The house is great - lovely pool and everything was incredibly clean and well equipped - including the state of the art bbq.Location is good - walkable into small town with bars, restaurants and small shops. Short drive to some fantastic sandy beaches.We also enjoyed going to the Nora village and the caves (35 minutes drive north).We did have a few small issues but in each case the owner dealt with them straight away and without any fuss.Great holiday - would recommend this property and location.
We enjoyed a lovely relaxing week at Villacool. The property was perfect for our family group of 6 adults. The villa is well equipped and we particularly enjoyed the outdoor kitchen area. The pool is a great size and absolutely gorgeous! And although we enjoyed exploring local beaches, it was hard to tear ourselves away from the pool area. The village is a short walk away (though it can be punishing in the heat in the middle of the day!) and has a number of grocery shops, a bakery, butchers and cafe/ bars which were perfect to supplement supplies from the larger supermarket in Pula. We enjoyed a lovely meal at Nikoâs pizzeria in the main square. We canât recommend Villacool highly enough!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Villacool in Sardinia! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful surroundings and the cozy, well-maintained accommodation. The house was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The location was perfect â close to stunning beaches, charming villages, and scenic hiking trails. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great tips for exploring the area. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this holiday home to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway in Sardinia!
a brilliant stay with friends in a wonderful villa
we enjoyed the very clean, modern and spaceious villa with all things that you need for holidays esp. the grill, the pool, the air condition and silence becaus of the location in a very nice part of the village.
We had a wonderful week in villa cool. Lovely villa, great pool. Beaches are 15-20 minute drive and are absolutely beautiful. Local restaurants 20 min walk to town serve delicious food.
We had a very pleasant stay at Villacool, Domus de Maria. The property is clean, well equipped, and great both indoors and outdoors. The swimming pool was notably in excellent condition. We mostly ate outdoors and the outdoor gas BBQ was much appreciated. The house is a little way inland, as shown in the property listing, and therefore away from busy tourist areas, which means there is a short drive to get places but also that the property is quiet and relaxing. Definitely recommended.
A lovely place to relax, well away from all the bustle of conventional holiday resorts,. The villa is in a beautiful setting, and with easy access to lovely beaches and restaurants. The house and pool are lovely and means you can spend a day 'in' without compromise.
Fantastic home for your summer vacation in southern Sardinia
We had a great week in Villacool and enjoyed both the beautiful nearby beaches and the large private pool at the villa.
The villa is spacious and you will find all that you need for a comfortable stay. Domus de Maria is a small sleepy but also nice little town where enjoyed a morning coffee and pizza dinner.
We would for sure recommend Villacool to other families and be happy to return.
We enjoyed the very quiet and spacious villa. Specifically the communication with Manuele, the owner, was perfect. He helped to sort out small issues very quickly. We were 4 adults and 1 kid and had more than enough space to relax and have fun at the pool.
Beautifully decorated villa, very well appointed and spotlessly clean. In a lovely setting a short hop from the local village centre. Brilliant communication from the owner and always went that extra mile to ensure all of our needs were met. Would have no hesitation in recommending, one of the nicest villas we have every stayed at. Shame we are now back to the dreary, wet, cold UK!
The Villa was as beautiful as expected and the host provides a lot of info about about the region which was helpful with planning our stay. Our group had a rental car and we spent our days out and about at beaches, golf, wineries and the Villa was a great place to spend our evenings together. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook dinner in and there are also plenty of great restaurants a short drive away. Both Manuele, the host, and Francesca, the on-site contact are very responsive and helpful.
Lovely villa in a peaceful and beautiful area of Sardinia. Some amazing (and relatively uncrowded) beaches are around a 15 minute drive away. There are 2-3 nice restaurants/pizzerias around 20 minutes walk away and many more within driving distance. Quite a few villas nearby are undergoing some building work, but there was no significant noise disruption whilst we were there. The villa is really nice, having also recently completed some improvement work; and the large pool was great to cool down in! The owner (Manuele) was helpful and responsive, and this was really appreciated!
