Villa Maria

Perfect pool views

Dark and humid room, better quality (or just newer) towels would be nice

Great location with fantastic view of the mountains and vineyard. Luciana is lovely, kind host! Nice and relaxing area with beautiful swimming pool (at night looks gorgeous). Spacious suite with comfortable bed.

Luciana was so welcoming and helpful - provided us with an amazing recommendation for a restaurant and booked it for us. We had such a lovely apartment, with outside seating overlooking the amazing vinyards and mountains. The pool was also fantastic, again with beautiful views! The perfect place to relax and unwind - we will hopefully be back!

Nothing!

beautiful location and view

Everything about the pool area is gorgeous, including the view. Very good breakfast. We booked the 'suite', which is a comfortable large room with a very nice outside area in front of it. We enjoyed the company of the many cats of this place (most of them are shy and/or keep their distance if you don't push for interaction). If you're looking for a restaurant, we found the close-by 'Sant'Elene' very recommendable.

Bathroom was a bit smelly (source unidentified), leaving the window open mitigated the issue. WLAN was just barely available in our room, kept dropping a lot. The area has dogs which are barking through *every* night (we stayed for 5 days). Not too close/loud but only undisturbing if you sleep with shut windows/doors. Important notice (not considered in rating): The 'Via V. Bachelet' route from Dorgali to the Villa Maria is in terrible shape, driving there damaged our car - wished we had known beforehand.

We agree with everybody who applauds the breathtakingly beautiful location, as shown on the pictures. Good WiFi signal near the pool (in our room, it depended on where we were exactly). Good restaurants nearby (< 10 minutes by car, an agriturismo serving good evening food and wine is a 20-30-minute walk). More than the regular Italian breakfast (don't expect a full northern European or English breakfast on the other hand, but we didn't). Check-in as advertised is rather late, but we could make specific appointments, also about staying around after checking out from the room, when one of us had plans, whereas the other could not join. Professional communication. Dog-Friendly (there are two dogs and some curious cats around, however, so keep that in mind).

Bear in mind that payment is in cash, and since accommodation with this location has an upscale price, you may have to go to the bank and/or travel with more cash than one is used to or is comfortable with nowadays.

We had a very nice and restful stay at Villa Maria. Luciana is a great host.

Amazing location with a beautiful pool and comfortable room

Luciana was a fantastic host! She made us feel at home and helped us to everything we needed.
