Our family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home in Costa Paradiso. We traveled with two families—adults with sons in their 20s, along with our younger boys (ages 7 and 11)—and the house provided a great space for everyone to relax and enjoy time together.
Costa Paradiso is absolutely stunning, but it is definitely a destination where you’ll want to rent a car. The roads are mountainous and rural, and getting there takes a bit of effort, but the scenery and peaceful setting make every minute of the drive worthwhile.
Rina was an exceptional host. She was incredibly welcoming, responded quickly to every question, and was always happy to help with anything we needed throughout our stay.
The home itself was very inviting. We especially loved the outdoor dining table, where we enjoyed our morning coffee while taking in the beautiful views. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it was convenient. We cooked several meals during our six-day stay without any issues.
There were a couple of minor drawbacks. The air conditioning in the common area wasn’t working during our visit, but Rina quickly provided several fans, which made the home much more comfortable. We also noticed some ants in the bedrooms, but after using insect spray, the problem improved. The bedrooms had air conditioning and bathrooms were great. The outdoor pool area was so good. We BBQ’ed and enjoyed our swims!
The location is fantastic. Restaurants, bars, and a small market are about a five-minute walk away, while a larger grocery store and pharmacy are just a five-minute drive. Beautiful rocky beaches and natural tide pools are within a 10–15 minute walk, making it easy to spend the day by the sea.
Our favorite spot was Li Cossi Beach. It takes about a 15-minute walk along a scenic cliffside path, so be prepared to carry your beach gear, but the reward is incredible. The beach is a gorgeous cove with crystal-clear water that was perfect for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and swimming. We also loved the beach bar, which served delicious sandwiches, snacks, and cold beer—the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of Costa Paradiso in Sardinia.
