About the home

Dommu Asuletta is a charming holiday home in the medieval town of Bosa, on the west coast of Sardinia.

The house, which is full of character and original features, lies at the heart of the medieval quarter of Bosa and is well-placed for all the sights and activities and only a minute from the shops and restaurants. It offers flexible self-catering accommodation, sleeping from 2-6 (via two main bedrooms) over four floors with full modern facilities and two bathrooms - one ensuite.

Situated on the Temo river and just 2km from the sea, Bosa is the hidden jewel of Sardinia. Steeped in history and culture, it is off the tourist track yet has so much to offer. From the beautiful unspoiled beaches (Bosa Marina is consistently voted one of Italy's cleanest beaches) to the cultural sights, fine dining and relaxed night life – there is plenty to enjoy whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a place to enjoy with friends.

PARKING: The house is nestled in the cobbled back streets of the historical town and so there is no official parking on the same street. However, there is ample street parking 5 minutes away. Via Alzuni and near the church are both great spots.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Children and adults alike will love this eccentric house – no wall is straight, and you will need to duck through doorways if you are more than five feet tall. But, when all the windows and doors are open, it is bright and cool and a rather wonderful place! If you want to stay somewhere truly individual and interesting then welcome to Dommu Asuletta!

Ground floor
The ground floor is where the beach stuff is stored and also the cleaning materials. If you have golf, fishing, wind surfing or other water sports equipment, this is the place to store it. You will also find the recycling boxes here.

1st Floor
The first floor has a double bed and two single beds (one is a pull-out bed). The room is a good size and well divided, perfect for a couple with two children but less convenient for four sharing adults. There is no balcony in this room and it is only one flight of stairs up to the bathroom.

2nd floor
The second floor contains the bathroom and a small sitting room. The room has a selection of books, games, toys and some CDs.

The 3rd floor
The master bedroom on the third floor enjoys more privacy. The room has a double bed and also a fold-up single bed. There is an ensuite bathroom with a shower.

Kitchen / Terrace*
The 4th and final floor is the kitchen and the terrace and it is probably the room where you'll spend the most amount of time. There is a fully fitted kitchen, cooking utensils and everything you need to cook in the Italian style.

Further details outdoors:
PARKING: The house is nestled in the cobbled back streets of the historical town and so there is no official parking on the same street. However, there is ample street parking 5 minutes away in the many local streets. Via Alzuni and near the church are both great spots.

TERRACE: Even if you plan to eat out for all of your stay, the terrace is the perfect place to start the day with a cappuccino or end it with a relaxing glass of wine. Of an evening, it is the ideal vantage spot to watch the world go by and, if you look up the hill, you can see the Castello Malaspina overlooking the old town.

Conditions

SMOKING: Smoking on the terrace is fine!

“Stunning setting” Bosa is a magical spot offering up unspoilt treasures to the interested visitor esp. out of the main tourist season. The house offers excellent access to all services and the 15min walk to the beach is a real pleasure along the river. Greg and Helen could not have been more accomodating and helpful either before, during or after our trip. The visitor does need to understand, though, that the house is a traditional one and, whilst charming, does have many very narrow stairs and low doorways and archways! Response: Thanks very much for your feedback. Yes, the house is tall and narrow and full of original features, including a couple of low archways and some narrow stairs – even the arched front door looks like it was built for a hobbit! All of the houses in the medieval historical centre are like this. In our opinion, this is what makes this traditional Sardinian home so charming. Our descriptions on our advert and website provide full details – room-by-room. Thanks for letting us know about the missing tin opener, the broken cup and toaster not functioning correctly. This does happen over the course of the season so we are grateful when we are notified. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and have swiftly replaced them now.

“Beautiful, idyllic and romantic.” This was my first visit to Sardinia and although friends had told me how lovely the scenery was I was not expecting such unspoilt natural beauty. The drive to Bosa took about 40minutes and the route is almost entirely along the coast with spectacular views . The village of Bosa is completely unspoilt by tourism and is made up of intertwining cobbled streets with plenty of local restaurants . The exterior of the house is beautifully in keeping with the local architecture and the interior has been tastefully renovated to an excellent standard spread over 4 floors . The kitchen is on the top floor with doors opening on to a terrace where we had breakfast every day in the morning sunshine! The master bedroom has an ensuite and we were supplied with plenty of clean bedlinen and towels. On the second floor there is a small living area with a tv and DVD player with a great selection of DVD' s for relaxing in front of. The main bathroom is fully equipped and has a washing machine available for use. We visited at the end of the Summer season and it was delightfully quiet . I would thoroughly recommend Dommu Assuletta as a place to stay and I look forward to staying there again .

