A stunning villa in the countryside.
We stayed for two weeks during summer 2016 at Casa Nerelie and had a fantastic, relaxing holiday. The gardens and grounds made our stay outstanding because they create peace, freedom and privacy. The house was stunning, spotlessly clean and had every facility needed to relax, cook, barbecue, sunbathe and eat out on the beautiful veranda. We enjoyed many meals looking out over the garden as the sun set. There is also an outside shower under a huge olive tree that was really refreshing when sunbathing in the hot, August sunshine.
Whilst at the house, the children had a great deal of fun playing in the fields, exploring, watching lizards and star-gazing at night.
In Orosei - around 5 minutes away by car - there are bars, restaurants and supermarkets. We enjoyed the café on the marine road near the supermarket. I think it was called Viadelmarine21 or something similar. Our teenagers often went there for unlimited Wifi and a cold drink. At night, we went for a meal at a restaurant called Su Barghile in the old town. We sat on the roof terrace to eat and tried some local specialities.
Marco and Alessia were extremely welcoming and helpful. They are very committed to making sure guests have the perfect stay. We felt the villa is exceptional value for money. We are a family of 6 and had more than enough room to chill out, spend time together or find a quiet corner to get away from each other and have a tranquil moment. Because the house is in the countryside, it is important to hire a car so that you are able to get to all the local amenities.
Finally, you can't go to Sardinia without mentioning the beaches. Orosei has a long beach at the end of the marine road. This is easy to get to and park at. There are many famous beaches on the Gulf of Orosei, but our favourite beach was 10 minutes by car up the SS125. It was down the road to Fuile del Mare and is the first little beach you come to. The sand was soft and the sea is very shallow for many metres allowing small children to play in the sea safely. The beach had rocks to explore at either side and crystal clear turquoise water. There is also a small bar, very close, to get drinks and sandwiches from. At Sos Alinos, just around the corner there is another supermarket to pick things up from before heading home.
We recommend the villa to anyone looking to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. Villa Nerelie is absolutely wonderful!
