La Vecchia Montagna BB

I didn’t feel welcome or safe, and I ended up leaving. Maybe the language barrier played a part, since other people seem to have had better experiences. When I asked the owner for milk in the morning, they seemed angry and made jokes about me while I was there. Later, after threatening me over food I’d kept in the communal fridge, they banged on my door, and at one point I hid in my room. There was no hot water in my room. I was bitten by something, possibly bed bugs or fleas, though I can’t be sure what, and the bites caused hives and a reaction. My sheets and towels weren’t changed after a few days. Breakfast was basic, with processed food, and getting in required a code. It felt more like an Airbnb setup than a bed and breakfast, as the owner wasn’t always on site. The decor reminded me of my nonna’s house.

The staff were friendly, the place was clean, and breakfast was decent. It’s basic but works fine, though I thought it cost a little too much for what it is.

It’s on the coastal road, about 25 minutes from Iglesias and close to some fantastic beaches. You can park on the street, and the owner is friendly and helpful. The price is reasonable for a coastal area with few places to stay at that rate. The building is basic, with furnishings that feel like grandma’s house. There’s no Wi-Fi and mobile coverage is poor. Breakfast is simple, with croissants, yogurt, biscuits, and coffee. Avoid the restaurant across the street!

The rooms and location were nice, and they had everything we needed. Renzo and his wife were kind and attentive, breakfast was plentiful, and the price was reasonable.
