That's right, Villa Giacu is the only villa with its own pool and a lovely swimming pool it is too: kidney-shaped, furnished and measuring a good sized 10m x 5.7 m (depth 1-2m). All in a totally enclosed lawned garden of palms, shrubs and cactuses, with the added benefits of a barbecue area and outside shower. There is private parking behind the gates. The house itself is something to crow about as well - detached, single storey and comfortable, a reasonable size for six people.
The main entrance opens into the spacious living/dining room which has an open fireplace for cosy winter evenings. Turning right leads into the kitchen which is equipped with fridge/freezer, sink unit and 4 gas ring hob, electric oven and microwave oven. The kitchen also has door access outside to make the most of the fabulous grounds. There is a WC with washing machine (payable locally). Two double bedrooms and a twin bedroom are found up four steps. There is also a shower room with WC.
Please note: arrivals on 11th August 2006 must be for a minimum two-week stay. After 20:00 hours there is a late arrival fee of 25 Euros, payable locally. The cost of hiring a cot is 50 Euros per week and there is a final cleaning charge of 100 Euros, both payable locally.
Villa Giacu is right in the centre of things, being in the centre of the town of Costa Rei. This means shops, restaurants, bars, and essentials such as banks and chemists, are all a very short distance away. Costa Rei beach is 200 metres away hence that too is a short walk.
The beauty of Costa Rei's captivating landscape is unrivalled, for here coves and long sandy beaches abound, set off by rolling hills with intensely green Mediterranean vegetation and imposing granite cliffs.
Costa Rei is the ideal place for a relaxing beach holiday. Newspapers and magazines are within walking distance, as is the bakery with its fragrant fresh bread. Costa Rei's long sandy beaches offer rest and relaxation of the highest order. For those who like their vacations more active, surfboards, scuba diving courses and rental motorboats are all readily available, while restaurants and shopping are only a stone's throw away.
And even if you want to spend all your time at the beach, there's plenty to do: kid's pony rides at a riding school, excursions to nearby Villasimius, Capo Ferrato and the Flumendosa river valley, or from Arbatax to Cala Gonone via motor boat. Away from the beach, there's excellent shopping in Costa Rei's many boutiques, in Muravera or in Cagliari.
Night life on a summer evening in Costa Rei is anything but dull. Children leap about on trampolines, ride the carousel or take paddleboat rides. Or you might just want to dine in a beachfront restaurant with a view of the sea and revel in the delights of Sardinian cuisine.
