Quasi come dei figli. Torneremo sicuramente e lo consiglieremo a tutti i nostri amici o conoscenti. Emblematica é la risposta di Simona la padrona al mio complimentarmi per il loro 9.7 nella recensione. "Non basta noi puntiamo al massimo" ed è solo così che si raggiunge. Ancora tanti complimenti ##### Tomaso R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elisa C. 26 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### La vacanza dei miei sogni Per il terzo anniversario io e il mio compagno ci siamo recati qua. 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 > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Olbia Sardinia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Olbia-Sardinia.h3585794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Corallaro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Teresa-Di-Gallura-Hotels-Hotel-Corallaro.h4274763.Hotel-Information) > > [Lu' Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carbonia-Hotels-Lu-Hotel.h5616764.Hotel-Information) > > [Baglioni Resort Sardinia - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Teodoro-Hotels-Baglioni-Resort-Sardinia-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h5186303.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Corte Bianca, Bovi's Hotels - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardedu-Hotels-Hotel-Corte-Bianca.h32574661.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Olbia Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-Mercure-Olbia-Hotel-SPA.h3800081.Hotel-Information) > > [White House Luxury Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-White-House-Luxury-Hospitality.h20383183.Hotel-Information) > > [Jazz Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-Jazz-Hotel.h2906509.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Residence Ulivi e Palme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cagliari-Hotels-Hotel-Residence-Ulivi-E-Palme.h2533272.Hotel-Information) > > [Luna Lughente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-Luna-Lughente.h2602584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palau](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palau-Hotels-Hotel-Palau.h1181190.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Baia Di Conte](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Hotel-Baia-Di-Conte.h13064964.Hotel-Information) > > [Castelsardo Resort Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelsardo-Hotels-Castelsardo-Resort-Village.h4519687.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel dei Pini](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Hotel-Dei-Pini.h1426986.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Colonna Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golfo-Aranci-Hotels-VOI-Colonna-Village.h6993124.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Catalunya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Hotel-Catalunya.h1130553.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Cagliari by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cagliari-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Cagliari.h1403959.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Hotel Marina Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orosei-Hotels-Club-Hotel-Marina-Beach.h2149656.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) > > [Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golfo-Aranci-Hotels-Gabbiano-Azzurro-Hotel-Suites.h1402059.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Grande Baia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Teodoro-Hotels-Resort-Grande-Baia.h3374078.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Club Torre Salinas - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muravera-Hotels-Hotel-Club-Torre-Salinas-Adults-Only.h11011012.Hotel-Information) > > [Cala Luas Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardedu-Hotels-Cala-Luas-Resort.h4783367.Hotel-Information) > > [Petra Segreta Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Olbia-Hotels-Petra-Segreta-Resort-Spa.h1795494.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Teodoro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Teodoro-Hotels-Hotel-San-Teodoro.h2080527.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Oasis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Hotel-Oasis.h2532739.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo Doglio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cagliari-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-Doglio.h33715096.Hotel-Information) > > [TH San Teodoro - Liscia Eldi Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Teodoro-Hotels-TH-San-Teodoro-Liscia-Eldi-Village.h35890864.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Margherita](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golfo-Aranci-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Margherita.h78652.Hotel-Information) ---
