Porto Aranci

25.10.2023 | Porto Aranci

Beschreibung des Haues absolut korrekt, daher keine negative Überraschung. Terrasse ist tatsächlich etwas größer als beschrieben. Lage super. Das Einzige, was zu bemängeln wäre, ist das Alter der Badezimmer. Da könnte man für mal was investieren, da die Preis ja auch niocht geschenkt sind. Ausserdem steht überall, daß man Wasser sparen möchte, was leider nicht geht, da es ca. 5 Minuten dauert, bis das Wasser warm wird. Also, wer duschen möchte, muß erstmal das Wasser anstellen, einen Kaffee trinken und dann kann geduscht werden. Service von Sardena, war super ! Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Schöne Urlaub

12.06.2023 | Alexandra

Mit der Organisation, Buchung und die Reiseinformationen waren wir höchst zufrieden. Das Hause in Golfo Aranci hat traumhafte Lage - deutlich Näher zum Strand als in der Beschreibung angegeben (kleiner 20 Meter- einfach über die Straße), was die Tage sm Strand sehr komfortabel gemacht hat. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und war sehr sauber bei der Ankunft. Allerdings, man merkt, dass es etwas älteres Haus ist - daher die Bäder (was wir aber auf den Fotos schon gesehen und vor der Buchung gewusst haben) speziell. . Altes muss man mögen. Die technische Schwierigkeiten am Anfang wurde sehr schnell und effizient gelöst. Diese würde man sich aber im Urlaub eher nicht wünschen und bei dem Preis eher nicht erwarten. Die Küche ist eher sparsam ausgestattet- für die Frühstücke und sehr einfache Gerichte aber ausreichend. Insgesamt haben wir uns im Haus wohl gefüllt und die Tage auf Sardinien sehr genossen.

zwei erholsame Wochen auf Sardinien

24.10.2019 | ChLe

Anfang September 2019 eine Woche Golfo Aranci und eine Woche Casa3 in Sant´Elmo. Beide Häuser liegen wunderschön mit kurzen Wegen zu den Stränden. Ausstattung gut bis sehr gut, in Casa3 bestens. Organisation der Reise mit Unterlagen, Tipps und Hinweisen von Sardegna GmbH sehr professionell, die Betreuung vor Ort sehr freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit. Wenn wir wieder nach Sardinien fahren, werden wir sicher wieder über Sardegna GmbH buchen.

fantastischer Urlaub auf Sardinien

06.06.2019 | Ast

Uns wurde durch einen Bekannten aus der Tourismusbranche Sardegna empfohlen, da er selbst Ferienhäuser über sie gebucht hatte. Die Buchung erfolgt über Sardegna individueller als z.B. über bekannte Portale. Zur Betreuung vor Ort stehen neben der einheimischen Vermieterin, mit entsprechenden Tipps, deutschsprachige Ansprechpartner(innen) zur Verfügung (wir hatten technische Probleme im Haus).

Furthermore, from here you have beautiful view of the island of Tavolara that majestically emerges out of the horizon. The lido offers a bar and is well equipped with beach chairs and beach umbrellas.

Hotel Cala di Volpe

A further example of the Costa Smeralda's architectural style is the famous Cala di Volpe 5-star hotel, which was finished in 1963. Here the architect Jacques Couëlle managed to recreate an oasis from "Thousand and One Nights', which is particularly impressive for the design and special layout of the hotel bedrooms - they all have a panoramic view of the sea, yet they are barely visible from outside. The hotel lies on a bay of the same name, Cala di Volpe, at the southern end of the Pevero Golf Club golf course.

Giants Tomb Coddu Vecchiu

The giant tombs are the largest pre-Nuragic cult sites in Sardinia. Like the great rock tombs, they are monuments of the ancient culture of the Nuragic civilization, the Bonnanaro culture. Coddu Vecchiu is one of the most impressive giant tombs from the Nuraghi period (1800-1600 BC). The actual tomb is almost 11 metres long. The central trench plate, which is over 4 metres high, is the largest one found in Sardinia. From Arzachena take the SS 427 towards Sant'Antonio di Gallura-Calangianus. After about 3 km turn right towards Luogosanto, continue for 1.8 km and then turn left towards Capichera.

Capo d’Orso and Roccia dell’Orso

Capo d'Orso offers a fabulous panoramic view of the straits between the coast at Palau and the islands of La Maddalena, Caprera and Santo Stefano. The cape is named after its huge granite rocks shaped like a bear, the Roccia dell' Orso. Every year, thousands of visitors go on a pilgrimage to this rocky monument, formed by the wind and the weather. From Palau, follow the signs to the "Roccia dell’Orso". It is not recommended to climb up to the rock during the midday heat, as the climb is quite tiring. Children should be suitably keen on climbing, and remember to take enough to drink with you.
