two separate independent dwellings with their own private pools and gardens.
Porto Rafael will be just the place for couples to enjoy a romantic festive holiday.
Hiding away in the most exclusive corner of the Mediterranean. Enjoining the rich patisseries, chic restaurants and the small elegant boutiques. Walking alongside the beautiful old marina, sipping on a glass of sherry or a small espresso coffee where Lord Nelson used to spend long afternoons on board his ship.
This is high standard and from here you can reach the local pub and the hidden away beaches in less than 5 minutes.
Porto Rafael. Sleeps 2. Walk to beach.
A modern, chic apartment within a private villa some 50 m to the famous “Piazzetta of Porto Rafael” and the local pretty sandy coves. The apartment has a great deal of privacy and it is a real romantic getaway, hidden within lush gardens in the exclusive village of Porto Rafael.
Finally how could we forget the most authentic spot of Sardinia, the Barbagia. Here Christmas is like it was many many years ago as the wildness of the landscapes has kept the rare beauty of the place. Here Sardinia portrays its oldest soul at its purest state. Few villages, lots of art, fantastic food with the most traditional menus boasting the best cheeses and the finest wines. If you love nature and tradition you are going to love Barbagia. A place where time stood still where white dogs still follow native shepherds down narrow country lanes guiding herds of sheep to the sea.
Where to stay? No where better than the Luxury Hotel Su Gologone (4*).
a member of the “Independent Luxury Hotels”
A wonderful luxury hotel. Unique in its position surrounded by wildly exuberant country side but merely 15 min drive to one of Sardinia's most beautiful and renowned beaches, Cala Gonone.
Renowned for offering the best food and its perfect for trekking via organized tours. You can go and sunbathe at Cala Gologone or Cala di Luna admiring the most spectacular vistas of the Mediterranean – nowhere as beautiful as here!
