The house is a typical Stazzu Gallurese, a traditional rustic northern Sardinian farmhouse, about 100 years old. It is a simple, charming and comfortable detached property set in tranquil countryside; renovated with central heating and 3 large double bedrooms, a big living room, a cosy well-equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms. It can sleep 8 - 10 people. There is a large patio, a small vineyard, fruit trees, olives and giant cacti. Li Reni is a peaceful retreat with great views and yet within a few minutes you can be dining in town or relaxing on the beach and the nearest is about a 10 minutes (5 km) drive from the house. The farmhouse is tranquil with mountains on three sides with the sea sparkling in the distance. The local village of Viddalba has restaurants, bars, shops, supermarkets and a famous thermal Spa. Good mobile Internet. Nearby, there are beach activities: sailing, windsurfing, scuba, diving. Close by there is horse riding, trekking, canoeing, cycling, fishing and excellent ice cream parlours!


Family and house: We are an English family and Li Reni is our holiday home. I am a homeopath and run a complementary medicine centre, the Highgate Health Centre, in Highgate Village, London. My partner is a podiatrist. We have children at college and some actually even working. We all enjoy coming to Sardinia whenever we can.

The house is a simple, delightful and tranquil rustic retreat. Sitting on the patio enjoying a glass or two of local wine all you can hear are the tinkling bells of sheep and goats as they graze in the surrounding mountains. We are slowly trying to make the house more self sufficient. We have our own waste treatment and the water can be used for the garden. We hope soon to have solar power and our own well for fresh water. Our little vineyard and fruit trees are organic.

Li Reni is a traditional Northern Sardinian farmhouse, called a Stazzu Gallurese and was one of the first properties to be built in the entire area. It is an important building locally as there are few original Stazzu left and it is the equivalent of Grade II listed. It was until recently a working farm.

We have renovated most of the property, added a modern bathroom with a good shower, modernised an older bathroom which has a bath, shower and washing machine and we have created a cosy kitchen with local granite worktops, oven and fridge/freezer.

I hope you might enjoy what we love about Sardinia, the fantastic beaches, beautiful countryside with empty roads and excellent food. Sardinia is famous throughout Italy for the purity and integrity of its food and much of what is produced locally is organic. The inland towns are fascinating, often set on the sides of mountains with spectacular views.

The people are open and honest and all year round there are festas in all parts of Sardinia with music and dancing. In summer there are local festas every night and as busy a nightlife as you could want. Nonetheless, the house remains a peaceful haven.

There are some good expeditions to be had into the mountainous interior of the country and along the coast there is beach after beach to be explored, many of them quite empty even in high summer. If you need it the mobile internet, smartphones, PC Tablets, etc., work well in Li Reni. We have a caretaker who lives 5 minutes away. He is a lovely guy with a young family and will happily help you as needed.

Do contact me if you are interested in renting Li Reni or you just want to know more about the house and Sardinia. There is also a pretty comprehensive visitors pack with detailed directions and if you want to know more about horseriding, trekking, diving, cycling, mountain climbing, caving, sailing, etc., please just ask.

Li Reni is absolutely charming. Private, quiet yet well positioned for local attractions

This is the third time we have visited Li Reni and we are hooked. The farmhouse is lovely, characterful, well appointed and fitted out to make for a comfortable stay. It is quiet and peaceful with glorious views over the hills and to the sea. It is also close enough to local amenities and beauty spots. We love the private beach at Isola Rosso (half hour away) and also Castel Sardo, both of which have lovely restaurants and scenery. The region is super clean and there is a clear island pride in keeping everything unspoilt. Locals are really friendly and Viddalba, the local village has various local bars, shops etc for provisions. The weather is pretty beautiful all year round as well. Booking is efficient and easy. Airport (Olbia) is 90 mins away and journey uncomplicated. Strongly recommend Li Reni for people who value peace and quiet, simplicity and appreciate beautiful scenery and nature.

