Pool has been shut since September after a tragic accident - a child passed away in the pool due to a missing filter cover. This is still under investigation according to local news, hence pool is closed. The owner waits until a 2 or 3 days before you are due to arrive and phones to say the pool is broken, offering a 10% discount. This is dishonest as he knows by this point alternative accommodation is hard to find. If I had known soon after booking that it was closed, I would have cancelled. The owner knows this is likely  which must be why he is doing this. Even with 10% discount, the price with no pool isn't competitive and there are much nicer apartments without a pool available. We moved to alternative accommodation after 4 nights. There just wasn't a nice feel to the place. I guess the staff are still traumatised/affected by the accident which is understandable. Further to the somewhat dishonest conduct of the owner, other issues were that it is on a much busier road than I realised, main road to beach so people driving at speed until late at night. Probably ok at the back of the building but we were at the front and it was noisy. It's also opposite an ugly hardware shop so not a particularly nice view. The balcony design is such that kids can climb the railing. Pros Apartment was clean, lots of towels which was nice. Looks like the but close up not well finished. Check in was easy and a nice gift of cake and wine. We were at the via del mare location.

Nice apartment on the road side noisy but interesting. No cleaner for a week did not realise not a serviced apartment. Made sure we b ooked apartment with pool. This was empty and surrounded by a wooden fence should have been available from May.

we were allocated Residence Loc. Piricone which had a private garden and was set away from Orosei in a very quite area which was great as we had young children. the hotel were responsive to any questions and problems that we had. however it is worth checking which of the three locations you will be allocated as if we hadn't hired a car we would have found it very difficult to travel around the island because of the location of Residence Loc. Piricone

We stayed in a private apartment away from the main hotel so it did not have a pool but the hotel dropped us off two bicycles so we cycled to the hotel through the lovely town and then we cycled from the hotel to the beach. It was very nice as we were away from other tourists and children and the area was very quiet. We also had more around us as the town was 10 minutes away. Lovely beach and boat trip to the most beautiful beaches and caves. People are very friendly although English is not widely spoken so you may need to try to learn the basics. I managed as I speak a little Spanish. No menus in English. So if this bothers you I would not go to Sardinia! I will be going back as it is a little paradise !

Communication with Case Vacanza Gli Ulivi was prompt and straightforward when we booked but it was almost four weeks later that we received an email informing us that the property we had booked did not sleep six and had only two bedrooms and could sleep only four. We were offered an alternative of three double rooms in a different location in Orosei. We had particularly wanted a pool and a kitchen during our stay so we opted to stay in the original location and make use of the sofa, as suggested by the manager. The photo on our booking form of what we thought was the apartment looked very pleasant and we all felt that the sofa bed option would be okay. However when we arrived at Case Vacanza Gli Ulivi we discovered that we were not in fact renting the apartment in the photo on the booking form but a much smaller apartment. To add insult to injury there were no pillows for the sofa bed and could not get hold of anyone to supply us with pillows until the following day. The air conditioning did not work very well even after maintenance staff checked it out. Although the apartment was very cramped for six adults staff were very helpful during our stay. The location was ideal, easy walking to the magnificent beaches and to the lovely little town of Orosei.

very nice appartment in a walking distance to the center. especially the terrace was nice and the roof prohibitet too much heat. Also good working air condition. I would definitley recomend!!

Appartment situated in a quiet place, not close to the center nor amenities nor supermarket. Clean bathroom and kitchen, we missed microwave oven and dishwasher.

We are certainly going to reccomend this place to our friend and family. It's really a great place to stay with your family. Recycling, well done! My kids were so aware about this! they do this now at home. However, it didn't make sense that I have to buy the essential food: Sugar, coffie / tea, salt, pepper, oil, oregano. At my departure, I have to throw away all this! it's such a waste! Perhaps the hotel could charge extra voor this Essentials? I would not mind. You see a bag of Sugar could be used for two-three rooms for almost 8 days.
