RECOMMENDATIONS - area/accommodation

Hello 
 
We’re hoping to spend a week in Sardinia next year, 28^th May to 4^th June 2016. There are nine of us, 6 adults; three children aged eight, three & two.  I’ve been on several websites including Owners Direct and TripAdvisor and found some wonderful properties; problem is they all look good as do all the towns, areas etc.  
 
I’d be grateful for any recommendations; we'd also prefer an area/accommodation close to the airport considering the children’s ages… the flight from London is already over a two-hour flight

Thanks 

I've never been to Sardinia but am really looking forward to going there soon.  I hope you get some good recommendations Casa Monal that I can feed off!

The problem is that the whole of Sardinia is wonderful and it would be difficult to decide which location will suit you better. I have been a couple of times there, although not recently, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed my visits. Traveling with young children will somehow restrict your movements. This guide will be very helpful http://www.charmingsardinia.com/sardinia/top-10-sardinian-places

Villasimius!Our town great place and just 50 min from Cagliari airport

@ghiro – I’ll do a recky*. *recky - reconnaissance mission - a mission with the objective of obtaining information usually regarding the position or activities of an ‘’enemy’’. (just in case an explanation is necessary:twisted:  )
  
@Gala - thanks for the link Gala. Had a look, some beautiful places, very posh, perhaps too posh for my lot
 

@pass55 – I’m sure it is…the whole island is beautiful We’re considering a villa near Alghero, just need to check flights etc. Logistical headache, need flights from London, Yorkshire and the Netherlands…and they should all arrive at the same time.

We're going in September for a week but it's not near an airport although it is voted the best family hotel on Sardegna. I'll let you know what it's like.

Sounds like Forte Village Admin

No, it's called Hotel Club Saraceno. I went to the Forte village donkey's years ago but I can't say I was impressed. Of course I was a lot younger and didn't have kids so maybe I'd feel differently now but it was like a posher Butlins!

Very posh now as in Gordon Ramsay restaurant posh

I've just looked it up - it's changed beyond all recognition! It's more like it's own country and massively out of our budget!!!!

Mind you I wasn't paying last time - it was a free company holiday. I imagine those days are over now what with austerity
