Where you are relative to the sea

Where the sun sets

Located 100m from the sea, back from the cliff edge with access to rocky beach via steep steps and minutes away from several glorious sandy beaches. Santa Maria is a tranquil area 10 minutes driving time from the Medieval town of Bosa and less than 5 minutes from Porto Alabe. When you arrive in Alghero airport it is an hours drive south along a breathtaking coastal view road that reminds us of Route 1 California. During your stay you can watch the sun set directly ahead of you over the sea from the patio. There are garden areas and you feel you have plenty of room to move around and lots of shade should you need it, both to the front and rear of the house. In season, restaurants and bars are numerous and within walking distance or a few minutes drive away. For golfing enthusiasts the Arena golf and country club is 45 minutes away in Oristano and built by the renowned architect Von Hagge. The area is a dream for cyclists and ramblers to discover.

Guest comments
A great holiday base. Steve and Lisa Sheffield.
Date Submitted: July 16, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008.
Was the villa 'as described'? Well, it seemed better than that, really! The Holiday Rentals site on its own doesn’t quite do this villa justice, somehow. The property owners’ site is much more comprehensive (and has more pictures), so do take the time out to have a look.
It was perfectly clean and well-maintained, and had those little touches (DVD’s, books, games, etc.) that made it feel like someone’s home rather than just a faceless holiday let.
The directions were extensive and accurate (especially useful were the pictures of each stage), and the information and tips in our holiday pack were invaluable. The views from the patio really can’t be described adequately here.
