Great location!

Amazing holidays! When we arrived I couldn't believe, the house is literally on the beach! So, there are no words to describe the greatness of the location. With a very nice garden that serves as refreshing spot to take a break from the sun, the house is really confortable and nothing is missing. The owners were really nice people and helped us with suggestions and information to travel along the cost.

Sardinia

This place is beautiful. The location was great. Close to the airport and close to other surrounding areas. Having the walk out to the beach was amazing because we had the ocean at your doorstep. This was definitely a nice place to stay, we wish we stayed longer : ) the area was very safe and there was a mix of people, families with kids, honeymooners and older people etc.. Everybody was friendly. We enjoyed this stay 100% Sardinia we will see you soon xoxo

It was the perfect location for a relaxing stay. I did not want for anything, the home was well stocked and magnificently decorated. All around it was perfect. Our contact Kikka was better than expected and was over immediately if I needed her. Not one complaint, I’d highly recommend!

Quiet coastal getaway

The condo was clean and well equipped. It was small, but comfortably adequate for 4 adults. Off-season visit was peaceful and relaxing. The sandy beach, although public, almost seemed private! It was a quick walk to town and to the dock. Both the caretakers and the owner were easy to reach and responsive to our questions. Groceries, pharmacy, bakeries, and restaurants were all easily accessible.

We stayed here for 10 days as a group of four adults and two children, and honestly, we have never had such a wonderful vacation with our kids!Here is why this place is an absolute gem, especially for families:1. Outstanding Hospitality: The check-in and check-out process with Kikka and Hania was smooth and super friendly. Kikka even arranged a seamless transfer to bring us to her other property, which was such a thoughtful and helpful touch!2. Direct Beach Access: Having the beach right at the edge of the garden was an absolute game-changer. We could literally step into the sea spontaneously without the hassle of packing a beach bag every single time.3. Fantastic Garden: The kids absolutely loved playing in the garden—it gave them so much freedom and kept them entertained all day.4. Perfect Covered Terrace: From around 9 AM, the terrace is completely shaded. It made sitting outside for breakfast, lunch, and long evenings incredibly comfortable and relaxing.5. Refreshing Sea Breeze: Thanks to the prime location right on the seafront, there was always a light breeze. Even on warm days, it never felt uncomfortably hot.6. Unbeatable Location: Everything you need is within walking distance! There is a top-quality ice cream parlor and a super delicious pizzeria right around the corner, and a larger supermarket is just a 10-minute walk away.Those 10 days simply flew by! We cannot recommend this place highly enough—especially if you are traveling with children.

Incredible!! We absolutely loved our stay at the Little Gate. Firstly, the view is breathtaking - just astounding. The grounds are beautiful and lush. The apartment was very well furnished and had everything and more in the kitchen. The location was perfect and walkable to the town. The parking was so easy and convenient. We loved the sweet cats that came around, sadly for me, they never let me pet them. Chicca, our property manager is an absolute star! She was so friendly and helpful to all of our needs and questions. She was also so responsive and we really felt taken care of. Book the Little Gate and you will be so happy you did!
Beautiful garden that looks out at the sea.

Das Highlight ist die Lage direkt am Strand! 10 Schritte und Du bist im Wasser. Reservierter Parkplatz direkt am Haus. Wir waren in der Vorsaison dort, sodass im Obergeschoss sowie im Nachbarhaus keine Gäste waren. Somit hatten wir unsere Ruhe und konnten uns auf der Terrasse mit dem großen Tisch unbeschwert aufhalten.Unser Rückflug war erst am späten Abend, sodass wir um einen längeren Aufenthalt bis in den späten Nachmittag gebeten hatten, welchem Mateo nachkam - kostenfrei - sehr nett!Die Ausstattung der Küche war komplett, es fehlte nichts um anständig zu kochen.Es gibt 3 Schlafzimmer mit einem Ehebett (gut), zwei Einzelbetten und einem Bett mit ausziehbarem Zweitbett (letztere sehr einfach).Zwei Badezimmer mit Dusche, die aber nicht viel Wasserdruck haben.Fazit: Eine gute Unterkunft mit 1a Lage, wo wir uns für gut eine Woche mit 5 Erwachsenen sehr wohl gefühlt haben.

Dear Klaus, Thank you very much for your kind and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you and Ulrike enjoyed your stay and appreciated the unique beachfront location, the terrace, and the peaceful atmosphere. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we were happy to accommodate the late check-out so that you could make the most of your last day in Sardinia. Thank you also for your constructive comments regarding the beds and the water pressure in the showers. We truly appreciate the feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue improving the guest experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Maison Il Cancelletto in the future! Warm regards, Matteo & Naima

Wunderschönes Ambiente: Meer vor der Türe, kleiner Garten, Restaurants, Hafen direkt in der Nähe. Gastgeber superfreundlich, Wohnung hat alles was man braucht.Allerdings: man wird jeden Morgen zwischen 6-6.30 Uhr von den vier nervösen Hunden in der Nachbarwohnung geweckt durch ihr lautes Bellen. Und man muss darauf gefasst sein, dass morgens um 8 Uhr unerwartet der Gärtner im Garten steht und einen Höllenlärm macht. Das ist leider für uns eine ziemliche Einschränkung gewesen, trotz aller sonstigen Schönheit! Leider.

Empfehlenswert mit kleinen Mängeln in der Wohnung

Schön war besonders die Lange. In der Wohnung hätten wir uns bequemere Betten( besonders in dem Jugendzimmer) eine strukturiertere Küchenausstattung und ein einfacheres Schließsystem (zu viele Schlüssel) gewünscht,

Sehr geehrte Eva, vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Es tut uns leid, dass die Betten nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen haben. Was genau war nicht in Ordnung? Die Größe, die Anordnung oder die Matratzen? In Bezug auf die Küche erhalten wir normalerweise positives Feedback über die Ausstattung. Was genau hat Ihnen gefehlt? Bezüglich der Schlüssel: Da es zwei Türen nach draußen gibt, haben wir leider keine Möglichkeit, daran etwas zu ändern. Mehrere Türen bieten jedoch zusätzliche Sicherheit, was unsere Gäste normalerweise schätzen. Wir hoffen auf Ihre Rückmeldung, um unser Haus weiter zu verbessern. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Direkter am Wasser geht nicht!

Wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt in dieser komplett eingerichteten Wohnung. Über den kleinen Vorgarten besteht direkt Zugang zum Strand und so kann man jeden Morgen als erstes erfrischende Schwimmübungen absolvieren. Direkt neben dem Strandv befindet sich die kleine Piazza von Porto San Paolo, wo es ein sehr nettes Café („Aqua“) gibt, außerdem immer wieder kulturelle Veranstaltungen. Es ist immer etwas los. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Quartier!
