Wir haben uns in diesem Ferienhaus sehr wohl gefühlt. Sehr schön waren die zwei individuell eingerichteten Schlafzimmer mit eigenem Bad. In der Küche hat es an nichts gefehlt und der Garten mit seinen Granatapfel- und Limettenbäumen ist wunderschön. Von hier aus kann man die wunderschönen Strände Sardiniens sehr gut erkunden.

Das Haus ist ein wunderschön eingerichtetes, super ausgestattetes Schmuckstück, an das sich ein gepflegter Garten anschließt. Ganz in der Nähe sind ein kleiner Supermarkt, eine Pizzeria und eine fantastische pasticceria. Schöne Strände sind cs. 12 km entfernt. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert!! Vielen Dank auch an die Gastgeber für die vielen hilfreichen Informationen bereits im Vorfeld unserer Reise!

We have just returned from a fantastic 11 nights at this wonderful property. The house has everything you need and feels so comfortable. The garden is beautiful and ideal to enjoy day or night. The location is so close to some amazing beaches, a brilliant holiday! We loved Putzu Idu, Sa Mesa Longa, Mari Ermi and Roca Tunda. Don't forget to try out the baker's in Riola too!

Wir hatten als Familie mit 2 Kindern einen tollen Aufenthalt im Riola Sardo. Das Häuschen entpuppte sich als ein kleines restauriertes Refugium, in dem es uns an nichts mangelte. Selbst sonst immer so vermisste Küchenhelfer waren vorhanden. Die Liebe zum Detail ist auch im Garten sichtbar geworden. Tolle Sträucher, Blumen und Sitzecken lassen ein immer wieder gern zurückkehren. Rialo Sardo ist ein quirliger Ort, der idealer Ausgangspunkt für die vielen tollen selbst in der Hochsaison einsamen Strände der Umgebung ist. Die Gastgeber sind auch sehr rührig und Serena die Betreuerin vor Ort ist ganz große Klasse. Es gab jede Menge tolle Tipps zum Essen und einige haben wir genutzt. Wir freuen uns schon auf ein Wiederkommen!

Very nice stay in a very nice house with plenty of place and proper equipment in the kitchen, bathroom and air conditioning in the rooms. A very lovely garden where you can enjoy your meals in the shade. Rioja is a little town that needs discovery : nice Pasteria, butcher, and locals are friendly and helpful.

Beautiful house with everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable holiday. We felt at home as soon as we arrived - warmly greeted by Serena who was on hand if needed. Lots of beautiful beaches that were close, making it easy to visit a different one each time. We visited Bosa, Oristano and Cagliari - again, all very easy to get to. Lovely friendly locals, with good food shops and cafes in the village. A large supermarket/shopping centre is 15 mins away by car. Absolutely loved our stay here - could not have wished for better or more. Thank you for making it such a little gem 😊. Pete, Sara, Josh and Tig 🐾

We, a family of 4, had a wonderful stay in the house "La Taratuga d'Oro". The house is in perfect condition with everything you might need. It is very well situated in a nice village close to some of the best beaches in West Sardinia. We hope to come back again in the future!

Das frisch renovierte Haus im beschaulichen Dorf Riola Sardo ist wirklich ein Bijou. Die Zimmer sind stil- und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das Haus als Ganzes sehr konfortabel. Die Besitzer (Claire und Sergio) nahmen sich den typisch sardischen Stil als Vorbild. Es verfügt über eine gut eingerichtete Küche (es ist wirklich alles da!), bequeme Sitzmöglichkeiten und für jedes Schlafzimmer eine Nasszelle. Der Garten lädt zum Verweilen ein, verfügt über mehrere Sitzplätze und auch eine Aussendusche (kaltes und warmes Wasser!). Für Reisende steht viel Literatur über die sardische Kultur und die Sehenswürdigkeiten zur Verfügung, wir konnten ausgiebig profitieren. Dass kein Fernsehempfang möglich war, haben wir gar begrüsst. Wer will, kann sich Informationen über Internet besorgen (WLAN steht zur Verfügung): Serena, die uns empfangen hat, ist eine liebenswerte, hilfsbereite, unkomplizierte Person. Das Dorf selbst bietet genügend Einkaufsmöglichkeiten: kleiner Supermercato, Metzgerei, Bäckereien, Pasticceria (sehr zu empfehlen), Bars und eine herrlich typische Pizzeria mit ausgezeichneten Pizze. Alles in allem waren wir rundum zufrieden und glücklich. Für uns bis heute die beste Erfahrung mit Ferienwohnungen.

