"An amazing stay! We stayed at the accommodation of Sa Mandra for 5 nights, and ate for dinner twice at the restaurant during our stay. The location is great to visit Porto Conte national park (including the famous and impressive Grotta du Nettuno), Alghero, Asinara island, Bosa, and even Castelsardo. But it does not stop at the location. The rooms are well equipped, traditionally decorated and of overall great quality. The pool reserved for hosts is perfect and accessible all day. On top of that, the on-site educative farm and numerous play areas for children are just amazing if you visit with little ones. The food at the restaurant is simply amazing. The evening degustation menu is a never-ending treat of beautifully home-cooked Sardinian specialties. Just make sure you keep enough room for the Primis and Secondis, when you beginning digging through the Apperitivos. The breakfast for the hosts is great, full of freshly baked cakes each morning and Patrizia is leading the service to perfection. On an additional note, the optional lunch meals that you can have on-site when staying at the accommodation are delicious and a great option for a day half spent on-site. Last but definitely not least, the staff is really really great! Quality care is brought forth for each guest. Staying with our 1-year old daughter we could not have hopped for more. All of our needs were met and anticipated. Tips and recommendations for activities, sightseeing and restaurants were of great quality. The family even lent us their charging cable for our hybrid car, and let us use the facilities after our checkout time on the departure day. We highly highly recommend Sa Mandra for a stay near Alghero. Cheers!"

"On the third day of electric mountain biking with Biking Sardinia, our guide, Matteo, arranged for a late lunch break at the Le Pinnette Agriturismo. We had ridden along the cliffs above the seashore roughly from Capo Caccia and Grotta di Nettuno to Torre del Porticciolo amazing views and through the brambles of Lake Baratz. We were tired, hungry, and dirty. As I said, Matteo had promised lunch at an agriturismo. We didn’t know what to expect. Agriturismi are a sort of Italian version of dude ranches. Farmers who can’t make it on farming alone offer food they produce and lodging. They can vary widely, from quite basic with no A/C and WIFI to very elegant. On this occasion, since the place where we were supposed to go was closed, at the last moment Biking Sardinia arranged for us to have lunch at Le Pinnette. It is one of the most elegant agriturismo we had yet seen. It opened up just for us the large dining room could have easily welcomed over 100 people. The cordial waiter (alas, with apologies I forget his name , brought us more food than we could eat, from a variety of anti pasti (cheeses and affettati and snails and olives and . . . to two Sardinian pasta dishes (one, as I recall with boar ragu , to half a succulent suckling baby pig that melted in our mouths. And local pastries for dessert. And of course bottles of the delicious Sardinian Cannonau red wine and, of course, grappa to finish along with the espresso. At this point, we had forgotten our scratches and, since we were really in no condition to bike, while we chatted with the waiter, Matteo went to get the van and ferried us back to our airbnb. Botton line, excellent. The food was as good as any we had anywhere in ltaly, and the service impeccable. Like every other establishment we visited on this trip to Sardinia, it was spotless. The price, at roughly 30 Euros each, was far cheaper than we would have paid for for a comparable meal in the States here we would have paid more for the two bottles of wine we consumed. Caveat: if you want to have dinner there, as in fact at any of the better restaurants in and around Alghero, you will need a reservation."
