We had a lovely time staying at this villa. It was spotlessly clean and the location is excellent, just a five minute drive from Alghero town centre. Although it is only a ten minute drive to the airport we never heard the planes. The owner, Mercedes Maria, quickly and effectively sorted out a problem we had one evening where guests in a nearby villa were playing loud music in the early hours of the morning, even though the villa in question did not belong to her.
The villa is beautifully peaceful and private. The pool spotlessly clean and the grounds are spacious and well kept. The tennis court is a great addition. There is no mains sewerage though, so nothing can be thrown in the toilet, which was not a problem, but is something which no one had mentioned in the reviews I read. Also the rooms with the double beds were all comfortable but the one with twin beds, which would be perfectly suitable for two younger people, was too small for my 19 year old nephew and 21 year old son, both of whom are over 6 feet tall.
The beaches in Alghero are very good, sandy, clean and family friendly. We favoured those closer to Fertilia. The weather was mainly good, around 28-30C, when we went at the end of September with only one overcast day and some light rain one evening.
We ate out every night in the old town. Avoid the restaurants in Piazza Civica. We had excellent meals at Angedras Restaurant (we went there twice), Kings (Mercedes Maria's recommendation) and La Botteghina. The people in Alghero were all very friendly and helpful and will definitely go back.
