- Judith K1 contributionGreat ride up to the Cape and Porto Giunco. I'm a beginner or haven't ridden in a long time and was a little excited. But the horses were so sure-footed, calm and balanced and we were accompanied very well, so that after a short time I could enjoy the ride and the breathtaking beauty of the landscape. Frederika accompanied us superbly - with humor, good mood and exuberant lightness she had everything in view at the same time and accompanied the group competently and responsibly together with her colleague who rode in the back. The riding facility and the horses made a very good impression on me. The practical thing was that you could borrow equipment. We were traveling for a good 2 hours. I thought the price was really fine for that. Many thanks to Frederika, her colleagues and of course the great Ignos 😀Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 15, 2024
- Valentina STrento, Italy3 contributionsI couldn't have ended the holiday in a more special way! I did the walk with the horses from the riding school to Punta Carbonara, a route with spectacular views, an incredible two hours. I am a beginner but Federica was very kind and professional, the horses were delicious, the riding staff was very nice and affectionate towards the horses. An experience I would repeatVisited June 2024Traveled soloWritten June 4, 2024

I have to say that it was almost my first time on horse riding and the staff was simply great. They were prepared to give us the long pants and the cap to the kid (9 years old). As well they gave us a pouch to hold the mobile and have it ready easily. Stefania gave us the instructions before leaving and then Armando guided us in the bush and along the Notteri pond. Armando took care of my kid and he was simply fantastic, with a good sense of humor. A girl named Giulia came with us, giving some hints on how to ride the horse and it was clear she was passionate in her job. When I returned I had problem to move (not used to such exercise…) and they helped me a lot. A good experience to repeat. the horses were easy to ride and the staff was always in control of the situation.
One point only to improve is that we didn’t stop to take some pictures, but I believe it was our fault, may be we were too much focused on the riding…

My wife and I, although very hesitant at first, opted for the longer tour in Villasimius (over two hours). Never been on a horse before!!! After a short but intense explanation from Stefania on how to command the horses we left. We passed along the Stagno dei Notteri, went up to Torre di Porto Giunco, went down to Cava Usai, went up to Capo Carbonara (exceptional view) and returned to the riding school. Our horses Bambù and Primavera were very good: they take you up and down the route very calmly. A hoot.

Wonderful and unique experience, 2 intense afternoon hours starting from the riding school passing through the Saracen tower of Porto Giunco until reaching the opposite side where there will be a breathtaking view overlooking the sea. The welcome and the guides were excellent, the horses Snoopy and Blanco who accompanied us on this fantastic experience were very sweet. To redo.

If you consider to go for a horseback riding trip i strongly advice you NOT to book here. The lady is very rude and impatient. Before we left my horse refused to walk. She still hold my horse by hand but the horse staggered and fell on its back with me. I got badly hurt.

But you smoked us out! My 10 year old doesn't like cigarette smoke, nor do I and if the 10 you smoked on the 3 hour trip really is necessary then maybe it should come with a warning sign. Other than that the trip was amazing and the views spectacular. A few little niggles...
My daughter is a competent rider although the western was quite different she took like it like a duck to water. Me on the other hand, I've not ridden in over 20 years and in the uk we pull left to go left but western it was quite different (we had to loosen left to go left or something) so all a little confusing with an older, inexperienced, non confident rider like myself although the instructor took great joy in making me look 'stupid' in front of everyone else and belittling me rather than supporting me whilst I spend most of the time worrying about my little girl and trying to make sure I was doing it right. Sensitivity would have been kind in this situation!! I never said I was a rider but was keen to give it a go until she felt the need to 'put me down' to me daughter and the other riders. It's not kind and certainly not required!!!

Thank you Steffi for making my dream come true: riding a horse along the beach!!
We had an adventurous trip along the beach, up some hills and checking an old tower. The horses were so kind and easy to handle - just Fritz was a little bit lazy ;-)

We have just got back to the UK after an amazing holiday in Villasimius in early July 2016. The highlights were our 2 evening treks on horseback, with the 'WOW' views from the headland over the turquoise bays and white beaches. Stefi is a brilliant guide, and her horses are really well looked after, sure footed and well trained, the western saddles are new and comfortable, and the route is largely traffic free along the edge of the saltwater lagoon and up through the scrubland to the hilltops overlooking the peninsula.
I took my teenage daughters with me and we are hoping to return again next year - what a wonderful way to see the area and to get out of the hotel complex- it is a 10 minute walk from the Timi Ama Hotel where we were staying. Thank you Stefi so much for looking after us and making us feel so welcome- big hugs to beautiful Pegasus, who carried me safely out and home again, and never missed a step!

We did the 2 hr evening excursion which we highly reccomend. The horses were great, well trained and obviously knew the route well.The trek lasted just over 2 hrs and it included beach walk a few hilly climbs to get great views over the local area. We were in a group of about 10, then on the way back split up into 2 groups so if people wanted to do some faster paced riding then they could go ahead. Wear long trousers and long top as there are a few bushes on the narrow trails that might catch you a bit.

Buongiorno, si può prenotare quando si è lì o meglio prenotare prima? Saremo lì in vacanza dal 12 al 19 e vorremmo fare una passeggiata a cavallo. Non abbiamo mai cavalcato ma ci piacerebbe provare.

Bonjour,
j'aurais voulu savoir comment vous avez fait pour réserver l'excursion de 2 h à cheval car je ne parle pas italien et de ce fait, je n'envisage pas de téléphoner, de crainte que ce ne soit pas stéphanie la francophone qui réponde ?
Avez vous réservé longtemps à l'avance ? Nous y serons fin juin
merci et bonne soirée

Hallo,
ich glaube, das geht. Als ich dort geritten bin, ist in der anderen Gruppe eine Familie mit kleinen Kindern mitgeritten. Ein Kind wurde auf einem Pferd mit Führseil mitgenommen.
Hoffe, das hilft weiter.
