About the home

Appartamento Bella Vista is located just a short walk from the many superb restaurants and bars of the quaint little fishing village , Porto San Paolo. With stunning views of the majestic Tavolara island , wake up each morning to the sight of foam crested waves, then take a stroll down to the pretty horse shoe shaped bay, with powdery white sand and translucent waters reminiscent of the caribbean. Despite the cosmopolitan atmosphere of this popular seaside village, it still appears to have been completely bypassed by the world of mass tourism.

For the golf enthusiasts amongst you the nearest golf course is less than a ten minute drive away, set next to the coast with panoramic views of the Costa Smeralda and surrounding islands. Porto San Paolo also boasts a large diving centre which is a ten minute walk from the apartment. If none of this appeals, why not take yourself off to the equestrian centre in the neighbouring town of San Teodoro, where pony trekking takes place daily next to world famous " La Cinta" beach . Here flamingoes,herons and wild ducks thrive.Alternatively, explore the glittering coastline and islands by hiring a speed boat from the local beach ... a day that will live in the memory for a long time to come !

The Sardinia region

It is almost impossible to illustrate with words just how beautiful and captivating this island is.Translucent blue waters fringed by powder white sand form a striking contrast to the luxuriant green vegetation everywhere. Despite being Italian, Sardinia has come under the control of every meditteranean power at one time including Romans, Phoenicians and Spaniards and this diverse history has given it a unique identity which is reflected in the local Sardinian cuisine. Sardinia is a culinary delight for almost every palate, with local wines to tempt even the most distinguished wine taster.
With a superb climate and range of attractions Sardinia really does hold something for everyone. Wild horses,flamingoes and seals are all resident. For the historian in you, the Island does not disappoint - Roman ruins and grottos can be found in various places over the island set against dramatic mountainous backdrops.Once visited, Sardinia is never forgotten.

The Costa Smeralda / Porto San Paolo area

A delightful harbour resort with quaint winding roads, bars and a number of excellent restaurants to suit every budget ranging from your basic pizzeria and spaghetti house, to the more sophisticated and adventurous fish restaurants that border the waters edge of this pretty little resort.
Porto San Paolo comes alive at night with artisan shops opening to sell their locally crafted produce,whilst the nightly street market ( in high season) sells anything from handbags to paintings.
By day play tennis, relax at the beach,go pony trekking,pay a visit to the local diving centre, try wine tasting at some of the local wine producing outlets, play golf on one of Europe's most breathtaking courses, hire a boat to explore the islands that are peppered along the sardinian coastline, or alternatively sit back and sip a glass of wine on one of the many guided tours. The possibilities are endless, although with scenery this beautiful it is sometimes quite satisfying to simply sit and watch the world go by.

“Fabulous Holiday” "The apartment was everything we had hoped for and more. It has really lovely views and is in easy walking distance of all amenities. We very much enjoyed strolling down to the town at night and ate in some excellent restaurants during our week in Porto San Paolo. It was a refreshing change to stay in an apartment with good beds and the peaceful location, coupled with large wooden shutters mean't that we could actually enjoy a lie in. The apartment was clean and tastefully decorated. We came back feeling revived and indulged. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to any one who fancies a restful break in idyllic surroundings. We are already planning when we can go next !" Response: We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay so much. We also enjoy a slow amble down to the seafront at night, to soak up some of the Italian atmosphere. Thank you for choosing to book with us; we look forward to hearing from you in the future.

“This is VACATION!” Clean and fresh apartment, with everything we needed for our stay with our two children (5 and 7 years). Beautiful view from the balcony, and a nice spot for warm afterbeach sunshine on the stairs at the back of the building. We BBQ in the backyard while the children played, and we had wonderful nights at the balcony. Nice beds, and nice bathroom. Perfect for 4 - we would love to come back! For families with small children, the windows are not secured and the stairs are quite steep so you might watch them a little extra. Response: We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much that you wish to return. We also love to BBQ in the back garden whilst the children play nearby and we then retire to watch the sunset on the balcony. Thank you for your constructive comments regarding the windows; there is in fact a safety feature whereby you may open the windows a jar from the top ( so they tilt open ) and you have alerted me to the fact that we should highlight this in our literature. Thank you also for the lovely letter of thanks that you wrote. We look forward to hearing from you in the future

“Lovely apartment with great views;wonderful location.” We loved the stay and definitely intend to go back for a longer period.The apartment was ideal with a superb balcony,whilst the location gave easy access to the beaches,the islands and a variety of excellent restaurants,both on foot and at nearby sites along the coast.The immediate area has a marvellous atmosphere,very Italian but without crowds and has been tastefully developed.Altogether a genuine delight. Response: Thank you for your valued feedback. We take the satisfaction of our renters very seriously, so it is good to know that you had a wonderful time at the apartment and that you wish to book again.

Guestbook for Appartamento Bella Vista

Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful apartment. We have stayed in many apartments over the years and
I have to say that the standard of furnishing and decor in 'Bella Vista' is way superior to any that I have experienced. I loved waking up to the sight of Tavolara island and shall definitely be returning! Karen Billings, Kent.

