Monte Pedrosu Apt  3, Sardinia

Cala Girgolu Beach , a picture postcard arc of white sand edging a turquoise sea is just 1.5 Kms from our Monte Pedrosu Apts and when we were there in September, was rather quaintly serviced by a small boat which stopped by intermittently, serving gelato (ice cream), cold drinks and coffees from its deck and undoubtedly calling in it the variety of pretty coves along the coastline.

These, almost reclusive sea view apartments are appealingly set around an attractive free form pool in pretty cloistered gardens complete with barbecue and pizza oven hidden away amongst its foliage and quietly tended by the owners who live in a ground floor apartment and speak no English. However, armed with a phrase book and sense of humour, we are sure you will soon be on more than nodding acquaintance, as they are looking forward to welcoming their English guests in typically unobtrusive Sardinian way. The ten apartments are each a little different in layout but all are modern and bright with a smart shower room and open plan, well equipped kitchen/living area. The covered balconies, or garden terraces of the ground floor apartments provide a popular extension to the living area and they all have either sea or garden views.

Prettily pastel lemon tinted apartments, they sit on a sweep of wooded headland that stretches from the village of Monte Pedrosu out towards rocky Capo Coda Cavallo off which lie the islands of Molarotto and distinctively shaped Isola Tavolara, once a kingdom in its own right. Here and there, similar terracotta roofs of select privately owned apartments and sardinia villas spread out across the cape, attractively punctuating the landscape.

The village of Monte Pedrosu is just 600m away, within a 15mins stroll and conveniently offers a choice of two trattorias, as well as a cafe, a butcher and small supermarket but if you like to be spoilt for choice, then you won't be disappointed by the small town of San Teodoro, just a 10 mins drive with an array of villas, shops and restaurants and also coincidentally blessed with a vast gently shelving white sand beach that would compete on equal terms with some of the best of the Caribbean.

There are three washing machines in the grounds for the use of guests.

We consider car hire useful, but please bear in mind that if you intend arriving by means of bus from Olbia Airport (4 per day) you will need to carry your luggage the last 600ms - taxis are few and far between in Sardinia.

Apt 3 - First floor, Sea Views - Sleeps 5

This first floor apartment has a private staircase leading to a small balcony where a door leads into the kitchen area, well equipped with a full oven and fridge/freezer fitted amongst the tidy run of cupboards. The bright and modern living area is nicely furnished with table and chairs and a sofa bed, which could be useful should you wish to take a 5th person. French doors lead from the living room onto the lovely covered balcony, with views over the pool towards the sea. The twin bedroom has windows looking over the gardens and the double bedroom has French doors which open to the rear balcony.

Location of Monte Pedrosu Apt 3**
Monte Pedrosu / San Teodoro, Sardinia
As the saying goes, less is often more and this can truly be said of the little village of Monte Pedrosu. A convenient 25 kms from Olbia, its supermarket, butcher, choice of 2 restaurants, cafe and a hairdresser more than adequately meet the immediate needs of the population in its vicinity, supplemented by the occasional traveling shop selling artisan products. ...More about Monte Pedrosu / San Teodoro >>

Comments on Monte Pedrosu Apt 3**

Mr and Mrs Humphries - May 2009

"We have just returned from a very enjoyable week at Monte Pedrosu Apartments. It was our first visit to Sardinia, which we found to be quiet with beautiful beaches and coves, several of which were within ten minutes drive of the apartments. Our accommodation was spacious, well equipped and clean with lovely views from our first floor balcony. The apartments are contained within well kept gardens and are a short walk from the village centre. There are three excellent restaurants nearby i.e. Il Pescatori, the Bar-B-Q and the Four Winds, with several cheaper alternatives nearby. The apartments are an easy 30 minutes drive from the airport. In September we will be returning to Rouladina in Crete with Freelance for the fifth time, if you like Rouladina you will also enjoy Monte Pedrosu apartments. We will certainly go back again. "

"We have just returned from the Monte Pedrosu Apt, we had 2 lovely weeks, the Apartment was spacious and bright and we loved the sea views from the balcony both in the morning for breakfast and in the evening with a glass of local red when the sun was setting, our kids loved the pool (one even learnt to swim whilst there) and the gardens were very pretty and well tended by the friendly owners (not a word of English but nice smile). We found many sandy beaches within a short drive of Monte Pedrosu the best being La Cinca beach in San Teodoro, there were 3 good restaurants within a short stroll of the Apt (our fav was Quatro Vente, great Pizza and pasta) and San Teodoro town was packed with lots of restaurants and in the evening it came alive with pretty market stalls selling locally made products and locals having there evening walk. We also found the best ever fish restaurant overlooking the sea inbetween Monte Pedrosu & San Teodoro called "La Pescara" we found the restaurant prices a lot cheaper than the UK. All in all we had 2 fantastic weeks and loved the Apt, the views and the area, we are planning to come back again next year and can't wait !! Jane, Paul & Kids, Brighton, June 08 "
