Siamo arrivati con tutta l’emozione che si può avere quel giorno e una volta accolti in casa l’emozione è aumentata. La padrona di casa ci ha accolto come una madre accoglierebbe suoi figli, ovvero come una favola. La casa ha tutti i confort che si possano immaginare: una bella visuale, una zona tranquilla e silenziosa, e ciliegina sulla torta, una bella piscina circondata da prato e zona relax.. Può essere se non questo un sogno? I padroni di casa sono amorevoli, due bravissime persone pronte ad ascoltare le esigenze degli ospiti, tanto che per questa giornata speciale ci hanno fatto sentire a casa, viziati di ogni lusso. Consigliare “La forma dell’acqua”? Beh, direi che prenoterò qualche altra vacanza lì, quindi si, la consiglio vivamente a chi ha voglia di pace e di staccare qualche giorno dalla solita monotonia giornaliera. ##### Elisa C. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [splendid holiday villa Alghero Valverde 122](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Rvvalghero-Myrtus.h63111636.Hotel-Information) > - [UNA HOTELS T Hotel Cagliari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cagliari-Hotels-T-Hotel.h1217737.Hotel-Information) > - [Is Serenas Badesi Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Badesi-Hotels-Is-Serenas-Badesi-Village.h67311082.Hotel-Information) > - [Li Neuli Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-Li-Neuli-Country-Club.h38960471.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Olbia Sardinia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Olbia-Sardinia.h3585794.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Calabona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Calabona.h83099370.Hotel-Information) > - [Mediterranean villa with private pool on Foxi Manna beach in Sardinia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tertenia-Hotels-Villa-Mediterranea-Sulla-Splendida-Spiaggia-Di-Foxi-Manna-In-Sardegna.h68456216.Hotel-Information) > - [Casale Laghia with nice pool for 12 guests in Modica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Modica-Hotels-Casale-Laghia-With-Nice-Pool-For-10-Guests-In-Modica.h35559975.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Don Pedro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portoscuso-Hotels-Hotel-Don-Pedro.h3385828.Hotel-Information) > - [Residenza Pierre et Vacances Badus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Badesi-Hotels-Pierre-Vacances-Residence-Badus.h2705352.Hotel-Information) > - [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > - [L'Ulivo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Girasole-Hotels-LUlivo.h2691601.Hotel-Information) > - [Cala Rosa Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stintino-Hotels-Hotel-Cala-Rosa.h46289229.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Larco, Private Villa, Pool & Gardens & Stunning Views](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tempio-Pausania-Hotels-Villa-Larco.h67332317.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel San Teodoro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Teodoro-Hotels-Hotel-San-Teodoro.h2080527.Hotel-Information) > - [Moma Hotel Cannigione](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arzachena-Hotels-Hotel-Moma.h46396852.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Palau](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palau-Hotels-Hotel-Palau.h1181190.Hotel-Information) > - [La Villa del Re - Adults Only - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiadas-Hotels-La-Villa-Del-Re-Adults-Only.h8115105.Hotel-Information) > - [Calaserena Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quartu-SantElena-Hotels-Calaserena-Village.h1661510.Hotel-Information) > - [Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel, Costa Smeralda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arzachena-Hotels-Romazzino.h24461.Hotel-Information) > - [Sunset Bay Pool Villa Sardinia Heated Swimming Private Pool with Whirlpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Valledoria-Hotels-Sunset-Bay-Heated-Swimming-Private-Pool-Villa-Sardinia.h64993459.Hotel-Information) > - [LH La Funtana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Teresa-Di-Gallura-Hotels-La-Funtana-Hotel.h2534878.Hotel-Information) > - [Borgo Santo Pietro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiusdino-Hotels-Relais-Borgo-Santo-Pietro.h4644735.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Cavalieri Country Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villa-San-Pietro-Hotels-Villa-Cavalieri.h83266056.Hotel-Information) > - [LH Pedraladda Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelsardo-Hotels-Hotel-Pedraladda.h1426894.Hotel-Information) > - [COLONNA RESORT, a Colonna Luxury Beach Hotel, Porto Cervo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arzachena-Hotels-Colonna-Resort.h1830456.Hotel-Information) > - [La Siesta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Maddalena-Hotels-La-Siesta.h92165652.Hotel-Information) > - [Castello di Guarene](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guarene-Hotels-Castello-Di-Guarene-Relais-Chateaux.h14800271.Hotel-Information) > - [Residenza Olivo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garda-Hotels-Residence-Olivo.h39084455.Hotel-Information) ---