The Holiday was fantastic in every way and the apartment was excellent and exceeded our high expectations.The beaches were as you had described. I have never seen such blue sea.Thank you for all the help you gave. Pamela Healey,Newport.

Absolute heaven ! I have just had the most perfect holiday in your apartment. The view of Tavolara is now my 'safe place' when I am stressed at work. We really hope to book the same two weeks in May next year , finances permitting. Thank you also for all your help. Sarah Baxter,Eastbourne.

The views of Tavolara island are beautiful,we got up ridiculousy early several mornings to enjoy the stunning sunrises.The restaurant recommendations were very useful and we tried out the 3 closest to the apartment, all of which were lovely.Chikka was very helpful in organising several things for us and being on hand to answer any queries.All in all we had a great holiday and we look forward to the possibility of returning. Helen Faulkner, Barnstaple,N.Devon.

Hi Kate.I just wanted to drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed our holiday and how fabulous the apartment was. We could not have wished for a more perfect base from which to explore. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and by the sounds of it, we timed it perfectly considering the deluges in the UK! Jo Harris,Horfield Bristol.

Hi Kate.Thanks for the use of your apartment for our weeks holiday in Sardinia. We all had a wonderful time and did not want to come back home. The apartment and location in Porto San Paolo were superb.The changing colours of Tavolara Island throughout the day never failed to delight us.All in all we had a wonderful time and hope to return in the near future and would not hesitate to recommend your apartment to our family and friends. Gareth Edwards,Barry, Glamorgan.

We had a great time and visited all the places on your list, which we found very helpful. The beaches were the best I have seen in Europe and were mostly deserted. The apartment was excellent,clean and modern,exactly what we like and expected. Once again thanks for all your help. I will tell people how nice Sardinia is and recommend your apartment if people are interested in visiting.Garry Fisher ,Solihull,West Midlands.

We had a marvellous holiday, I have cruised several times through Italy,this was our first visit to Sardegna but definitely not the last. You have chosen a very nice spot on the island to buy an apartment, I am very sure that you will hear from us again. It's a wonderful island with very kind and friendly people. Thanks for everything, Co. Co Brekelmans, The Netherlands.

Apart from being stung by a Tracola ( poison spine fish ) it was a blissful holiday and Kikka was amazing help with this and everything else. We visited nearly everywhere you recommended and became very fond of the nearby restaurants, La Conghilli ( or something similar ). Once again, thank you for all your advice and letting us use your beautiful apartment. Lucy Cockshott, Leeds.

We had a fantastic holiday, thank you very much. I can honestly say that it was one of our best holidays ever, if not the best. I was so upset to come back. We all loved it, even the little one seemed to have a great time. The place was absolutely fantastic, it exceeded my high expectations. Your house is beautiful, you are so lucky! And the people there are just so friendly. It was all fantastic.Once again, thank you for all your tips, they made the holiday so much easier and more enjoyable.Can I ask if the apartment is already booked for June next year? We’re seriously considering going again as we loved it so much, and, finances permitting, would like to stay for even longer. Ricardo Pimenta, Ewell.

Thanks for everything and all your kind wishes. Sardinia is a truly beautiful country. Your apartment is located in a fantastic spot and we felt very much at home.Fiona, Ken, Gael and Ewan. Scotland.

Hi Kate,just wanted to let you know,we had a super holiday,the five of us are well rested & feel the break has done us all good.The weather couldn't have been better,we were swimming in the sea every day!
We didn't bother hiring a car when we realised how close the apartment was to the supermarket & restaurants. We enjoyed the stroll down to the beach every day as well as the afternoon visit to the gelateria!! After 5 days or so,I'm normally ready to come back home but this time I could have quite happily stayed 2 weeks,I'm already missing the leisurely breakfasts sat on your balcony,the view is spectacular.
Anyway,thanks again for the restaurant info etc,we didn't manage to try them all but that's a good excuse to return next year! Sharon Tomms & family.

Hi Kate,thank you for letting us stay in your lovely apartment. The place was perfect and had everything we needed. We couldn't believe the view of Tavolara from the balcony! We had an absolutely lovely time and were amazed at how beautiful Sardinia was.It was a bank holiday on the day we arrived...luckily we arrived close to dinner time, so we didn't starve for too long! Thanks again for everything. We really hope that we can stay again at some point in the future. Sarah Williams, Cardiff.

Hi Kate,Just a quick email to say many thanks for the holiday. The arrangements worked out great. Many thanks for booking the restaurant for us it was great as were all the others we tried. We loved Sardinia and visited many of the beaches on the list. The golf course was superb. We will be back. Thanks again.
Rhoda.

Hi, just wanted to send a quick message to tell you that we absolutely loved the appartment! Hopefully we wil contact you for rental next year too! If you ever consider to sell it, please let us know.Merethe Nyvold Johannessen.
