Great value, friendly and clean, excellent view!
Posted 30 May 2018 on HotelsThis place was perfect for our couples trip. The apartment was large, very clean and even had a bbq. The balcony is huge and we had an amazing view of the sea. The owner doesn't speak English, but is very nice and friendly and we managed to understand everything. The pool was great and clean as well, if a little chilly. You need to buy washing up liquid and loo roll, and make your own beds, but this didn't bother us at all. The place isn't super fancy, but is perfect for a quiet get away, with all the space and appliances you need to cook for yourself. There is a big supermarket a 5 minute drive away. You definitely need a car for this area, the best beaches were again about a 7 minutes drive away, too far to walk. But it is much nicer staying on the outskirts of town. There is also only wifi by reception. We thought this place was fantastic value for what we paid.

Nice location and views
Posted 5 Oct 2015 on HotelsBasic standard accommodation in need of a little attention but worth it for the price and location.

Not what I was expecting!
Posted 25 Aug 2015
Pros: The gardens and the pool were kept well
Cons: The level of service. It doesn't take much to get the room information translated into different languages and to also recommend local attractions
Location: Stunning location - best beaches are 15 minute drive towards Castiada and Costa Rei
Best restaurants - Santa Maria (great service), Carubao (Brazil)
I feel compelled to write a review after my recent stay at Residence la Chimera.
We finally got to the hotel 4 hours after landing at Cagliari Airport. We arrived at the hotel at 4pm to find no one at the front desk to greet us. We tried calling the number on the Expedia website and the phone just rang with no answer. (the website says check-in from 4pm) We kept ringing every now and again and finally got an answer from the owner (who cannot speak a word of English) at around 4:30pm. Please steer clear from this hotel if you can't speak Italian and there is no communication whatsoever. Even the room information is only in Italian! The owner then proceeded to give us towels and sheets and led us to our room. I was shocked to find out that we had to make our own beds!!!!! This is no hotel!
Even though the owner could see I had a broken leg, he led us to the room furthest away from the pool and carpark. The room was clean but was never cleaned during our stay (website says cleaning once per stay). We had to buy all the basic cleaning products including washing up liquid and kitchen and bathroom cleaner sponges
We had no idea where the nearest beaches and restaurants were. We had to discover everything on our own, and frustratingly, we couldn't even get a sunbed on the nearest beach (Campulongu) as the Italians seem to reserve these in advance. So they sent us away - broken leg and all!!!
The area is stunning but make sure you know the area well if you are to stay here

Sunny October!
Posted 19 Oct 2014Have just spent 5 nights at the Residence la Chimera and had a lovely time. It was end of season and we were the only ones there! The weather was also fantastic, very warm and sunny, with quite a lot of wind.
The owner was really kind and helpful, despite not speaking any English and our very limited understanding of Italian.
The apartment was basic but lovely and had everything we needed. Location was good, a 10 min walk from a small beach but the best beaches a short drive away, as was the town of Villasimius.
All in all we had a great time here, and would highly recommend.
