Please feel secure in the knowledge that we are not an agency, and that we own this property. Also the write up and photos you see are taken by us and written by us about the property that you would be renting.

I have been listed on Owners Direct since April 2006, so shows that I have a proven track record of renting this property. With my long standing experience all my guests receive comprehensive paperwork throughout the booking process.

Situated on the ground floor, with nothing above or below, and built in traditional Sardinian style, the apartment is set in quiet gated community set within pretty gardens.

Casa di Volpe has two double bedrooms, the master has a double bed, and the second bedroom has twin beds. There are two shower rooms, one has a washing machine in it.

We can also provide a cot and high chair at no extra cost, but this must be confirmed at time of booking.

The living area is open plan, the kitchen is well stocked, and benefits from a fridge/freezer and dish washer. The lounge area has a large L shaped sofa and a coffee table.

The highlight of the property is the attractive private large covered fully furnished terrace, perfect for dinning and relaxing. The dinning area has a round table and four chairs, and the lounge area has a sofa, 2 chairs and a coffee table. Off this is a small private walled garden, and a spiral staircase which leads you up to an upper solarium terrace. This is a perfect place for 'chilling out' with a cool aperitif and enjoying amazing uninterrupted views over the Golfo di Olbia towards Isola Tavolara. This terrace also has a sofa, 2 chairs and a coffee table.

The apartment is tastefully furnished to a high standard, and is professionally maintained by a local English spoken lady. We go out to Sardinia on a regular basis so keep the standards up.

There are no owners possessions cluttering up the apartment as we lock them away in the third bedroom.

There is optional air conditioning/heating available on request, this is available in both the bedrooms, the main living area and kitchen. This is available on arrival or during your stay, at a cost of £70 per week. If you require use of this you will need to request it from my housekeeper, and pay £70 in cash before activation. We are having to charge this due to the very high cost of electricity.

Unlimited free Wifi.

Private allocated covered parking space.

Use of communal pool and sun bathing terrace with life guard (early June - early September).

On arrival at my property you will find a key safe with the key in, so you can let yourself in and not have to worry about meeting anyone. My housekeeper will contact you via phone to check you are OK. When inside you will find a comprehensive information folder with all the information you require for your holiday. There will also be a welcome pack of wine, water, milk, tea, coffee and sugar.

When our children were young we had villa holidays, so we have tried to think about what our guests require in a holiday home. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, we provide a freezer bag and blocks, a beach umbrella, buckets and spades, games and books. There is also a lock box for the keys, which allows you instant access whatever time you arrive.

The apartment is ideal for a family holiday or for a couple wanting a quiet romantic break.
