Family-friendly holiday rentals in Porto Istana

We really liked the apartment, very central and with everything available. It allowed us to enjoy the village of Maddalena to the fullest. The air conditioning system worked very well (very important). The complete and essential decor, pots and dishes in abundance, spacious and functionally furnished bedrooms. The terrace is very large with partial views of the port (but which for us was not important) with a large table and chairs to eat outdoors. It overlooks a street with moderate traffic. There is no parking but we were able to use the free public parking almost always, with a walk back through the country always very pleasant. Alternatively, paid parking for 1 euro per hour. Communication with the owners was great and fast, we received all the answers to our questions of ordinary administration. I also recommend sailing trips!

There's a reason it's called Costa Paradiso... The location is a true paradise with a breathtaking view, completely immersed in nature. It is a paradise for those who want to spend a holiday in complete tranquility without giving up all comforts. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay, the villa was perfect for us and the views are outstanding. As it was earlier in the season, the pool and the hot tub were not available but that did not concern us. Communication with Lorenzo and his team was really good and his colleague David cheerfully waited for us even though our flight was 2 hours later than expected and it was 9pm. This villa is not near amenities (shops, restaurants etc) so a car is definitely needed. There are also steps up to the villa and inside it, that may be difficult for people with limited mobility. Overall it was a lovely week for us.

The house is in the middle of a forest, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by nature. The view is amazing, the house is comfortable and has everything you need, even a washing machine. Michele was friendly and helpful, 100% recommended

Really beautiful stay, spacious and clean

We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Porto Rotondo! The pool was such a hit with our daughter that it was difficult to pull her away from it so that we could go venture out to some of the stunning nearby beaches! Beautiful property with tons of private, quiet outdoor space. Gorgeous sunsets. Awesome being so close to the Seawall which is a nice walk and leads to many restaurants. Grocery stores nearby as well. Was great to have en suites for all bedrooms. Comfortable space for our family which was four adults and two young children. Thank you Alessandro!

We rented the apartment mainly because of the jacuzzi and the view. We weren't disappointed here! It was just a dream to start and end the day in this one. The temperature of the hot tub in April at 20*C air temperature for us was absolutely fine and not too cold for us and the 37*C of the hot tub was kept for several hours. Absolutely positive to mention is the friendly proactive nature of Christian, which definitely makes him a Superhost. His tips on which beaches and restaurants we should visit made this holiday unforgettable, as we were able to visit the breathtaking highlights of the area in a short time! Thanks Christian! Kind regards Tim & Finja

Spectacular home with a spectacular view and a spectacular host. The house is stunning. Very well stocked and the view is amazing. Giorgio met us at the property and sat with us. He went through the home and gave us recommendations to visit. Thank Giorgio we had a wonderful time.

Easy check-in and check-out; beach and restaurant recommendations from the host were great; problems were resolved very quickly. Rental car required, however

Wonderful place in an amazing location! Elisabetta was very clear on getting to the place, and so helpful and responsive during the stay. Even gave me golf tips for our outing at Pevero!

Enrico was a lovely host. He said to always ask him for beach recommendations so he could recommend something based on the direction of the wind and he never missed! He was also very helpful with any other sort of local recommendations for restaurants or other things to do, and unerringly friendly. He lives above the guest house, but it's very private. The location is absolutely stunning, the pool is even better than the picture, the garden is absolutely teeming with life. We were there in May, so it was full of flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, and frogs in the pool. We were also visited daily by the two dogs who live on the property. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Enrico!

Spectacular stay, immersed in the Gallura countryside, in the garden of the house tall oak trees, shady, and a beautiful swimming pool to cool off in the absence of a nearby beach. We had the very pleasant company of two kittens, polite and affectionate, and as night fell, a curious but discreet land hedgehog visited us. Very fresh house inside, a pleasant surprise for the summer that is beginning. Unexpected comfort in a country house: the dishwasher! It saved us from tedious post-dinner chores. Comfortable beds, a large bathroom with a washing machine, and a spacious and bright dining room. And surprise... free wifi! We thank Antonio for the pleasant weekend and we will be back!