Wir (4 Erw.) fanden (Mitte September) alles so wie im Inserat beschrieben. Das Haus war in einwandfreiem Zustand, der Garten wundervoll und gepflegt. Die Informationen von Claire waren zutreffend, die Schlüsselübergabe unproblematisch und der Empfang vor Ort perfekt. Die Umgebung ist ländlich geprägt, wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier richtig. Kann das Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Das Haus ist komplett renoviert. Es liegt im Ort Riola Sardo. Der Ort ist klein, es gibt einige Läden, einen kleinen Supermarkt, Bäcker, etc. Die schönen Strände sind schnell erreichbar. Das Haus hat alles , was man so braucht. Der Garten hat einige Früchte zu bieten und die Terasse ist auch wunderbar. Schade ist, das es kein Sateliten/Kabel TV gibt, so das man nur einen schlechten italienischen Empfang hatte. Ansonsten hatten wir einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Die Verwalterin Serena hat sich super um uns gekümmert und uns einige Tipps mit auf den Weg gegeben.

Das Haus ist ganz toll renoviert. Es liegt im sehr ruhigen Örtchen Riola Sardo. Tolle Strände sind gut erreichbar. Die Küstenstrasse nach Alghero ist atemberaubend. Auch die Fahrt zum Montiferru war sehr schön. Bosa ist ebenfalls ein Ausflug wert. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Claire und die Verwalterin Serena haben sich super um uns gekümmert und uns einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt beschert.

Wir hatten das Glück, eine Woche in diesem liebevoll gestalteten Haus wohnen zu dürfen und haben es sehr genossen. Sergio und Claire haben sehr viel Liebe in dieses kleine Häuschen gesteckt und das merkt man, man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Die Begrüßung und Verabschiedung durch Serena war ebenfalls sehr herzlich. Sehr zu empfehlen sind auch die kleinen Läden in Riola. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Nous avons passé 15 jours au mois de juillet dans la superbe maison de Claire et Sergio. Dès que vous passez la porte de cette maison de village, vous vous sentez comme chez vous. La décoration est faite avec goût, l’équipement est au top (il ne manque rien !) et tout est d’une grande propreté. Le jardin est tout simplement magnifique, petit écrin de verdure dans ce pays aride, équipé de deux salons et d’une douche extérieure (quel bonheur quand il fait 35°C). Il y a toutes les commodités à Riola Sardo, dont une petite épicerie à 300m de la maison qui vend de la très bonne charcuterie et d’excellents fromages. La région est préservée du tourisme de masse, peu de circulation en juillet et des plages peu peuplées. Serena, qui s’occupe de l’accueil des hôtes et de l’entretien de la maison, parle très bien français et nous a donné de bonnes adresses (nourriture, plages, etc..) et répond très rapidement aux sms si besoin (cafetière en panne changée dans la journée, merci !). En résumé, si nous retournons en Sardaigne, nous savons où aller..

We spend 8 days in Sergio and Claire's beautiful house. Our kids (2 and 4 years old) enjoyed the beautiful garden a lot. The house is nicely decorated and has everything you need to have a great vacation. The location is very convenient, since the beaches are very close by car, and Riola is not a crowded city. I recommend Putzu Idu with toddlers, Mari Ermi, and Is Arutas. The housekeeper Serena was very kind and helpful. We definetely recommend this property and are looking forward to our next vacation on Sergio's house.

