We recently had the pleasure of staying at Residenze al Castello Apartments during our visit to Cagliari, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Cagliari Old Town, this charming apartment provided us with a delightful and memorable experience. Upon entering the apartment, we were immediately struck by its warm and inviting atmosphere. The rustic wooden floors, along with the wooden beams adorning the walls and ceiling, added a touch of character and coziness to the space. It truly felt like a private loft apartment, making us feel right at home. The comfort of the beds was ensured a restful night's sleep! The small pantry was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The host of Residenze al Castello Apartments went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Their incredible helpfulness and flexibility, demonstrated through their assistance with both check-in and taxi bookings, made us feel truly cared for. Their friendly demeanor enhanced our overall experience. One of the greatest advantages of this accommodation was its convenient location. Being within walking distance of the city center and numerous restaurants allowed us to easily immerse ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Cagliari. Our only regret is not having stayed at Residenze al Castello Apartments for a longer duration. The combination of its prime location, comfortable amenities, and welcoming ambiance made it an ideal base for our stay in Cagliari

Fantastic location in the Castello walls we loved the small local bus that drove through the city gates. Great local trattoria and coffee bar . Had cooking facilities food markets are incredible in Sardinia

Could have had olive oil and salt and a kitchen towel these are basic when you provide kitchen facilities . Lots of steps and walking it was fine for us but not everyone can do this

The place is in a lovely area, a short walk from the archeological museum and the cathedral. It is a beautiful old building and the room we were in was quite spacious. We had dishes and utensils in the kitchen area, there was a small fridge and a stove top. The bathroom was nice. The bed was comfortable. Although limited from neighbouring buildings, the view was lovely too. There was a common room with free coffee and tea. We were also thankful to be allowed to keep our luggage there after checking out, as we had almost a full day in the city and wanted to continue to explore.

Although the area is a quiet one, the building, unfortunately wasn't. The walls were so thin that we could hear every conversation that our neighbours were having. We couldn't sleep very well 3 out of 4 nights because of that. We did complain and they were asked to keep the noise down, but even only them coming back and unlocking their door at 2.30 am was so loud in the echoey corridor, that it woke us up. In general, this is a big issue for light sleepers and, in my opinion, should be dealt with and the rooms should be sound proofed much better, as not being able to sleep did ruin parts of our vacation. There were some minor issues with cleanliness - the dishes weren't really clean so we had to wash them before use. I was surprised not to find a kettle (but, to be fair, there is one in the common room that can be used by everyone).

perfect location but …

proeprty need definitely renovation. the last makeover looks like made the end of 90’s. … and the shower was broken!

Excellent central location. Close to the bus stop and restaurants and bars. Outstanding window views from the top apartments. Great place if you want to feel a bit like a resident of Cagliari. A hairdryer or an iron, toiletries on a request.

Blocked sink in the kitchen

Location was great, apartment was beautiful and clean. Great view

Great location, close to most of the sights worth seeing.

Contessa's bathroom door needs repair.

Gorgeous view looking out to the sea (Dama apartment) Big spacious rooms (one for bedroom/sofabed, one for kitchen/dining, one for bathroom). Walking distance to old city attractions - cathedral, bastion, marina with restaurants, shopping area. Nice atmosphere to live in the old city with narrow streets Easily reachable by public transport - train and bus. A few minutes walk from the bus stop to the apartment. Need to climb up a few stairs and walk downhill. So if you are bringing heavy luggage, it may be wise to take a taxi to drop off outside the apartment. Easy instructions for property entrance (via door code) and lockbox for keys to apartment. Host easily contactable via Whatsapp or Booking.com if required. 2 separate air conditioning units - one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen. Apartment is on a hill and it is reachable from the airport by train and bus (number 7 or 8) or taxi. Train ticket from the airport to city is EUR1.30 (6min ride) and 90 min bus ticket is EUR1.30 (10min ride). Bus stop to catch the bus is just outside the train station. Use Google maps for actual bus stop locations. Google map offered a bus option to/from the airport but it wasn't very clear at the actual bus stop (ie. bus timetable did not include it) whether this option existed and the locals told us to use the train service. We only had a day in Cagliari so we got the 24 ticket (EUR3.30) for transfers to the apartment, visit to Poetto beach, and natural reserve with flamingoes.

Furniture was a bit sparse for the room size. Lighting in rooms were dim and one of the side bedroom lamp was not working. There was a whistling kettle available, but would have preferred an electric kettle (faster boil). No knives in kitchen so it wasn't really a kitchen to be used for cooking large meals but sufficient for preparing breakfast. No lifts to upper floors (this wasn't a problem for us but would be a consideration for those with heavy luggage and mobility issues) There is space to put your luggage to collect another time, but it is not a secure/locked room (we didn't have any issues with this arrangement. The risk of theft would be low since entrance to the property is only via door code and there aren't many apartments in the building).
