The Sardinia region
Sardinia has long been Italians favourite holiday destination... now with many cheaper connections from UK many British holidaymakers are discovering why the Italians love it so much. Sardinia has the cleanest sea in the Mediterranean, with crystal clear water up to 40 metres deep in places. With miles of pristine silky sandy beaches, and one of the most beautiful coastline in the Mediterranean... Sardinia is completely unspoilt. Its large size and the low numbers of coastal hotels means it is not overwhelmed with tourists so retains its local character.
The remains of past civilisations dot the landscape from Nouraghic towers to Roman ruins and the later Spanish towers which rise every few kilometres along the coast. Combine the natural and cultural beauty with the friendly laid back Sardinian people, wonderful Sardinian dishes such as roast suckling pig, maloreddus the local pasta, famous pecorino cheese, sweets such as padulas and torrone and wonderful sfuso (local wines) from €1 a litre... try the cannonau (red) and vermentino (white). It all makes Sardinia a relaxing holiday destination which is hard to beat..
But Sardinia is more than beaches and unspoilt mountain scenery. Cagliari is a sophisticated city with wonderful Baroque and Medieval architecture, pavement cafes, department stores, art exhibitions, museums, a Roman amphitheatre and a great place to do a walking tour or catch the open-top bus or tourist train. Ohh... and don't miss the flamingoes on the drive home!
The Pula Sardinia / Perd'e Sali area
The pretty town of Pula has a market every Tuesday and concerts most evenings through the summer from Jazz to Pop and the odd string quartet or piano recital. It also has lovely shops and street markets during the summer months.
On the outskirts of the town is the Roman city of Nora which is situated on a beautiful headland with a gorgeous beach to one side where you can snorkel over the remains of parts of the town now underwater. The villa is 5 mins from aquaparc and 7 minutes from Is Molas International golf course. There are a number of outstanding beaches within a 30 minute drive for you to explore.
Sardinia has a rich cultural heritage and there are many festivals starting with St Efisio in May and including Ferragosta in August where flower-laden carts pulled by oxen arrive on Nora beach carrying the Virgin Mary. There is a mass followed by a procession of fishing boats and a massive firework display. Museums and events displaying Sardinian culture including music and dance are available throughout the summer.

Stayed here in Aug and loved it, the Villa is well appointed and has everything you'll need (Great fridge), the pool is large (very popular with our kids) and the surrounding views are amazing, the beach and small port are within walking distance although we took the car as had so much stuff (parking near beach no problem), Pula is a 5 min drive away and was a great place to eat and explore further afield are the larger more poular beaches which are beautiful but busy in Aug. I'd recommend Villa Vico del Porto to all. |

What a great place to relax with family and friends. Great pool. The villa was well appointed and had everything you required. Great pool. Superb views with a fab kitchen. Within a nice stroll from the marina and beach it really was perfect. Great pool. I just wished we'd booked for two weeks. Maybe next year? Regards, Simon, Gill and family with the Brister family Response: It's always lovely to hear that people enjoy the villa and area as much as we do. We would love to see you again for two weeks, next year or in the future. Many thanks for taking the time to offer your views to other prospective holiday makers. |
Guestbook for Villa Vico del Porto
"The villa was stunning, the situation was perfect (2 minutes walk from a wonderful taverna serving great pizza and with incredibly friendly owners who will chat to you in French, if your Italian isnt up to scratch also very close to Pula for a great evening out watching the world go by in the piazza), and wonderful owners who really make you feel like part of the family for the day when they take you out on Hejira (their beautiful yacht). Simply a wonderful base for a perfect holiday. The photos don't do the villa justice. A wonderful place to have an evening in by the barbie after a dip in the pool(that you really can have a decent swim in). We'll definitely be returning. Thanks Colette and Martin. " Kathy, Manchester
"10 out of 10. This is a beautiful, well cared for property in an excellent location. The owners are very helpful & pleasant to deal with." Alistair, Edinburgh
