Soccer: 5 a side field. 3 tennis courts with night lighting. 1 bowling ground (for petanque). Daily and evening entertainment at the piano bar. The owners would particularly recommend the Sagittario restaurant (Via Al Mare 10, Trinita' D'Agultu) as a good value and good quality place to eat. Anthony Carella in the Sunday Times called it "...the kind of unpretentious Italian restaurant one dreams of finding." Owner Paulo Muzzigoni and manageress Irene Piga will give a warm welcome. Another recommendation is La Tana di Li Mazzoni (back to main road and turn left and it's on your left hand side)

The Sardinia region


Sardinia (Sardegna in Italian) is the largest island in the Mediterranean but perhaps one of the least known. It is part of Italy but in reality the locals refer to Italy as "the continent" and are certainly proud to be different.
With its wild beauty, crystal clear waters, expansive beaches, fabulous climate and fragrant air it is a favourite holiday destination for the Italians. And the locals do everything possible to retain all it's charm. With it's proximity to Africa it enjoys a fabulous year round sunny climate.
The Costa Paradiso / Calarossa area
The Calarossa residence lies in an unspoilt natural environment on the island's NW coast, just a few km from the charming port town of Isola Rossa, and the hilltop village of Trinita D'Agultu (usually just referred to as "Trinita") The gardens of Calarossa won the Homes Overseas Gold Award for Best Landscape Design and with it's small squares and stone archways it blends perfectly with the natural surroundings. Overall management of the residence lies with the French stock exchange listed company Pierre et Vacance

We rented the studio apartment for 5 nights and enjoyed our stay. The studio was very clean and pleasant to be in and although small in size it was perfectly adequate for a short stay with all the necessary equipment in the kitchen area and a reasonable size bathroom. The view from the little balcony was beautiful and the breeze was a welcome relief to the summer heat. The resort was well maintained and very tidy. There were two fantastic pools, various other activities and there was entertainment on through-out the day and most evenings provided by an animation team. This was very popular and fun for those who wanted to be involved, however my only criticism was that the noise and music was audible around the resort and in the studio apartment so any quiet time could only be taken during siesta. A car is necessary but the resort is well placed to discover hidden coves as well as popular beaches along the Costa Paradiso – all beautiful. Trips to towns like Santa Teresa di Gallura and Castelsardo are also possible and make for a nice day out. The owners of the property were very helpful and prompt with any questions or queries we had. We had an enjoyable stay. Response: The residence is marketed by Pierre & Vacance as being very family friendly. They employ a team of staff called "animators" who are on hand during high season to organize activities for the children and ensure they are provided with a wealth of activities through the day. We have found that a firm "No thank you" will keep them at bay if you do not wish to get involved. For the music, this is pretty standard for any Italian beach resort throughout July and August. If you are looking for a quiet time to go, try April/May or Sept/Oct |

The Calla Rossa complex is lovely - 3 beautiful pools, of varying sizes, all very safe for children. The whole site has really nice facilities: a charming restaurant, a choice of cafes and bars, and tennis and football facilities. The main joy was the people; it is very European, in a friendly way for families during the day, but also quite sophisticated way at night. The Calla Rossa team of young people made everyone feel involved if they wanted, in the pool and kids activites, but were also respectful of people's space. Nearby there were local beaches, one you could walk to through the dunes, and others a short car journey away. There is a local aqua park, which was fun for the day for children of any age. Food is expensive; the island isn't cheap, but it is beautiful, and overall we had a really relaxing, family friendly holiday. You can't guarantee Sun, but in the Summer, we had 7 lovely days in a row. The studio accomodation was compact, but somehow we got our family of 4 in. The facilities were very clean, and well equiped. It was really safe, and we had a great view over the Florence like tiled roofs and out to the sea in the background. The communication with the owner was excellent; he offered us travel advice, and when we had a problem with the gas cooker, one short call to Britain fixed it; he was always on hand, and always friendly. Overall, if you want the sun, great pools, things to occupy your children, or a relaxing space for yourself, with an air of Italian sophistication thrown in, then this is a great place. To confirm this, we are now booking again for this Summer, combining with a brief city stay in Rome. Response: There is a wide choice of restaurants within a 20 minute drive and also the option to self cater. Maybe also worth remembering, for those on a budget, pizzerias or trattorias will be better value than the more expensive "ristorante." We like the Sagittario in Trinita D'Agultu and would highly recommend the Gorgonzola and onion pizza! |

The resort is great..the apartment was the perfect base from which to explore the Nothern part of Sardinia - great beach book in the apartment helped us discover some beaches that rivaled the ones I have been on in Barbados. The owner was friendly and helpful. The resort people were fantastic...we found the Sardinian people wonderful and look forward to returning to this gem of a place and our 9 year old and 11 year old loved SARDINIA the friendliness of the people, the ice-cream and the amazing pool!! Thanks very very much - The Paxton Family PS just one thing a map of local area in the apartment marked up with local supermarkets would be useful. Response: We would suggest SISA in Badesi for food shopping. Spotlessly clean and used to tourists |