Belle situation, charmante maison , avec quelques bémols

Période caniculaire donc très chaud à l’extérieur comme à l’intérieur. Merci les ventilateurs indispensables. Extérieur: nuits bruyantes à cause des chiens hurlants (le pire) Beaucoup de mouches guêpes et moustiques A part ça, cette maison convient tout à fait pour 4 adultes et deux enfants Mais pour plus……..??difficile d’imaginer ! A l’arrivée, propreté douteuse (cheveux etc dans les grilles de douches, vaisselle grasse, poussière sous les lits.) Sinon,bon séjour - même pour un prix assez élevé

Landhaus in Alleinlage

Das Ferienhaus ist landschaftlich sehr schön und etwas außerhalb des Ortes gelegen. Von der Terasse hat man einen tollen Weitblick in das Tal. Die Räume sind groß und schön eingerichtet. Wir haben zu viert überhaupt nur die untere Etage bewohnt. Im OG ist noch ein weiteres Zimmer mit einem Doppelbett und einem Einzelbett. Toll ist zudem, dass eine Waschmaschine zur Verfügung steht. Wir haben eine tolle Zeit in dem schönen Haus verbracht! Achtung: kein Geschirrspüler, kein Internet.

Simple but good value

A pleasant place to stay - especially if you like cats!Obviously no air-con so pretty hot at night midsummer despite fans. The mattress in the upstairs bedroom could do with updating. Shops and pizzerias only 5 mins away.

Wonderful summer holiday at Li Reni

Enjoyed another lovely holiday at Li Reni. Visited our old haunts of Castelsardo, which has wonderful restaurants, and also the beach at Isola Rosso. Both are within half an hours drive through lovely scenery. The first is very spectacular on a hill. Isola Rosso has lots of restaurants and hidden bays and nice shops. House is very pleasant and welcoming. We enjoyed sitting out on the terrace and reading in total peace and quiet and eating Al Fresco. Recommend Li Reni for anyone who loves quiet and beautiful surroundings, as well as the ability to reach local attractions with ease. It is the perfect hideout. Looking forward to our next visit.

Wunderschön

Li Reni ist der perfekte Ort zum entspannen und ideal für Kinder. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder und hatten mehr als genug Platz. Die Terrasse und Grundstück ist riesig und man ist nur von Natur umgeben. Die Kinder hatten genügend Platz zum Spielen und Entdecken. Der Blick in die umliegenden Berge und das Meer ist wunderschön. Da das Haus alleine steht hört man Abends nur die Grillen zirpen und ab und zu eine Ziegenherde. Da es ein altes Bauernhaus mit richtig dicken Mauern ist, ist das Haus auch in der größten Hitze innen angenehm kühl und man hat immer die ideale Temperatur auch nachts zum Schlafen. Der Sternenhimmel ist gigantisch, da es rundherum nur Natur gibt. Es gibt ein paar halbwilde Katzen, die zum Haus gehören und die man füttern muss. Wenn man das aber regelmäßig macht werden sie richtig zutraulich und man hat viel Spaß mit ihnen. Das Meer ist nicht weit weg und es gibt viele wunderschöne Strände in der Gegend. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter klappt hervorragend und er ist sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Li Reni ist wirklich ein idyllisches und sehr schönes Fleckchen Erde und ist für einen entspannten Familienurlaub der perfekte Ort. Wir können es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Sehr tolles Haus und Anwesen! Top Vermieter, Schneller und zuverlässiger Kontakt!

Waren mit insgesamt 9 Personen (4 Erwachsene, 5 Kinder - 1,5 Jahre, 2 Jahre, 3,5 Jahre, 5 Jahre und 5,5 Jahre). Das Haus war für uns perfekt und war perfekt aufgeteilt. Die Terrasse ist sehr groß und bestens als Spielfläche für die Kinder geeignet. Dank der Heizung war auch ein Aufenthalt Mitte April machbar. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war unkompliziert, schnell und sehr freundlich. Wir würden das Haus sofort wieder mieten.

