Additional Location Information

Situated in the magnificent area of Gallura in the North of Sardinia, within easy driving distance of the many and varied coves, bays and white sand beaches of the crystal clear seas of both “Costa Paradiso” and “Costa Smeralda” you will find locals selling freshly grown fruit and vegetables, local cheeses, wine and fresh fish along the coast road. The house is 9 minutes from the fabulous long white sand beach of Badesi Mare, where there are facilities for various water sports, several café bars on the beach, deckchairs and loungers for hire, and of course the wonderful clear turquoise sea. There is a thermal section of river nearby, where one can bathe in the healing waters, take a mud bath or just relax on the rivers beach and soak up the wonderful atmosphere.
The local villages of Viddalba and Badesi are 5 minutes away in each direction, and between them you will find all facilities for shopping, including supermarkets, grocers, bakers, butchers (local organic meat), chemist, post offices and banks, as well as various cafés and bars.
500 metres down the road is an ‘Agriturismo’ or farmers restaurant, where the proprietor produces everything served on the table, including salami, pecorino (sheep’s cheese), home made pastas, suckling pig, Sardinian sweets and great local wine and liquors and of course one can walk home. There are many other restaurants and pizzerias in the local villages, as well as in the local seaside town of Valledoria (10 minutes).
There are lots of local festivals and all are invited, the Gallurese are known for their warm hospitality. Above all in Sardinia you will find tranquillity with its miles of unspoilt coastline and countryside, it remains one of the few beautiful "undiscovered" holiday islands left in Europe and only 2 hours from the U.K., and many other European destinations.

  Lovely Holiday in Sardinia

  Left on 05/26/2011 for a stay in May 2011
  
  

  "We had a lovely holiday in Sardinia. The accommodation was great, very traditional and comfortable with wonderful views of the sea and sunsets from the patio. There are some really good beaches nearby and lots to do. David and Vittoria were very helpful and made our stay rather special guiding us to the best beaches and restaurants and helping us sort out any problems we had. We will enjoy coming back to Sardinia and staying here again."
