Jun 2, 2015 #### Wonderful holiday We had a wonderful stay at the villa, thank you. The views are stunning and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. All the facilities were excellent - we made good use of the pool, the ping pong and the fantastic barbecue and it was very nice to receive a warm welcome from Pietro on arrival. Overall the service was very friendly and responsive. If I was to recommend one thing it would be to show guests that the two switches behind the microwave control the fridge and dishwasher as it is quite easy to accidentally switch them off when using the microwave! ##### Lucinda N. ### 8/10 Good #### Franck P. Aug 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Belle villa avec vue sur les îles La villa est intégrer dans un petit lotissement clôturé sur les collines de Palau avec vue une magnifique sur l'archipel de la Maddalena. A savoir que l'automobile est indispensable pour pouvoir ce déplacer sur la ville la plus proche Palau. Nous avons apprécié la très grande piscine et son jardin idéal avec les enfants. le personnel sur place très agréable et disponible. Intérieur bien agencé , commodité cuisine, lave linge, TV Sat, connexion internet, barbecue très pratique mais devrai être remplacé ainsi que la table extérieur. Belle villa pour passer de très belle vacances en famille nous la conseillons vivement. ##### Franck P. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah L. Jul 17, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing family holiday destination and FAB house! Even though the photos of the house and its garden and pool are lovely - the IRL experience exceeded it by far. The location of the house is perfect - very close to a breathtaking lookout point of the whole village and port of Palau. Very short distance to supermarket, restaurants and tennis courts. The house was amazing. Perfect in all aspects for a great family vacation. We were two families with two adults and two children in each - still the house was VERY spacious and plenty of room for everyone getting some space, but also great for socializing. Very well equipped kitchen, nice linens and sheets and generous amounts of towels. ALOT of effort and love are put into details to delight guests - such as shading curtains around the outdoor dinner table for instance. The communication with property owner as well as hosts was very smooth and proactive. We have rented houses several times before and always encountered small issues - be it electricity, air con or other matters, but this time there were NO issues at all. And whenever we had inquiries, the response was within minutes. Would absolutely recommend this house to families with kids who are looking for a chilled, relaxed vacation. Beautiful beaches are not far away, there are many great options for eating out within short distance - and many great places to explore nearby. The whole of Maddelena archipelago just outside the coast for instance. A true 10 out of 10 for this house - even a great delight for the kids to find turtles out in the nature and in the beautiful garden. Thank you for a great holiday experience! ##### Sarah L.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benedetta F. Aug 13, 2018 #### Bellissima villa con tutti i confort La villa fa parte di un complesso residenziale molto ben curato sulla collina di Palau, a 5 min d'auto dal centro. Se l'auto è indispensabile per muoversi, in compenso il panorama che si gode è bellissimo, il silenzio e la pace assicurati (anche se le ville confinanti sono vicine ma non si disturbano a vicenda) e il clima è sempre ventilato e fresco. Abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la cura dell'insieme, dal giardino con il prato erboso perfetto, le aiuole di fiori e i bellissimi ulivi, la piscina molto grande e le verande, una arredata con poltrone molto comode, l'altra con il grande tavolo da pranzo, per cui abbiamo sempre mangiato fuori, utilizzando anche il pratico barbecue. Tv con Sky in tutte le camere, aria condizionata per non farsi mancare nulla (personalmente abbiamo optato per i cieli stellati meravigliosi e il frinire delle cicale, annaffiati da un buon vino locale da una delle verande... :)) Consiglio questo posto per gli amanti delle comodità e di una vacanza all'insegna del relax e del lusso.

Jul 21, 2017 #### Skønt hus i fantastiske omgivelser. Huset er beliggende på en bjergskråning sammen med et par andre huse. Der er roligt og udsigten er helt fantastisk over havet og et uberørt område. Huset var rent og pænt og med masser af plads til de 12 personer vi var i huset. Der var god service fra personalet. Huset ligger 1,2 km fra en god badestrand og 900 meter fra et fantastisk udsigtspunkt over Maddalena-bugten og helt til Corsika. Der er altid lidt vind ved huset grundet dens beliggenhed højt på en skråning, hvilket gjorde det behageligt på de varme sommerdage. Vi takker for et rigtig skønt ophold! ##### Lone D.

Jun 4, 2015 #### A fantastic house for a big family We had a fantastic stay in Villa Smeralda during a week in March 2015. We were eleven persons - seven adults and four kids. The house is located in a peaceful area with a very nice view, less than three kilometers from Palau, where you can do all your shopping and go to restaurants. The house is modern, spacy and very nice. Every room has a separate bathroom and toilet. The beds are in perfect condition, as everything else. The big pool is very nice, especially loved by the kids :-). The area around with a lot of beaches and fantastic water are perfect for small excursions. ##### Ulf K.
