"We are the family of six: the parents, the three daughters (11, 9 and 4 at the time of the journey) and the only son who turned 7 at Paolo’s house. We are of Polish origin and live in Germany, near Cologne, permanently. We spent two weeks (21st Oct. – 3rd Nov. 2013) at Paolo Murgia’s house and we just fell in love with… the house, I mean… !  I would like one of my daughters to fall in love with Paolo himself, but his fiancée Roberta is sooo smart and sooo beautiful, that I have to give up that dream!! We just felt so much at home at his house, we would just like to recommend it to everyone in the whole wide world, that this is the real house where you will feel AT HOME. It IS NOT a typical rental house with cheap furniture and nothing in the kitchen. It is the real HOME where someone had lived in for a long time. The house has its unique character, its personality: there are paintings and drawings on the walls that tell you something about the owner, there are the glass doors that had been hand painted, the very special hand-made lamps in the living-room, the glass cupboard in the wall where one can expose his or her collections of anything… And talking about everyday (rented) life – we enjoyed a brand new kitchen stove and oven, and a brand new washing machine as well. They all work perfectly well. There is everything in the kitchen you might possibly need: all pots and pans and bowls, very decent cutlery, plates in a good shape, plastic cups for kids we used every day, let alone the kitchen towels and a bottle opener (very important!).I have to stress the fact, that I was told by Paolo from the very beginning, that the bed linen and towels are all included in the price. Those who travel with kids will know what a great offer this one is! We arrived to be welcomed with a tray of Sardinian mixture of sweets from a very nice local (Tortoli “Dolce e Pane”) bakery, to be presented with a complimentary Internet stick access (we had never ever discussed before), and altogether – with a very friendly attitude from our young host. Whenever I needed something, although I tried not to be too demanding, he was there on-call per SMS. Always. He sorted out our Internet access problems immediately, the same evening. When we were left with one gas bottle he assured us that we did not have to worry because they would replace it Saturday and Sunday, should it go empty. Fortunately, it did not. I don’t know what else we could wish for… We had a 200m² villa at our disposal, everything just like we had seen on the pictures before. You can cook what you want, and even bake. Our son had turned 7, as mentioned, and he was over the moon that I could bake him his beloved muffins! You can laundry your clothes every day. As I have mentioned already, the washing machine is brand new and working perfectly. There is a dishwasher so a family of six can manage to get through the day (even if we went to a restaurant, there were piles of plates so we did use it every day and it worked). Talking about the shower, this was the first time in Sardinia (our sixth time on the island) that we had a proper water pressure and warmth in the shower!The rubbish disposal was also very smooth.In the end of our stay we were just ready to buy the house... Dear Paolo, dear (Paolo’s) cousin Virginia, we would like to thank you so much for welcoming us, and Paolo and Roberta – for seeing us off. We will be very happy to see all the three of you in 2014, certo!

Best greetings,

Marta, Marek Senior, Marianna, Susanna, Marek Junior and Matilda.
