This B&B has rooms with breakfast or a bungalow without. We opted for the latter to get more space and the ability to do our own cooking. The bungalow presented as very compact, almost doll house like. There is a small kitchen, with a two burner stove, a small refrigerator and microwave. The bathroom is very small and has a shower. Those are the positives. Also, the owner would provide us with some fresh fruit from her garden. However, there were quite a few negatives, namely: 1. We noted that many insects/flying insects littered the floor and other surfaces each day, and assumed that a potent insecticide had been sprayed. We took photos all the insects collected on one day. I had some irritation to my eyes, and a mild headache which may have been related. Because of concerns for our health, we decided to check out early. 2. Contrary to three other one bedroom hotel/apartments we stayed at in Sardinia, this cabin did not have a sofa and consequently, the only comfortable place to sit during our stay was the bed. 3. The bedroom had bunk beds, but we felt crowded at two adults in the space, I would not have enjoyed having active children with me. 4. The cabin had a few small windows and the air was very still, making for poor natural light and a suffocating space in the summer heat, absent A/C. Other rentals we stayed in had louvered blinds and good ventilation. 5. The electricity cut off a number of times. The owner told us it was because we were using the A/C 24-hours a day. A lie. If we were there, we would use it from about noon to the evening, probably averaging at most 8 hours a day, and it was set at 26C. This differed from the other rentals where because of blinds, ventilation and good insulation (such as double pane windows), we used it much less, maybe half that. I assume that there was no ceiling insulation. The owner wanted use to sit outside in the stifling heat, surrounded by mosquitoes. 6. We were on a working vacation and needed internet access. We found internet access in our various rentals, imperfect, but in this case, it went out for hours at a time. 7. Finally, it simply was not a good value compared to our other stays in Sardinia. We did not request a refund for all our stay, but were willing to settle for unused days. The owner refused because she stated that we did not let her address the problem. This argument is specious. While I speak three languages, I do not speak Italian and she only knows Italian and had shown herself to be argumentative. Further, how could she address the issue of a pesticide once it had been sprayed and she only had one bungalow?