Nous sommes des habitués de la location de vacances... Celle-ci est incontestablement une des meilleures à ce prix !!! -Tout d'abord, Claire et Sergio sont réactifs, sympathiques et efficaces. Pour illustration, avant de partir, vous recevrez une sorte de mémento de la maison avec tous les trucs et astuces (ex. jours de ramassage des ordures, électricité, etc....) de.... 20 pages !!!! si, si.... -Ensuite, leurs agentes locales sont disponibles (Merci Serena, Merci sa maman). Nous avons contacté Serena durant notre séjour pour diverses infos via Whats App et avons eu les infos dans l'heure... -L'endroit est super propre, très lumineux et très spacieux (en tout cas pour 2 personnes) ! Dans les faits, il me semble mieux encore que ce que les photos ne montrent. La façade est trompeuse... tout se passe à l'intérieur :-) -Se parquer est simple (devant la maison) -Le jardin..... Le jardin est un poème, fait de petits bosquets de fleurs et d'arbres (un citronnier pour vos vinaigrettes par exemple). Une allée gravillonnée qui vous mène au grill, ou à un douche d'extérieur ou encore à un espace de bronzage et une grande table. -Étant donné l'état des routes en Sardaigne, nous étions tout content d'être proches de la semi-autoroute. Ça a vraiment facilité les choses quand nous sommes allés à Sassari, Alghero, Supramonte et même Sant´Antioco.... -Conseil : Essayez le restaurant gastronomique "Albergo Antica Dimora Del Gruccione" à Santu Lussurgiu, +/- 45 minutes de Riola Sardo... Allez sur leur site pour les heures d'ouverture.... et réservation obligatoire... -Nous avons vraiment adoré les "montagnes" (collines) sardes et les prairies fleuries de printemps.... Les paysages sont très doux... -De plus, la Sardaigne, en basse (moyenne) saison est franchement peu peuplée /(hormis quelques villes)... ce qui est très reposant ! Si je reviens en Sardaigne, je suis certain de revenir chez Sergio et Claire...MERCI encore et continuez comme ça... Philippe et Maria.

Sehr nette, hilfsbereite Vermieter. Sehr niedliches, super ausgestattetes Haus, wunderbares kleiner Garten. Für die Osterzeit problematisch, dass es keine richtige Heizung gibt. Das Örtchen ist kein Traum, aber dafür liegt es so, dass man von dort Vieles gut erreichen kann.

Property was lovely and in excellent condition. Travelling with an 20 month old child, we found the provision for little ones was very good. It was important for us to have a bath in the property as this is part of her normal bedtime - this was the only place I could find with one. The property also had a high chair, travel cot, stair-gate and plenty of nice toys which was good. In addition, it was nice to know that help was not far away if we'd needed it. The property manager texted us half way through the week to check we were ok (which we were!) The Marshall Bluetooth stereo was a very nice also - daddy had fun with this :-) Thanks for a wonderful week!

We spent fantastic 2 weeks in Sardegna. We had planned to explore the area a bit as well as to make trips further away, for which "La Tartaruga" was a great base. We always felt good coming back to this quiet little house, it indeed felt like our home away from home. We loved the garden, it actually looked much nicer than on the pictures as the plants and trees have grown bigger and it felt like an oasis. We enjoyed our mornings there with coffee and fresh cornetti from the nearby bakery, as well as evenings with chilled wine and grilled fish. As already mentioned in previous reviews, the house is delightfully furnished, well taken care of, very clean and equipped with everything necessary. The beaches nearby were great, a bit crowded in August but we still enjoyed them a lot. Last but not least, the communication with the owners was excellent, we were provided with loads of information and tips which proved very useful. We had a great stay, thank you Sergio and Claire!
