We enjoyed our week at Villa Vittoria very much. We were a party of 6 adults and two children aged 2 & 4. We hired cars at the airport and were met on our arrival in Alghero by Signore Bardino Snr, who then drove ahead to lead us to the villa. Our first glimpse was on the approach down the lanes from the main road....there was the beautiful ochre coloured villa high up on the hillside. On arrival we were given a tour of the villa and were told that Mauro would visit in a day or two. The sleeping accommodation was ideal for our family. One couple in the ground floor double bedroom, our daughter, husband and two children in the 3 bedrooms on the first floor and my husband and I in the spacious double room on the second floor with panoramic views across the valley from the balcony. All were nicely furnished and had en-suite showers and everywhere was very clean and tastefully decorated. Our granddaughters love playing in the bath at the end of the day so it would have been nice to have at least one bath in the property, however that’s a minor point. The water flow in the showers wasn’t great, and on the first two days the water was hot for the first people to take their showers, but didn’t last for everyone. I think that it was due to the fact that, unusually, the weather was rather cloudy and so the solar power wasn’t sufficient. All windows have mosquito screens and shutters and there’s an air conditioning unit in each bedroom. We slept very well. The downstairs living room was fine, although we did feel that some of the furnishings in the lounge and on the patio could do with some TLC or replacing. For such a beautiful villa it seemed a shame that the wicker chairs and sofas looked a little tatty. The terrace area was large with an oval table and chairs to seat 10 plus a barbecue area. Steps lead down from the terrace to the pool, where we spent a lot of our time. There are plenty of sun loungers with mattresses and a clever 3-in-1 parasol. There is a jacuzzi section at one end of the pool but it wasn’t working properly, however, it provided an ideal “children’s pool” for our 4 year old granddaughter. The pool lights weren’t working so we didn’t have a swim after dark. The kitchen was functional with a table and chairs for 6 people, although we ate outside every day. Two high chairs for the little one were provided, one inside and one out. There were two minor irritations......a very cheap toaster which took ages to do 2 slices of toast.....in a villa which sleeps 10, it would be nice to have a four slice modern toaster. We also had problem with the dishwasher for the first few days as it was leaving some crockery soiled. A previous hirer had used loose powder in it instead of dishwasher tabs, and the salt compartment was almost empty, as was the rinse-aid. As a result, we found that all the crockery was coated in a residue of powder and remained so for the first couple of washes, the crockery didn’t come out clean, requiring us to hand wash it all. However, having filled up the salt compartment with almost a full bag, and replenished the rinse-aid and bought some tabs we eventually got it working ok. It is maybe something that the owners could check between hires. All in all, we would not let these few niggles prevent us from booking the villa again as it is in a really lovely position just outside the main town of Alghero, where there are plenty of shops and restaurant. You do need a car to get around though. Parking is easy and cheap in the town, near the harbour and seafront. We found a lovely beach, Maria Pia, about 15 minutes away, and could park on the road there free for the day.

We loved every minute staying here. Mauro was brilliant if we ever needed anything. The house is even nicer than it looks in the pictures and it's great having so many bathrooms. The children loved the playground. It's very close to Alghero and 5min drive from lots of supermarkets so very handy. Also lovely area - beautiful beaches, other nice towns to visit. Highly recommend

Villa Vittoria is a perfect home for a Sardinian vacation and a perfect hub from which to explore Alghero and the surrounding area in northwest Sardinia. The Villa is well kept, clean, spacious and secluded - the pictures don't do it justice - and the views of the surrounding countryside are spectacular. Mauro is the owner and property manager and can help with anything you need during your stay -- he is always available either through phone, WhatsApp, text or email and always happy to help. Do not be alarmed by the down payment process (I too was apprehensive at first) as he will ask you to wire him a portion of the payment to reserve your stay. He met us near the roundabout at the entry to town after we drove from the airport and then led us to the Villa. The Villa has sweeping views of the Sardinian hills, a great pool, bedrooms on 3 different floors each with a bathroom of its own, and ample space for outdoor relaxation - even a small playground for children! It is a very short drive to Euro Spin super market, and a few minutes more to Centro Storico and the white sand beaches. I highly recommend you stay at Villa Vittoria!

This was a marvelous house and a most fantastic host!! We were 9 persons, Grandpa and Grandma, son, daughter-in-law, their daughter, daughter, son-in-law, and their two boys 10 and 6 years old. After a day at the beach it was perfect to come home to the house, make dinner and relax as it was a silent area far from the noise of the town. Still it was just a short drive down to the charming little town of Alghero with many shopping possibilities. A refreshing bath in the swimming pool early or late was very pleasant and perfect for the kids. The house was very very well furnished with whatever you could wish for. The host was very easygoing and helpful with everything; things around the house or advices on what to do or see. We can´t think of a house and host better than this!

We were slightly concerned before leaving the uk because we paid the owner Mauro directly with a deposit of 25% before arrival and we couldn't find the villa on google maps.The arrangement was that we would be met in Alghero by Mauro on arrival.I only mention this to reassure anyone with similar concerns there is no need to worry.We Phoned Mauro when we got to Alghero ,he came to meet us within 10 minutes and could not have been more helpful.he took us to a local supermarket to pick up a few essentials waited while we shopped then took us on to the villa just 10 mins from town.The villa was in peaceful secluded location clean spacious and well maintained.We only ate lunch at the villa but if you wanted to cook there was all necessary facilities..Alghero old town was very pretty with an abundance of restaurants.We had a great holiday and would recommend this villa without reservation

We've just returned from a week stay at villa vittoria. The setting is beautiful and very private. A perfect position for a secluded break. The whole villa /pool / compound was immaculate. A large villa with ample room for 10 people all rooms are with en-suite which made privacy easy to attain if required. We were a party of adults but it would equally suit a group with children. Alghero is a delight. A favourite place. We expect to return some day. Beautiful.

I organised a group of 8 adults to stay in Villa Vittoria and we received excellent service and advice from Mauro from our first contact and throughout our entire stay. The villa was very well equiped and clean both inside and out. There were plenty of areas to enjoy relaxing both in the sun or shade. The pool was very nice and had a wonderful light show at night - it also had an automatic pool cleaner. The villa is in an excellent location, which give easy access by car to Alghero. Mauro was easily contacted during our stay and was happy to give advice when asked. I would be delighted to return and would highly recommend the villa.

The Villa is situated in the hills with the most beautiful panoramic views, amazing in the morning when you wake up, open the front doors and are faced with the hills and sunshine. The pool is perfect for all ages we had 4 kids ages from 3 to 9 yrs all had a great time. Lots of sun loungers and a couple of umbrellas for shade. Everything was very clean and well kept. The inside of the villa is lovely, it has everything you need, bedrooms clean and tidy each hosting their own modern bathroom. The villa is only about 15-20mins from the airport, 10mins to the nearest supermarket & 10mins from the beach and old town ( well worth a visit). The villa has only enough room for one car to be parked on the drive but you can fit another car on the drive behind the gates it's perfectly safe, we had no problems. The owner was very welcoming and was at the end of a phone if needed. Big thanks to him for everything! I will definitely be visiting again, great flights with bmibaby from Eastmidlands Airport, 2&half hours and in the perfect sunshine!
