Fantastique villa avec piscine à débordement sur la mer

Had a fantastic week at this villa. House itself, garden, outdoor facilities and pool were all top notch. A highly recommendable place to stay and a very nice and helpful owner (Valerio). If we ever go back to Torre delle Stelle, we know where to stay.

Surrounded by greenery, (providing perfect privacy), the villa is tastefully furnished and decorated and well cared for. Comfortable beds, efficient showers & air-conditioning, well-equipped kitchen, not very spacious, but then there's another one by the pool if you're cooking a banquet, and a big gas barbecue. Gorgeous pool with numerous sun beds and deckchairs and a covered games area with a brand new table tennis table (we made good use of that). Several communal areas easily accommodating 6-8 people but also secluded little niches if you want more privacy. Perfect!

Get your provisions in - nearby there's a perfectly adequate grocery store, obviously slightly pricier than the big supermarkets - rest and relax in good company and there's no need to leave. Alternatively explore the neighbouring sandy beaches (there are many) and little villages, check out Cagliari's museums and sights, take a boat trip, go to Nora for archaeology and admire the nuraghic construction techniques - all easily accessible from the villa. We (5 adults aged between 47 and 73) did a bit of both and had a fantastic holiday. We thoroughly recommend the villa for its location, the accommodation it provides, for the scenery and the tranquillity.

Before your holiday do make use of the App provided for all practical information (unfortunately we did that a bit too late) and do not hesitate to get in touch with Valerio who's a charming, very helpful and understanding host.

A SatNav is a must when negotiating the winding roads of Torre delle Stelle.

The villa is lovely and the ever-changing view fantastic. Our family of 6 rented for a week and enjoyed every minute- even watching the rain over the ocean for a brief time one day. The rooms are well appointed and the mattresses comfortable. Valerio could not have been more accommodating. Although tucked away in a private setting, there were numerous fun restaurants within a 15-minute drive. Don't miss the Wednesday family night dinner at Ristorante Genn'e Mari for the ultimate Italian immersion dinner. There are numerous lovely beaches in the area- some with amenities, some without, and it is close enough to Cagliari for a day trip or two.

The kitchen is small and not really suited for cooking big meals, but the fresh pasta, some salad, meats, cheeses and bread from the GSA market next to the restaurant (see above) will be easy to do, along with breakfasts and simple lunches. The oven in one level below in the poolside kitchen. Another comfy chair or two in the living space would be nice. We brought in patio chairs. Our family group plays cards, drinks wine and chats until the late hours and made great use of the spacious lounge.

The owners met us when we arrived. Their son Valerio was very helpful and all made us feel welcome. Valerio cheerfully answered phone calls and emails promptly, arranged for a cab to the airport for part of the group who had to leave early and arrived at 6:30 am with a smile on his face see us off the morning we left. Warning: roads in that part of Sardinia are often narrow, steep, winding, dirt washboards, but this is probably what has allowed it to remain quiet and secluded.

Wir werden wieder kommen....

Een week Torre delle Stelle met drie gezinnen (inclusief twee kleine kinderen). Het huis is zeer goed ingericht met veel ruimte. Je kunt zowel binnen als op het terras gelijkvloers buiten met 8 man aan tafel en ook beneden aan het zwembad nogmaals een tafel voor 8 personen. De keuken is prima, zeer veel servies, pannen en bestek. Zwembad niet voor hele kleine kinderen.

Koken mogelijk zowel in keuken als bij het zwembad, ook een grote barbecue en een houtoven.

Slaapkamers met prima bedden en badkamers.

Het huis was zeer schoon.

Zeer aan te bevelen vakantiegelegenheid.
