The Perfect Sardinia Holiday Villa

The island of Sardinia will most certainly surpass your wildest dreams with colourful food markets, mile upon mile of perfect white sandy beaches and charming locals.

You may find nasty surprises such as “guarantees” that if your villa is completely without water or electricity the company will try and get the problem fixed within two working days! This means that if you check into a villa on Saturday and find yourselves without even the most basic utilities, the company accepts no liability whatsoever as long as they ensure electricity and water are available by
