Just back from a great holiday at Villa Mannu. Firstly dealing with the Paul the owner was very easy. He clearly is a man of his word and replied promptly to all our messages. The property isn't the most polished of the ones we've stayed in but it is clearly a family home (as described) and was clean. In fact the facilities there like numerous DVDs, books, wifi etc were used by all. The table tennis and basketball kept us all amused with parents vs kids games. The pool is a bit small but was clean and fine for us all to splash around and relax. We actually spent a lot of time at the villa because we needed a relaxing break and because it was so comfortable, like a home away from home.

You'll need a car to get around but one of the best things was that you could walk to a lovely beach nearby and not worry about crazy parking. In fact we would often go for a few hours in the evening and the kids would snorkel (fish and octopus seen) or play in the sea / sand so we didn't have to commit to a full day sweltering on the beach if we isn't want to.

Bosa itself is small but has some good restaurants so dining out not a problem. Alghero is less than an hour away and there is plenty to do there. Boat trip to Neptune's Grotto highly recommended.

Both my wife and I work pretty hard and we needed to unplug and recharge and Villa Mannu was perfect for that.

In summary plus points were Paul and Una the owners and great customer service, comfortable clean villa with great facilities, stunning views, access to beach, good eateries in Bosa. Would happily recommend.