The villa was clean, excellent location for privacy, (you will need a car to go anywhere), pools was clean and great fun. The only issue I had, which has nothing to do with the owners, is the garbage! The town regulations are very strict and most be followed. At the end of our stay ( we did follow all the rules concerning the garbage) we had some garbage left and the manager was very helpful and said he would take care of it. The garbage instructions are very clear so if you follow them there will be no problems. Great family vacation villa. Would highly recommend,
We spent a fantastic week here in October. The villa was lovely - modern, clean, spacious and very well equipped. The booking process was easy and Manuele was really helpful and organised some groceries to be delivered prior to our late night arrival. The location was perfect for us, a nice quiet area but just a short drive away from the many gorgeous beaches in this part of Sardinia. The pool is beautiful though a little chilly at this time of year but it didn't stop our 3 boys from enjoying it, in fact they have asked to go back to Villacool next year! Upon our return home, we discovered we had left behind a much loved cuddly toy, once again, Manuele was extremely helpful, quick to respond and organised for its immediate return to us - much to my son's delight. Overall, our trip to Villacool and Sardinia was fantastic and we would love to return.
Our family of four spent two wonderful weeks at Villacool this August. The villa is beautiful. The large pool is perfectly positioned catching the sun all day with plenty of shady areas around it for when it gets too hot. The villa itself is beautifully presented, equipped with everything needed and more, bedrooms are very spacious and the layout of the house is fantastic.
The villa, although only a short 10 minute walk from the village is very private. Domus de Maria is a lovely quiet village with bakers (amazing breads and croissants), butchers and few small shops. It also has two pizzerias, both of which are lovely to spend an evening in over some delicious pizzas and few drinks. Other lovely restaurants are only a short drive away.
The amazing beaches of Chia are only 10-15 minutes by car.
The owner, Manuele, has been absolutely fantastic all the way through. He kept us in the loop in regards to the ever changing Covid-19 situation and what to expect on beaches, in restaurants, travelling etc. He has given us so much information before our holiday (best beaches, where to eat, where to visitâŠ) Nothing was too much trouble for him. We would highly recommend Villacool without any hesitation.
Our family of two adults and two teenagers spent a week at Villacool in Domus de Maria in June 2014. Our arrival was very simple with clear instructions on how to locate the villa. The villa was perfect for our family with a beautiful swimming pool in Mediterranean gardens with herbs such as rosemary filling the air with their beautiful smell. Outside there was an outdoor kitchen with barbeque which we used on two evenings. We used this shaded area most days for lunch al fresco. We also enjoyed the upper terrace in the early evening to relax before going out for dinner. Internally we found the villa to be immaculate, cool and spacious and was well equipped with every modern convenience such as cooker, microwave, fridge, washing machine, satellite TV and WiFi (very important for our daughters). There were two bathrooms which were very modern and luxurious. The house still has a new feel and has a very pleasing layout over split levels that allows a lovely view of the pool and gardens and a great bedroom space in the basement which is very cool and my daughter loved. The area is quiet and peaceful and we found the local people in Domus de Maria and in Chia to be very warm and friendly, and shops and restaurants were excellent value. We visited some of the beaches in the area such as Chia, SuGiudeu, Tueredda - Sardinia definitely has the best beaches in Europe! We dined out in Bithia restaurant close to the Chia Laguna Resort and returned for a second night as we really enjoyed their service and superb grilled sea bass. They had the best chips (hot and crispy) and we tried the local crispy bread for the first time which was served warm with fresh rosemary, yummy. We also visited the ancient ruins in Nora. The weather was gorgeous throughout our stay at Villacool and as we were so comfortable in the villa and pool we had trouble getting our girls to leave it and go exploring. My only complaints are that our time there went too quickly and I wish we could stay longer. Thank you Manuele for allowing us to experience the Dolce Vita in your little piece of paradise.

Ein toller Aufenthalt, insbesondere der Pool ist wunderbar. Die Anlage und das Haus sind sehr verwinkelt, was es noch interessanter macht. Alles will erkundet werden.
Die Kommunikation lief perfekt und selbst die Anreise spÀt in der Nacht war möglich.
Danke
