This family-run business is at the ground floor of a recently renovated early 20th century villa. Guests are plunged in history in the large sitting room, surrounded by pristine antiques, prints and art nouveau floor tiles. The bedrooms are the perfect balance of modernity and elegant past. All en-suite bathrooms are new and immaculate. In the warmer months, guests can make the most of a large garden, with deckchairs and sun umbrellas. The charming and well-travelled owner, who speaks fluent English and French, can arrange a pick-up service at the airport and a complimentary one-hour-long tour of the city. He will also provide stacks of information for your day trips in and around Cagliari. Take the bus M to get to the city centre.
