Guest Reviews
- bin (9/5): - Posto isolato ma incantevole, personale disponibilissimo atmosfera familiare la cuoca eccezionale consigliato
- Simone (7/5): Stupendo il posto, peccato la strada per raggiungerlo. - La struttura è un agriturismo che ha in sé molto fascino, rimane una struttura molto semplice ma si ha modo di fare conoscenza con altri ospiti perché i proprietari in genere fanno sedere tutti gli ospiti alla stessa tavola.
Si trova in un contesto da sogno, su un monte, lontano da tutto e da tutti. Si trova su un monte e per essere raggiunto bisogna percorrere un pezzo di strada sterrata di circa 1,5 km. La strada non risulta ben messa ed ha anche una discreta pendenza. Sconsigliato a motociclisti poco esperti e con moto non proprio adeguate.
- VERGNION F (9/5): - La tranquillité et l'accueil ainsi que les repas typiques. Les mauvais chemins.
- Katja (10/5): Unglaublich leckeres Essen und sehr freundliche Gastgeber - Wir hatten keine Agriturismo-Erfahrung und sind etwas unvorbereitet in dieses besondere Erlebnis geraten. Es gab ein fürstliches selbst zubereitetes üppiges Abendessen und auch Frühstück. Wir empfehlen vorher mal lieber ne Mahlzeit wegzulassen, damit ihr es auch richtig genießen könnt.
- Ivana Vrdoljak (10/5): -
- Dirk (10/5): Schön einfach und einfach schön... - Das Haus steht in traumhafter Lage und völliger Ruhe, hoch in den Bergen mit Rundumblick bis zum Meer. Zufahrt über 1,5 km Schotter-Sand-Piste. Saubere Zimmer mit eigenem WC. Marita und ihr Mann sind sehr hilfsbereit und führen das Haus mit viel Liebe und einem tollen sardischen Essensangebot, überwiegend aus eigener Produktion – ein absolut besonderer Aufenthalt! Anfahrt zum Badeort mit schönem Strand wenige Kilometer, allerdings über eine sehr schlechte Straße.
- Lorena (9/5): Cervi e natura - Disponibilità dei gestori e posizione
- Annelien (9/5): Prachtige agriturismo midden in de natuur! Aanrader! - Prachtige omgeving, afgelegen locatie in de natuur. Vanuit de agriturismo kan je wandelen naar de zee (5-6km enkel) en naar Monte Arcuento (6km enkel), beide zijn goed te doen, je hebt wel een wandel gps app of een kaart nodig best. Zelfs Dune di piscinas is een optie om te wandelen (10km enkel), maar dit laatste hebben wij niet zelf uitgetest. In de avond hoor en zie je herten, everzwijnen,.. Als je kan, vraag bij reservatie een kamer aan de voorkant van het gebouw met zicht op de bergen.
In de avond kan je de zonsondergang zien in de zee, prachtig!
Eet zeker mee met het avondeten, viergangenmenu voor een goeie prijs met typische sardijnse gerechten. Voor wandelaars of low budget reizigers, vergeet niet inkopen te doen in bv guspini voor je aankomt, want boodschappen kan je niet zomaar even gaan doen.
Vriendelijke ontvangst in het gezin, ze wonen in hetzelfde huis. Zoals je in de reviews kan lezen is de baan naar de agriturismo een uitdaging. Wij deden het met een huurauto (lancia, kleinste model). Het is gelukt maar het was altijd spannend. Laat je hier niet door afschrikken, maar zorg ervoor dat je ruim voor zonsondergang aankomt zodat je de weg goed kan zien.
We bleven vier nachten en hadden jammer geneg een kamer aan de achterkant van het gebouw met minder uitzicht. Het was geen groot probleem maar het uitzicht aan de voorkant is gewoon 100x beter.
- Coline (9/5): Immersion totale - C'est un lieux très charmant, entouré de nature.
Les hôtes sont adorables. On y mange vraiment très bien, les quantités sont généreuses pour un repas comptez 35€ par personne.
La literie sent bon, c'est propre, chaleureux et confortable.
Vous avez de la place pour vous garer à proximité de votre logement.
Une grande route vous y mène bien qu'elle ne soit pas goudronné cela se fait en roulant doucement.
- Andrea (8/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Esperienza indimenticabile - Staff gentilissimo, ottimo cibo e posizione spettacolare.
- Silvija (10/5): Sehr bemühte und freundliche Gastgeber in einer wunderschönen Unterkunft in einer wunderschönen Umgebung! Wir bedanken u - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist ein Traum! Wunderschöner Ausblick auf die Berge und man sieht auch das Meer. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und das Bett ist sehr bequem! Das Badezimmer ist groß und sauber.
