Federico's home is an absolute gem. We arrived a bit late and Laura met us and escorted our car to a quiet neighborhood less than five minutes outside of town. A quick nighttime-tour showed us the two spacious bedrooms (with air conditioning!) and two nice bathrooms, in addition to a well-equipped kitchen and large living room/dining room.
The whole home is recently updated, beautifully decorated, and made us feel right at home immediately. We woke up to the absolutely beautiful seaside views from the covered front-patio/porch. Moving to the back yard, there's an outdoor shower, and steps which go up to a wonderful terrace with an umbrella and lounge chair with some absolutely stunning views of the sea, sailboats, and surrounding islands.
Both Laura and Federico went out of their way to make sure we were well-taken care and even provided some great recommendations about places to eat and see. The house is only 10-20 minutes from some of the best beaches on the island, with quick access to La Maddalena in about 5 minutes, but without the crowds or noise of staying downtown.
Do yourselves a favor: stop looking at other properties and book this one now.
