Sardinia, Cagliari, Quartu Sant 'Elena seaside villa

Mario was a great and readily available host. The home was spotless, the kitchen fully equipped, plenty of towels and everything one would need for a week. Water, juice and even a bottle of wine to start the week. Contrary to our last VRBO host, everything was as listed and shown in photographs. Mario sent us about 40 links for markets and restaurants. Unfortunately, as is the norm in much of Cagliari, the residential roads are terrible and one pot hole would have destroyed your tire so dive in slowly and carefully. When we were going to arrive later than planned, Mario was very cooperative, meeting us at the house personally and giving us a complete walk through and explaining everything. This is why you should only rent from an individual and NOT use a rental company.

It was a wonderful surprise to find the property in a better location and condition than we even expected. Check in was very smooth, and the property manager, Mario, took such good care of us responding to all our requests and answering all of our questions. The beach is literally right outside the gate and was very welcome relief from the excessive heat wave we encountered. The trip was everything we had hoped for and more. Thank you for making Quartu Sant’ Elena our home away from home for a week.

My two young sons and husband and I just returned from a week at Lucia's home and had a great experience. Mario was there to meet us when we arrived and explained everything we needed to know about the house. There was a welcome bottle of wine and bowl of fresh fruit for us, and the kitchen was stocked with a few helpful necessities - milk, water, coffee, sugar, salt, etc, so that we didn't have to run right out to the store to shop. There was AC upstairs in the bedrooms, which was all you really needed, as the breeze from outside kept the downstairs area pretty cool. Having the beach right out our door was obviously nice, but there are also many gorgeous beaches nearby, so we spent a few days out at those, but would always return for dinner on our terrace with the lovely breeze and view. Mario was great at communicating when we had questions about anything, and he had some great recommendations for beaches, restaurants and activities nearby. We had a lovely week and would definitely return!

Wow! I hunted for a long time for the perfect property and this is it! We were here with 2 adults and 3 teenagers and it was superb in every way. The property is completely fenced and private, the beach is beautiful and you can walk to a little grocery store with the most amazing fish/ seafood selection. If you're looking for a relaxing, clean, well stocked place - go ahead and book this. The booking, payment, check-in and check-out process was simple and we received our damage deposit refund before we even made it home from vacation. Thank-you for allowing us to stay at this beautiful beach home. Mario - you were wonderful to deal with and your English was much better than you claim. Thanks for everything! We hope to be back one day!

Spent a week at the lovely beach front house, steps from the sea. Everything was simply perfect, from the location to the attention of the smallest details. The house was spotless, well maintained, and pleasantly decorated. The house was supplied with everything needed for a beach holiday, including lounge chairs, beach towels, etc.. We enjoyed having meals on the sea view patio with a nice sea breeze. Owner hospitality was incredible, every piece of information was communicated to us upon arrival and all of our inquiries were answered promptly. There is a build-in grill on the patio, which allowed us to grill fresh fish almost daily. Thank you from all of us for your warm hospitality.