Wir haben eine Nachricht von der Gastgeberin erhalten, ob wir Abendessen wollen in der Unterkunft. Obwohl wir sehr spät geantwortet haben, war es kein Problem! Es wurde sogar Rücksicht darauf genommen, dass eine von uns Vegetarierin ist!!! Das war total süß und das Essen war fantastisch! Die Frau kann unglaublich gut kochen. Es ist ein Muss in der Unterkunft zu Abend zu essen! Man würde echt was fantastisches verpassen! Wir kommen sicher wieder!
- Jakub (10/5): Prawdziwa agroturystyka - Położenie z dala od wszystkiego ! 2 kilometry szutrowa droga i znajdziesz sie z prawdziwej agroturystyce z świniami i kozami. Kolacja 35euro za osobe to 3 daniowa uczta z lokalnych produktów Bądź przygotowany na trudny dojazd. Najlepiej Jeep lub SUV. Dogadasz się tylko po włosku (po angielsku, niemiecku nie ma szans) - przygotuj google translator.
- Michele (8/5): - La comida, la cercanía a la naturaleza (se ven ciervos, cabras, ovejas, cerdos, zorros) Los últimos 5 minutos de la vía està muy desterrada (se puede hacer - nosotros con uno skoda fabia)
- Alice (10/5): - La struttura è posizionata in una location davvero unica, se cercate pace e tranquilla, circondata da cervi, questo posto è l’ideale. È stata la nostra prima tappa della vacanza, ci abbiamo trascorso tre notti, dista circa 30/40 minuti dalle spiagge per cui se alloggiate qui per fare solo mare non è l’ideale.
Per raggiungere la struttura ci sono 5 minuti di strada sterrata, circa 2km, noi l’abbiamo fatta tranquillamente con una berlina di proprietà, con i giusti accorgimenti naturalmente.
Colazione a buffet con torta, yoghurt, uovo e affettati di loro produzione, genuina e buona.
La struttura dà anche la possibilità di cenare, abbiamo provato la prima sera, davvero ottimi piatti. La cosa bella è che si fa una tavolata tutti assieme per cui si parla con i vari ospiti e si crea un bellissimo clima.
- Simone Gambella (9/5): - Convivialità e ospitalità con un bel clima familiare, la cena è stata squisita, con prodotti locali e autoprodotti che esaltano il termine agriturismo. Un plus è stato poter ammirare, con una pila, dopo cena, i cervi che stazionavano sulle montagne circostanti. La colazione è stata anch'essa di ottima qualità. Esperienza da rifare anche in altre stagioni.
- Billoi (7/5): - Panorama e ambiente familiare
- Jürgen (10/5): War den Aufenthalt wert - Außergewöhnliche Lage mit schönen Weitblick. Die Familie ist unglaublich nett. Zimmer sauber und komfortabel. Frühstück ausreichend und gut! Abendessen für alle die Sadische Hausmannskost lieben nur zum empfehlen! Hat alles gepasst
- Andrea (9/5): Posto incantevole nella natura della Costa Verde, ospitalità genuina e cucina sarda fatta con amore: un’esperienza auten - Appartamento immerso nella natura incontaminata della Costa Verde, un luogo che va vissuto con calma, seguendo la filosofia autentica di questa terra.
I proprietari, Marita e William, sono persone gentilissime e sempre disponibili: ci hanno fatto sentire davvero come a casa. Ogni mattina ci hanno deliziato con colazioni e piatti preparati con amore e pazienza, utilizzando ingredienti genuini e ricette della tradizione.
Abbiamo trascorso del tempo a fare due chiacchiere con loro e con Matteo che ci ha mostrato durante la notte alcuni animali della fauna locale, i cerbiatti sulle colline, i cinghiali selvatici, tutto ha amplificato l’esperienza già super positiva!
Abbiamo avuto il piacere di gustare per cena il maialetto, cotto a regola d’arte, e i malloreddus con un sugo degno delle migliori mamme e nonne sarde, antipasti di verdure, frittate, peperoni, zucchine salumi e formaggi saporitissimi.
La cucina è davvero il cuore di questo posto, gestita con passione da una vera mamma e un vero babbo.
La notte, il silenzio assoluto regala una pace rara: un’esperienza che rigenera corpo e mente.
È la recensione più lunga che abbia mai lasciato su Booking, ma la meritano tutta.
Brave persone, posto magnifico ed esperienza autentica.