Li Reni and the lemon trees

Li Reni ..... what a wonderful holiday. We liked the house very much and especially the place in front of it, with the garden around. I often watered the flowers and admired every single plant. We even tried a Sardinian recipe from the calendar with pine nuts, garlic and lemons from the garden - this became our favorite food. The beaches are very different and we have tested some. We like them all. Especially the one on your card, we walked over the rocks to this lovely lonely beach. Spiaggia di San Pietro became our "home" beach. Right next to it and also very exciting is the lagoon - river Coghinas. We are all very curious and so we explored the river with kayaks and SUP's - very exciting for children. We also liked the small village viddalba next to Li Reni with some cafes and a small museum. It is worth visiting the museum, which beautifully describes the history of the valley. Everything you need you can find in the supermarkets. We could not resist and bought a dessert in our favorite cafe. The dessert was unbelievably delicious. Tempio Pausana is also a nice little town, we liked a lot. We were looking for the water source and found it in a mysterious park with big trees. We can imagine coming again to a place with lemon trees near the sea on a wonderful island.........

Perfect getaway, it was our first time in Sardinia and the area was lovely and peaceful. The house was nice and cool inside, and rooms were spacious. The terrace had views over the countryside, the local town had useful shops, and the beach was lovely and unspoilt. Would love to go back soon.

Supernice Indian summer in Sardenia

We've just come home from a lovely holiday in this wonderful farmhouse near Viddalba. Pictures on booking sites are often so nice that reality can only disappoint you, but in this case the reality was even better! With 6 adults we did not need to throw the dice over the 3 wonderfully furnished bedrooms and the 2 bathrooms were also greatly appreciated. Special mention for the quality bookshelves that demand to be read and therefore ask for a longer stay. From below the trees (that have grown considerably bringing even more shadow) the view over the valley towards Castelsardo and the sea is beautiful. We certainly intend to come back here, because we have not seen all of Sardenia yet. And this characteristic farmhouse has proven to be the ideal base for further exploration.

Absolute Idylle Mitten in Sardinien

Idyllischer kann ein Haus nicht liegen. In drei Richtungen hat man einen traumhaften Ausblick, mit zerklüfteten Bergen, Feldern und dem blauen Meer in der Ferne. Das Grundstück war genauso schön wie die Umgebung, hatte eigenen Weinanbau, Obstbäume, eine tolle Terrasse. Das große Haus war einfach, aber mit sehr viel Charme und Liebe für Details und teilweise tollen alten Möbeln. Wir waren insgesamt zehn Personen, darunter vier Kleinkinder. Vor allem die Kinder haben es genossen auf dem Grundstück zu spielen, Mandeln oder Klementinen zu pflücken, mit den Katzen zu spielen oder einfach nur zu erkunden. Aber auch alle Erwachsenen haben ihre Ecken gefunden, ob unter dem Mandelbaum, zwischen den Weinreben oder auf der Terrasse. Die Nachbarn mit Schweinen und Hühnern waren sehr herzlich zu uns. Der Eigentümer, der das Haus selbst als Ferienhaus nutzt, war immer äußerst hilfs-bereit und informativ. Man spürt, dass er Li Reni, so heißt das Grundstück, liebt und es ihm wichtig ist, dass man dort eine schöne Zeit verbringt. Auf Anfragen hat er immer in Sekundenschnelle reagiert. Die Informationen in der Anzeige und den liebevoll vorbereiteten Info-Paketen sind sehr zutreffend und helfen einem, sich ein Bild zu machen. Schlagwörter wie "authentisch", "romantisch", "ländlich" haben sehr bei der Suche geholfen. Es ist selten, dass man solche im Tourismus-Marketing oft verwendete Schlagworte so wörtlich nehmen kann wie hier. In dem Haus hat man sich wie zu Gast bei guten Bekannten gefühlt. Die Umgebung ist wie erwähnt traumhaft. Man liegt aber abseits von größeren touristischen Attraktionen oder touristischer Infrastruktur. Der nächste Strand ist 10-15 Minuten, das nächste Dorf (mit Läden, Restaurants) ca. 5 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Die nächste "richtige" touristische Stadt, Castelsardo, ist ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Dadurch hat man aber das Gefühl Mitten in Sardinien zu sein, was für uns neben dem Haus selbst die Hauptattraktion war. Im Anschluss waren wir noch für mehrere Tage in tollen agriturismos an der Ostküste. So toll es da war, haben wir Li Reni gleich sehr vermisst. Der Abschied nach zwei Wochen Li Reni fiel uns allen wirklich schwer. Das Haus können (und werden wir) uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen. Wir möchten auch unbedingt wiederkommen!