“A beautiful find!” My partner and I were absolutely delighted with the apartment in Bosa. We were lucky to find it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends, colleagues and family. The owner of the property is very friendly and helpful and the price he quotes you is the true price with no add ons (unlike many other holiday rental properties in Sardinia). We hope to return to Domu Assuletta in the not too distant future!

“A fabulous house in a the beautiful town of Bosa” We had a wonderful fortnight in a house that has everything that you need. Bosa is a lovely town with some lovely resturants bars & cafes. If you need supermarkets there a couple of small ones in town just around the corner from the house, then larger ones 15 minutes walk or a short car journey. Bosa Marina Beach is wonderful & is a 10 minute drive or you can jump on the regular train from the town. There are other great coves / beaches a short drive out of town. Fully recccomended, thanks for our stay.

“The Ultimate relaxing getaway” Our introduction to Sardinia couldn't have been more perfect. The house was magical, full of character and charm, uncomplicated and at the same time, equipped with all the comforts you might need or want when you are away from home. The terrace was our favorite spot and if you get to visit, and you should, you will know why, the roof tops view were as good as they get and gazing at the incredible star canopied sky occupied most of our evenings. The location couldn't have been better, right in the center of town where everything was at hand, delightful local shops selling all kinds of delicious Italian goodies made really difficult to escape and explore the outskirts of Bosa, which, when we did, did not disappoint; the beaches were beautiful and unexploited with amazing blue clear waters, the secluded Cala Compoltittu being our favourite. People were warm and friendly and never made us feel like tourists. Thanks to the Woods Family, we will definitely be back, including our snorkels!

“A truly magical and stylish house equipped with everything required to ensure a comfortable stay” A beautifully decorated house set in a cobbled street just behind the main square. The house itself is imposing and painted the most delightful blue making it stand out from all the others. The rooms are large and well furnished and all lead up to the top floor which houses a fully functional and modern kitchen with a balcony attached for al fresco dining. The owners could not have done more to accomodate and i will definitely be returning and recommending to all my friends. Response: Thanks for a great review. We have recently upgraded much of the decor and furniture so it has everything you need for the perfect holiday.

“A truly magical experience, the best family holiday ever !” We are a family of four with two kids aged 8 and 11, just back from Dommu Asuletta (the first week of september )and beautiful Bosa and what a Gem of a town . The minute we stepped into the old town we were enamoured!! As beautiful as it is unpretentious, you can feel the history and depth of character as you wander the romantic cobbled streets reminiscent of a little venice BUT without the crowds, there are numerous charming restaurants to eat in ,whatever the budget, the fun is in wandering around finding them, there are plenty very near to the house too and the supermarket stocks great wines at very reasonable prices as well as lots of lovely breads and picnic fare for the beach lunches ! What can we say about the house and the owners Greg and Helen, helpful and kind from the very first comunication with them, they did everything to make us feel welcome and truly understood how much a great family holiday means these days and that makes all the difference. We were looking for a place not yet swarming with tourists or built up so much that the magic is lost and boy did we find it ! The house itself is top class, full of charm and decorated elegantly, and now we can say we stayed in a real medieval house! The views from the terrace are fab, rustic mountains for a backdrop and beautifully lit streets, Bosa Marina beach is lovely, really safe and when we were there we pretty much had it to ourselves in the mornings, there are so many other beaches nearby too well worth a vist, and Bosa makes a great base to explore the western coast being close enough to Tharros, Alghero and also if you want to make a day trip to La Pelosa in Stintino, its all possible from Bosa. I can't recommend this diamond of a town and Dommu Asuletta enough, we were so sad leaving. The people here are very special and super friendly and we had such fun in the picturesque square in the evenings ordering ice-creams and trying different local wines while the kids ran around and played safely. Thank you guys for a wonderful holiday and for being so kind to us in all our communications. We always say we will vist a place once and then move on but i think we left a piece of our hearts in Bosa and we may have to go back to collect them !! Would definately go back here again and stay at Dommu!! Response: You've more or less summed up (probably better than we can) all the reasons that we find Bosa, Sardinia and our home Dommu Asuletta such a magical setting for a holiday. Thank you for such a charming and comprehensive review - it's always lovely to hear when someone shares our appreciation of the many things that we enjoy there. Please visit again soon – you were the perfect guests and a pleasure to communicate with!