Grazie di cuore, e… alla prossima!
- Dall'Olmo (7/5): -
- Marta (10/5): Torneremo senz’altro all’agriturismo L’Aquila: il posto è immerso nella natura lussureggiante e intatta dei monti della -
- Eteri (10/5): Exceptional - L’Aquila is a charming place with delicious( and very generously big portions of) dishes.
The location is breathtaking! Be prepared for the not paved 1 km road
- Juan (10/5): Genuine Food and Breathtaking Views - The accommodation is in a wonderful location, secluded from reality with breathtaking views. The food is very abundant and it was delicious for both dinner and breakfast with a very genuine taste. Their homemade yoghurt was my favourite which I topped with a swirl of honey, and it had the best consistency I've ever tasted. I recommend walking around the area to feel the peace there, you can also find goats walking around. Before going there, I saw a lot of comments regarding the road but I can say that it was totally fine with a Fiat 500 which has some clearance.
- David (10/5): Gorgeous & peaceful location, delicious & authentic food - Gorgeous location, delicious and authentic food, quiet, relaxing
- Kvetoslava (10/5): Nice hosts, great home made food, beautiful nature around, tranquility. - In the middle of nowhere with beautiful views. Lots of hiking paths around. If you seek tranquility this is just perfect.
- Harriet (9/5): Beautiful sunsets in remote nature filled location - Lovely remote location for a relaxing night in nature. Loved the dinner and met some lovely people. Not a negative but this property is on a dirt road. (A lot or the roads in this area are 4x4 friendly) We didn’t mind this as it was a beautiful location but our small hire car struggled a bit.
- David (9/5): Superb - I knew the dinner would be good, but still surprised how outstandingly tasty it was! Very distant in beautiful hills with kind owners. The room is simple and not soundproof, but this is just small thing compared to the overall quality!
- Katharine (8/5): Wonderful experience - Wonderful location, very remote and beautiful.
Great experience and delicious dinner.
All the negative reviews about the road and access to the property are wildly exaggerated. The road is fine if one goes slowly and carefully. We were in a little car and it wasn’t a problem at all.
- Darren (10/5): Authentic homestay, great dinner with so much food and wine - Family run farm stay comfortable room The road needs more navigation
- Giada (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hannes (9/5): Superb - Great local food! The road to the B&B is very steep and only gravel
- Gianluca (9/5): Superb -
- Matthias (10/5): Best experiences and food in Sardinia! - We were overwhelmed by the kindness of the hosts William and Marita. The second plus is the great food in quality and quantity! 100% recommended!!! Come with an empty stomach for dinner. We had great fun milking the goats and would definitely return for another stay here in Sardinia. We also enjoyed the landscape, the remoteness and the short ride to a beautiful beach. We were happy to extend for another night. Greetings from Austria!
- Jon (7/5): Nice, rural stay with Sardinian family and chance to eat local cuisine. - Rural location with views over the mountains and peaceful and quiet at night. Road to get to the property could have been better signed. Dinner was nice but too expensive for what was served.
- Brian (9/5): Brilliant. Go there and enjoy it all. - The Hotel was very remote and peaceful. The drive up was a little challenging but worth it. The dinners grown, prepared, cooked and served by the owners (their son and the rest of the family!) was probably as close as you get to proper Sardinian food... delicious. The barbecued ( large wood fired BBQ in the kitchen) goat chops and goat stew was definitely first class. I think 5 courses (?) all very good. The pasta dishes were also very good.
One night 12 in the restaurant the next just the two of us ... no problem.
Bed was comfortable. Slept with the window open so kept cool.
It is what it is. A rural, nearly at the top of the road/mountain rustic, Sardinian family farmhouse. Don't miss the experience. Brilliant. Thank you.
- Mark (8/5): Very good - Views are fantastic. William and Marietta were great hosts and the evening meal provided a taste of typical Sardinian food. Room was compact and WiFi sketchy with room
- Bao-yi (8/5): L'Aquila farm is simple, quiet and lovely. Dinner tasted good and abundant. - It was our desire to try out the farm stay in Sardinia, since we have stayed in all sorts of accommodations along the coast towns in Sardinia in the past 2 weeks.
So L'Aquila farm is exactly what we expected - simple, quiet and lovely. William and his family were good host.
Farm dinner tasted good and abundant. By the way, one has to inform William in advance that they are dining at their place for them to prepare food. (But it seems a general practice in farm stays in Sardinia.) Nothing!
- Francis (9/5): Superb - Beautiful location, great dinner, friendly family