Feels like being part of Sardinian rural life

Ever wanted to stay in one of those tranquil, out of the way places travel writers write about? We stayed at Li Reni in September, still warm/hot, and it is one of those places. In the midst of the hills of northern Sardinia, yet only a few minute's drive from a number of local, picture-postcard villages, with their friendly shops, bars and restaurants, to buy supplies, or have a very reasonably priced evening out. A glass of red on the terrace as the sun sets, is the perfect segue from a day at the beach or exploring the countryside, to enjoying a dinner of local fare and Sardinian hospitality. A good choice of beaches from the busy to the secluded, or a walk along the coastline with a picnic along the way, made for some great days out. Li Reni has been beautifully restored in the old style with modern facilities and is so quiet and restful at night. It's surrounded by its own gardens of lime trees and other typical hillside plantings. And of course there's that Sardinian speciality, ice cream! There seems to be three main local ice cream parlours, one of which just stood out from the rest, but I can't remember its name. We were happy to compare and contrast again and again and again and again.....

I would recommand it to friends without any hesitation because the view of the neighboring mountains is great,it's a quiet place for relaxing, and the house is very comfortable. The inhabitants of the closest village are very friendly, as for the Sardinians, especially with the kids ... thank's for all Ron

Lovely spacious house in beautiful surroundings.

This is a very lovely traditional Sardinian farm house with all mod cons and situated in truly beautiful surroundings. Quiet and secluded but not too far to walk into the nearest small town Viddalba for shops and bars etc. A short drive in almost any direction will take you to some very fine beaches with great swimming and snorkeling opportunities. We spent many hours just walking along these beaches taking in the lovely sea air and spectacular views. There are also some nice markets, restaurants and shops in many of the surrounding towns if that's what takes your fancy. We did a lot of our own cooking with local fresh produce which was tasty and reasonably priced. The house itself is very well maintained and has a large patio (though you will have to share this with some very friendly semi-resident cats!). The garden area around the house is very beautiful with many exotic plants and some lovely views of the marvelous surrounding landscape. The bedrooms are comfy and spacious and there is a very large dining room/lounge and two modern equipped bathrooms. The kitchen is a bit on the small side but has everything you need and is very user friendly. We had a fantastic stay here and would definitely recommend it to others.

, For a great family holiday.....

Great characterful house, clean, well-stocked with things that made it like a home from home (kids games, all the kitchen implements you needed, a library of good books!!!) The view from the terrace is wonderful and with enough shade to sit/eat out during the day. It hit 43C in the first few days but after a spectacular electric storm calmed down to a glorious 30C for rest of holiday. Kids loved the beaches (we had great waves after the storm) Li Mindi, Cala Rossa and Li Margnanu being our favourites, though they also loved having a mud bath and swim at the thermal spring about 3km away. Viddalba has all the shops you'd need for provisions - we can recommend the bread shop highly! If you want a bit of culture Castelsardo is worth a visit and my lads loved all the weaponry in the Museum of Banditry in Aggius (my vote would have gone to the Ethnographic museum but....) The owner's notes/advice were copious and most helpful and were all we needed to find our way around. Our favourite restaurants were in fact the nearest ones...... and oh!! the food!! A wonderful place for a holiday (and I imagine it's amazing in spring)

Wunderschön gelegenes altes Bauernhaus

Wir haben in diesem Sommer mit zwei Familien 2 Wochen in Li Reni verbracht und hatten einen wunderbaren Urlaub. Das Haus ist wunderschön gelegen, außerhalb des Städtchens Viddalba, ruhig und idyllisch mit Blick auf die Berge und das Meer. Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, hat schön eingerichtete Schlafzimmer und zwei großzügige Bäder. Die Küche mag etwas klein sein, war aber ausreichend zumal unser Hauptaufenthaltsort immer die großzügige Terrasse mit beeindruckendem Panoramablick war. Unsere Kinder waren besonders begeistert von den Tieren in der Nachbarschaft: Schweine und Katzen wurden täglich gefüttert und mit dem kleinen, jungen Hund des Nachbar-Bauern gespielt. Meer und der nächste Strand sind mit dem Auto in ca. 10-15 Min. erreichbar, die nächsten Geschäfte/Supermärkte in Viddalba oder im nicht weit entfernten Badesi. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Wir kommen wieder!!

