A base for exploring the beautiful coast
The beaches in this part of Sardinia are stunning and the house in Bari Sardo allowed us to drive to a different one every day for the week we were here within five / ten minutes.
The town is very much a small working town and with lovely beach side restaurants all up the coast we didn't feel tempted to eat out here or spend much time in the town.
Paulo was a very kind host giving us pieces of fresh fruit during our stay and making us feel welcome. He stayed up with his family to welcome us when we arrived very late from our delayed flight to the island. We were very grateful for the chilled beers and mineral water in the fridge.
There was a bit of confusion over how many rooms we were allowed (we thought we had booked the whole house but there was a suggestion that we would only use two bedrooms) but we soon cleared this up and we had the whole house for the week - I would double check on booking.
The house is set over three floors with a kitchen and dining room/ patio on the ground floor, two double bedrooms (one en suite and air conditioned) and shower next to each other on the first floor. Outside and up a flight of stairs is a double room with en suite looking out onto the top terrace.
The fourth bedroom is a through room with a pull out sofa bed - it would feel quite crowded with a lot of people there used as a bedroom.
We loved the terrace with the table, chairs and sunloungers - perfect for breakfast and lazy mornings.
The kitchen was lacking a few items (cheese grater and wine glasses to mention two important things) and we wouldn't have wanted to done anything more than cook very simple meals for a a few people there.
The location in the heart of some narrow streets with parking in an internal shared courtyard next to Paulo's house won't suit nervous drivers but Paulo was very helpful getting us in and out of our parking spot.
The house has a very rustic feel and if the decor / furniture was updated and there was better equipment ( such as a fan for each room in the summer!) it would make a huge difference and we would rate it more highly.