The house and the property are just wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Pino, Silvana and Marco were very attentive hosts. Thank you!

Massimo’s house was perfect. We loved our stay. The house is in a great location, a short drive away from many beautiful beaches. The house had everything we needed. Great communication from Massimo! Thank you for the wonderful time :)

The Host Elena, Bruno and Ali are wonderful people. The Accommodation is clean and well maintained. Wild Peacocks and Turtles live in the garden. It’s an oasis of calmness and peace with a nice large pool perfectly fitted into the natural environment. Overall it’s a very warm and familiar experience and located well in regards of short ways to the airport, calm beaches, nice restaurants and shopping facilities. A very special moment was when our hosts showed up in the morning on our terrace to sing a birthday song for our 2 little daughters. What a nice and lovely gesture. For sure we will come back.

Giovanni's accommodation was very nice. The view from the terrace was indescribably beautiful. At breakfast and in the evening at sunset, there was a great atmosphere. The apartment was very functional and tidy. For us, traveling as a family of four with two "big" children (16/18), the apartment was perfect. 3 rooms. Plenty of storage space and room. A very spacious outdoor area with table/ chairs/ washing machine/ two deck chairs and my highlight a very nice outdoor shower with cold/warm water. We felt very comfortable. The covered parking space for our car was also ideal. The excursion options to Palau, the Maddalena Archipelago and for excursions to various beaches were ideal. A small market in Porto Pollo and beautiful restaurants in Porto Pollo have rounded off our holiday experience very positively. Giovanni had valuable tips for a trip to the Maddalena Archipelago or to rent a boat.

Lovely apartment, great location.

Beautiful, very well equipped apartment. The terrace offers plenty of space to eat and relax, great views of the sea and the pool. The outdoor area is also lovingly designed and very well maintained. We felt completely comfortable. Elisabetta gave us valuable tips, thank you again. The location is very convenient for exploring the area.

Everything was perfect. The apartment was really clean and convenient, the rooftop was just awesome, and the location was great. Cristiana was very responsive and gave us lots of good advice. Thanks a lot, and I hope to see you again soon!

We had two wonderful weeks in Giulio's apartment – six adults and a toddler – and enjoyed the time very much! We would like to highlight the great pool, the charming little outdoor kitchen and the warm outdoor shower - a real highlight that has absolutely made up for the fact that there is "only" one large bathroom with shower and a separate toilet. Communication with Giulio was excellent at all times – he was super helpful, always available and provided us with many great tips about the area. The entire stay went smoothly and relaxed. We would come back anytime and can recommend the apartment without reservation. Thank you, Giulio, for the great hospitality and the wonderful stay!

We visited in low season so the whole area was really quiet, Giorgio and Elizabetta were great to communicate with for the few times we needed to chat as the house was perfect. We were met and given a lovely tour on checkin when Elizabetta explained everything, the apartment is very clean and we would certainly be back! The terrace is bigger than it looks in the pictures, enjoying sun late into the evening! Our dog loved it too as and the whole terrace is secure. Thanks again for the lovely holiday!

We had a wonderful stay in Sardinia in an absolutely superb house nestled in a pretty flowery residence. Fully equipped and decorated with originality and taste by the owner's father, who was a famous artist in the region. Quality bedding in the 3 bedrooms Beautiful view of the sea and the pool from the terrace. A huge thank you to the owners, who were remarkably kind and available. Welcoming, attentive and always ready to share their good addresses or to help, they largely contributed to making our stay unforgettable. We'll be happy to go back!

We had a wonderful time in this house. It was clean and had everything we needed. Is it set in beautiful nature without surrounding houses. Dario is a great host and made us feel extremely welcome. Thank you, we will be back!

We had a lovely stay - the place was just like the pictures. The beach was very close and beautiful with a beach bar. The local port was within a 20 minute walk away. Lovely peaceful place.