A stupendous end of September at Li Reni

The only clouds we saw were during the brief shower when we arrived - then clear skies and lovely weather for the rest of the week. We couldn't believe we were swimming in the sea in October! Li Reni was just the spot for a perfect chill-out vacation. The sun on the terrace for morning coffee and the cooling breeze in the evening bookended days of tootling round deserted roads investigating glorious empty beaches and the dramatic hinterland, and making a serious study of as many different vineyards as we could manage. Not to mention all the cheese makers. We especially enjoyed foraging for wood for the barbeque along the tracks around the back. A charming, comfortable spot - spotlessly clean, with that most essential touch - a library of books you've been planning to read for ages, but haven't had the time...until now. The owner was very responsive and helpful and lots of information in the house.Would love to see it in the early spring when the flowers are in bloom, it must be truly spectacular then, but it was also wonderful when it was so warm but so empty of tourists.

Li Reni - a place to relax

At nightly arrival and previously been in a 4-star hotel in Lucca the night before it's quite a difference entering the estate. It wasn't too easy to be found too. However, making yourself familiar with the rooms, the building and the great veranda you feel comfortable in almost no time especially at sunrise and dawn. It's a restored farmhouse in good shape(so a nice place to be, but no hotel luxury). Beach can be reached in some 15min and super markets eg in Badesi are available as well. Cats and pigs are around too - especially salad rests are highly appreciated by the pigs. At night it may feel a bit isolated - however, it's nature and offers a nice view from the veranda across the land line. Which is anyway the favorite place to be during sunny hours - there is always a slight wind even at the hot hours its comfortable to stay there and that may last til late night hours as well.

Traumhafter Familienurlaub

Wir waren Ende Mai für eine Woche Gast auf Li Reni.Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt,wir haben jeden Tag genossen. Li Reni war unser erholsamer Rückzugsort mit einem Glas Rotwein auf der Terasse. Absolut ruhig und doch nur kurze Wege zu wunderschönen Stränden. Wir hoffen, die süssen Katzen werden von allen Besuchern mit Wasser und Futter versorgt,wir denken oft an die vier kleinen " Sardinen". Wir würden gerne wieder kommen.

A hidden gem

I am reluctant to share our lovely experience for fear of the hoardes massing but what a lovely place Li Reni was. A perfect getaway house, well equipped, comfy and polished off with the most wonderful terrace and view. We had a great holiday exploring the local region, perfect for small kids, lots of beaches and good food. The best was the evening sunset on the terrace though.

Get away from it all...

I really appreciated getting away from it all. As a stressed city dweller, the tranquil peace of Li Reni with only the clanking of distant goat bells, was a reviving reminder of a slower pace of life! I love the terrace and the local wine, they're a perfect combination! You can drive to some great rustic village eateries with welcoming hosts, and bags of charm, and you're the only foreigner! The weather was perfect and the beach was a leisurely 15 minute drive. We'll be back! Thanks!

Es ist eigenartig. Eigentlich haben wir uns eleganter vorgestellt und waren enttäuscht zu Beginn. Dann passierte es: Wir fühlten uns nach einem anständigen Frühstück wie zu Hause. Man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Alles stimmt.

Dreamvacation

Wir haben leider nur eine Woche in diesem Haus verbringen können: Es war eine traumhafte Woche! Das Haus ist romantisch und gleichzeitig praktisch gelegen, es ist bestens ausgestattet. Die Ruhe und der weite Blick vom Haus bis zum Meer sind unbeschreiblich schön. Ein perfekter Ort um auch innere Ruhe zu finden! Das Meer ist mit dem Fahrrad zu erreichen, dabei radelt man durch das nahegelegene Dorf mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Menschen. Wir wollen gerne in dieses Haus und diese ursprüngliche Gegend zurückkehren!