“Love this place, we'll be coming back.” This was our first visit to Sardinia and we really weren't sure what to expect. We certainly didn't want to stay in a pretentious and outrageously expensive resort, so we were delighted when we discovered the lovely Dommu Asuletta. We deliberately avoided the glitz and glamour of the north in favour of the more traditional and peaceful Bosa on the West Coast. The home is bigger than you think but so cute and rather quirky. It has so much charm and character, very much in keeping with that historical and traditional part of town. Beware, mind your head when climbing the stairs after an evening out, especially if you've had a few glasses of wine! There's some really nice sight seeing to take in, although when we could drag ourselves off the sunny roof top, it was usually to go the lush beach. It's a good 20min walk, so would definitely recommend hiring a car (or scooter), especially if like us, you don't fancy being too energetic. A car is also handy for grabbing provisions and of course, exploring more of the island, which is well worht doing. There's loads of good and reasonably priced restaurants all over Bosa and plenty of friendly bars to chill out in with a cold beer after a hard day relaxing in the sun. We had such a great and relaxing time here, a proper holiday. We always love going to new places when we go away but we'll happily break that rule to come back to Dommu Asuletta. Response: It's a great idea to hire a car to explore the surroundings. There is so much to see and do on the island! However, we often visit and use the excellent bus service to get around instead. It just depends on how chilled and adventurous you want to be. BTW, thanks for this review and for being such a great guest – you are welcome back anytime. We will be happy to offer you a good price to stay next time as a repeat visitor to Dommu Asuletta! Take care and see you soon.

“Fabulous house, gorgeous town, never wanted to leave!” Dommu Asuleta is one of the picture perfect Bosa townhouses that give the town such character. It's in a perfect location right in the centre of town near the main square so there are plenty of lovely places to eat and drink nearby. We absolutely loved the house, it is so characterful and the roof terrace on the top floor is amazing with stunning views and a great sun trap! The house had literally everything you could possibly need and the bathroom and kitchen are brand new and fully kitted out. Bosa itself is gorgeous. The river is so pretty and the beach was huge and we mostly had it to ourselves! The locals are all really friendly and we had some comedy attempts at speaking Italian. The bus service from Alghero is brilliant too, there are about 4 buses a day and it's only a few euros. I would definitely go back and would definitely stay in this house again. Top marks!

“Cannot wait to return to this wonderful home away from home” Abbiamo trascorso la settimana di ferragosto 2011 nella Dommu Asuletta e siamo rimasti entusiasti della casa e di Bosa. Dommu Asuletta è una torre nella parte storica di Bosa. E' raggiungibile solo a piedi e si trova in una stradina molto stretta parallela al corso principale del paese. Si può parcheggiare la macchina in una piazzetta vicina, al di fuori dell'area pedonale, a circa 150 metri dalla casa. La casa è accogliente e si sviluppa su 5 piani, collegati tra loro da una scala ripida. Superato lo scoramento iniziale, anche la scala nel corso dei giorni diventa facile da fare e contribuisce a bruciare le calorie che il favoloso cibo sardo apporta ! Gli spessi muri antichi e le numerose finestre permettono di avere sempre una piacevole fresca temperatura interna in cui riposarsi nelle ore più calde della giornata. All'ultimo piano c'è la cucina e un bel terrazzo a pianta quadrata dove si può mangiare affacciati sui tetti di coppi del centro di Bosa godendo del venticello portato dal vicino mare. Attorno alla casa ci sono nuerosi negozi di alimentari (da provare la pasticceria in fondo al vicolo e l'incredibile pizza al taglio servita solo da asporto in una piccola pizzeria che dà sulla piazza del parcheggio) e caratteristiche trattorie e ristoranti dove si può mangiare molto bene a prezzi ragionevoli. Per la spesa più grande ci sono due supermercati raggiungibili in macchina in 5 minuti che hanno anche un'ottima selezione di vini sardi con cui allietare le serate in terrazza. Il mare si trova a circa 2 km, a Bosa Marina, e è molto bello. La spiaggia è libera e ben tenuta. Ricordarsi di comprare un ombrellone con cui proteggersi nelle ore più calde. Se dovessimo usare un'immagine e una sensazione per descrivere il nostro soggiorno, mi viene in mente la gentilezza delle persone di Bosa in generale e dei vicini di casa, pronti a farvi partecipi delle loro interessanti storie, e l'immediato ambientamento che si raggiunge con la casa. La sensazione che si prova è di essere sempre stati a Dommu Asuletta sebbene, ahi noi, la casa è di Helen e Greg ! Speriamo di poterci tornare presto. Grazie.
