We stayed here for six days with our three kids. We arrived quite late in the night but Marco met up with us and guided us to the house. The house and garden including the pool area is perfect for that peaceful get-away-from-it-all feeling. The surrounding nature is amazing and the house and garden are extremely well-kept by Marco and his friendly parents. The house has everything you may need except for wifi access which is only available in a designated "internet area". You do need a car to get around, though. We went for a number of day trips to some of the many beaches in the area but really you find it hard to leave the house because it is so nice. The closest village is rather small but has some restaurants and a small supermarket. All in all, highly recommended!

We loved our stay at La Chintana. The house was very clean and good equiped (especially the kitchen). Our children got eggs from the hens for their breakfast, and the garden around is lovely. All people are very helpful and friendly.

La Chintana is a stunning location perfectly attended by Marco, Pietro and "la Mamma". Specially mentions must be done to the general cleaning of the property, the swimming pool (an extremely peaceful place in a peaceful environment) and the individual BBQ, available for each house. It's a fantastic option for travelling with children and really close to Alghero or Stintino but far enough to enjoy the most relaxing holidays ever. We are also impressed by the Sardinia starry nights, usually forgotten in the city. We will return to La Chintana. Sure!

We had a relaxing second week on Sardinia, at this beautiful place Marco and his family has built up. The apartment was well equipped with necessary items for staying, cooking, relaxing etc, and if we had any questions or needs, Marco would immediately respond. The surrounding garden is beautiful, with areas to play and a henhouse with a rooster and chickens - we even got fresh eggs from Pietro one morning. It is highly necessary to have a car, as the nearest market to get basic food is quite a distance away (in Palmedula), and the restaurants are even further away. So this is a place to stay and home cook for dinner, or come back to at night after eating out. There is a nice barbeque to be used outside, that we tried sucessfully, and a takeaway pizzeria in Palmedula, for those dinners one choses not to make yourself. What we missed most, was a small country town in a walking distance, to get fresh bread in the morning, and eat out in at night. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. The pool was nice and clean - the kids (11 and 15) liked it there, especially before and after some hours at the beach. Beautiful beaches to be found near Stintino and Alghero - by car (prepare to do some driving). At night, one can hear lots of animal sounds (mostly dogs, cats, chickens and crickets), so an advice for sensitive ears is to bring earplugs. I can definately recommend La Chintana as a calm, relaxing place to stay, with great hospitality from the Leoni family.
