La casa del Balivo

Excellent location and host. A real medieval experience of staying at a centuries old house that has preserved its original character. The host was very kind and had loads of knowledge and suggestions for sight-seeing. Suggested Orgosolo for the murals and introduced us to Rosa Marie for authentic Italian cooking lessons. Exceptional experience and highle recommended.

Nothing of any note.

Cute apartment, well furnished and even had extra like multiple beach mats and umbrellas. There were also loads of snacks/breakfast bits even though we didn’t order the breakfast. The host was lovely when we met him upon arrival, taking us through things to do in the area as well.

We loved the whole, recently and beautifully renovated home. The pictures don’t do it enough justice. Every corner of the house is covered with various authentic pieces of furniture and wall ornaments. Our room on the first floor had a wonderful view over the city into the valley, a very beautiful and large wooden bed and a life-saving AC unit during 38°C August days. The bathroom provided a shower, hair dryer, bidet, 3 sizes of towels and free toiletries. The kitchen was another gem, providing a homemade sweet breakfast with tea and coffee in a very special authentic Sardinian atmosphere. There was also an available fridge for guests to use. On top of that there is a sunlit terasse with an even better view. Limited free parking is available in a parallel street downwards. We could also rent out a beach umbrella for free. Antonio is a extraordinarily hospitable host, who helped us find a parking spot, gave us a very detailed overview for nearby excursions, hikes and restaurants and was always available via WhatsApp.

Nothing

The location is nice. They provide “free” biscuits for breakfast.

The staff were incredibly suspicious. You have to pay everything in cash. It’s a lot of money for a small service that they provide. It wasn’t a pleasant experience.
