Pros: The BEACHES........each one is different and each one is gorgeous!!!

Rude, dishonest ...ruined my vacation!!!!!!!! Stay in a hotel!!
The Bottom Line: Go to Sardinia but do not make a reservation at El Buric or any other site associated with this host.

| ottavino's Full Review: Sardinia |
Sardinia is an incredibly beautiful island with lovely, friendly people. The beaches are incredible. I made reservations on the Internet with El Buric B&B in Alghero. I was greeted at the airport by the owner (which cost $10.00) who immediately demanded cash from the ATM in the corner of the airport. I refused as I had not seen the lodging!! I was then taken to my lodging which was on the 4th floor, in a 2 bedroom flat. The owners rented out their bedrooms and slept in the kitchen. This was not disclosed when I made the reservation. I had to pay extra for use of the refrigerator and could only stay in my bedroom, no common area. I paid $70.00Euros for this single lodging.Two days later I was taken to another town, out in the country which was not disclosed when I made the reservation. I was greeted by a toothless host that screamed at me in Italian for at least 4 minutes. Every night I had to endure noise until the wee hours from children and parents who were sitting outside my window. I also paid 70 Euros for this and was NOT given a receipt for any of the cash I paid even though I asked each host for a receipt. There was a list of 20 rules on the dresser, sweet bread and brown water for breakfast served 30 minutes before the 9:00 am breakfast stated on the list of rules. I am a very flexible traveler and have spent several vacations in Italy, France, CZ, Austria, UK., CH. I spent every waking moment AWAY from this lodging...I have never experienced 1% of this behavior on any vacation in my entire life.
