CASE IN STYLE 3 Residence Tavolara

The setting is lovely and very natural, and the area is especially good if you want to stay around San Teodoro. The little houses are nicely built, though their interiors could use some updating. Even as they are, I still liked them. The price is quite high.

The house has plenty of comforts, from kitchen utensils to bed linen and towels. It’s a useful base for visiting the different beaches nearby. One downside is that there aren’t any bars, bakeries, or supermarkets in the area, so you have to drive to villages nearby to find them.

My family and I had a relaxing holiday here, looking out toward Tavolara Island. The house was comfortable and well equipped, and we were warmly welcomed. It’s good value, with a central position between San Teodoro and Porto San Paolo, about 600 meters from the sea.

The sea we found was beautiful, and Rossana at Cechin was wonderful, always available for questions and information. My stars are for her and for the sea. The privately owned house itself has nothing to do with Rossana's kindness, and I can’t recommend it. It’s much too small for six beds, really suitable for a maximum of three, and has a lot of problems that I won’t list. Getting to the beach by bike is impossible, so you have to go by car, and parking is very expensive. There’s no nearby beach for dogs, as they’re all restricted, which leaves anyone with a four-legged friend having to leave them at home.
