Ferienhaus / Villa - Trinita' d'agultu e vignola

Our stay at La Merla in the beginning of May 2015:

We can't but confirm the overwhelming number of exclusively positive comments from former renters: this holiday home is really a paradise in the paradise called "Costa Paradiso".

While looking for a house for a further stay in another region of Sardinia, we had to refrain from comparing with Viviana’s holiday house. It's simply unique!!!

The only minor point was that it proved difficult to find the house by night in the labyrinth of this compound.

We are most grateful for Viviana's great hospitality and care - she called us during our arrival trip around midnight to check if we were o.k.! It is only a pity we didn't have the chance to meet her. Our stay in this little paradise remains in our hearts and we hope to get another chance to stay there in the future. In conclusion: we can strongly recommend this holiday house!!!

Non possiamo dire altro che confermare le moltissime reazioni precedenti - questa villetta è veramente il paradiso nel paradiso di "Costa Paradiso". Non c'è migliore lingua del italiano per esprimere tutti I superlativi e punti esclamativi riguardante questa casa e questa regione di Sardegna.

Intanto abbiamo già prenotato un' altra casetta in un altra regione di Sardegna, ma una cosa ci è stata evidente nella ricerca: non comparare alla casa di Viviana! E única!!!

Una sola imperfezione: puo essere difficile da trovare di notte nel labirinto di Costa Paradiso.

Ringraziamo di tutto cuore la nostra gentilissima ospite Viviana - ci dispiace molto non aver potuto incontrarla. Questa casetta ci resta nel cuore e speriamo poter ritornarci nel futuro.

Uno solo consiglio: ándateci e non dimenticarete mai piu le vostre stupende vacanze!

"We really had a good time in this beautiful and comfortable summerhouse. The garden is great, flowers and herbs are smelling well and the beaches are nearby.

We went serveral times to “Li cosi” and also to a few other beaches in the nearbourghoud.

All the recomandations we got from the owners helped us a lot, finding the house and its functionalities, the supermarket, the restaurant, ...

We keep the immages of Sardinia in our minds and in our hearts. This holiday was really special and very romantic.

Many thanks to the owners for their presence, as well via mail as via the phone. If possible, we hope we can meet them one day."

"Great view on the sea. nice cottage. warm welcome, I would definitly recommand this location to other people!

One small remark: Outer season, most of the local shops are closed, so you have to drive to buy things..."

"This was by far the nicest house we had in all our holidays! Clean, beautiful view to the sea, nice walk to the beach and a very tasteful interior in the house."

"Excellent retreat for sun and sea lovers

We spent one week in the beginning of June 2010 in this summer house. First of all, our compliments to the owner, Viviana. Not only does she treat her guests as friends, she goes out of her way to arrange everything to their wishes. For example, bed and bath linens were organised for us although this is not normally a service which is provided. You will also receive full documentation about the house and Costa Paradiso, as well as tourist information about the north of Sardinia well in advance of your stay. The house is a little gem, exactly as shown in the photographs on the website. It is tastefully and lovingly decorated. Further assets: the cleanliness, both inside and outside, a great terrace with a sea view and your own private little patch of sand for sunbathing, reading, etc., a second terrace at the front of the house, which is sheltered and nice and warm when the weather is a bit off, an outside bbq, an outdoor shower, really comfortable beds (orthopaedic mattresses), a beautiful kitchen with plenty of pots and pans and kitchen utensils and herbs and spices, a Northern European style coffee maker, beach chairs and a parasol, wooden shutters all around, plenty of tourist brochures and a bookcase full of books. As to Costa Paradiso, it is a fairly recent development which has been integrated very nicely in the pink granite rocks sloping down to the sea. It has all the amenities you will need: a few restaurants to choose from (we liked the one with the sea view at the Maya village, as do the wild boars who come strolling by from time to time! The village is in a natural area, so if you are lucky you can spot some of the wild life), several rocky and sandy beaches, all perfect for swimming in the shallow aquamarine water Sardinia is famous for, several supermarkets, a butcher’s, a fish shop, etc. We did all of our shopping on site. It is a bit of a drive to the nearest supermarket outside of Costa Paradiso: Sisa in Badesi, on the main road, but you could easily do some shopping there on the way back from an excursion. Speaking of which, we liked Castelsardo a lot. There is a nice place to eat in the centro storico, near the cathedral: bar-ristorante Aragona, which has a panoramic terrace. We also visited Santa Teresa di Gallura, a more touristy seaside resort, and especially enjoyed the drive back through empty, rocky inland Gallura, via Luogosanto and Aglientu. All in all, this is a great holiday house in a unique location: plenty of privacy, peace and quiet, full frontal sea view and your own path down to a small beach!
