Ho trascorso una settimana a Posada con le mie figlie e la valutazione è assolutamente positiva: l'appartamento è nel cuore del centro storico, si raggiunge da una scalinata di ciottoli che la sera offre uno spettacolo suggestivo sul mare al tramonto. Unica pecca il trasporto valigie e spesa, ma la fatica è ampiamente ripagata. La spiaggia è raggiungibile in auto in pochi minuti, parcheggio a pagamento, ampia spiaggia libera e zona attrezzata con ombrelloni e lettini, mare meraviglioso. Il nostro host Rino è sempre presente e disponibile, ma non abbiamo avuto bisogno di nulla perché la casa è molto funzionale.

Recensione
La casa si trova in centro storico a Posada e non in un quartiere residenziale da villeggiatura, per potersi viversi al meglio la vita nel paese. Inoltre da Posada si possono raggiungere facilmente tutte le spiagge migliori della costa Nord Est della Sardegna. La spiaggia molto bella di Posada si trova a soli 20 minuti a piedi (in macchina neanche 5 minuti).
La casa è piccola ma perfetta per una coppia, con tutti i comfort necessari e con un comodo tavolino da mettere fuori per poter mangiare all’aperto sulla vietta.
Menzione speciale per il signor Rino che ci ha accolti con calore ed è sempre stato disponibilissimo per qualunque nostro bisogno.

Bene nel complesso
Pulizia: la casa era pulita e dotata di tutto il necessario (stoviglie, moka, asciugamani, lenzuola, tappetino doccia, phon, inoltre erano a disposizione anche tè e spezie e detersivi) Peccato che fin da subito siamo stati costretti a fare il triplo dell’attenzione nel lasciare qualsiasi cosa sul piano della cucina.. le formiche sbucavano da sotto il piano. Più volte ho pulito a fondo evitando di lasciare briciole e alimenti ma puntualmente le formiche tornavano; sono arrivate fino in bagno. Peccato!
Posizione: per quanto riguarda la distanza dalle varie spiagge devo dire che la posizione è ottima, in circa 15-20 min puoi raggiungere molte zone diverse. Inoltre il parcheggio vicino al paese è molto comodo per lasciare la macchina.. invece, devo dire che raggiungere la casa a piedi non è stato il massimo della comodità, essendo la strada in salita e con un bel po’ di scalini.
Gestore: Rino ci ha ben accolto, è sempre stato disponibile con noi a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della sera, nonostante i piccoli inconvenienti con lo scaldabagno (che inizialmente perdeva e impiegava molto tempo per scaldare l’acqua) e le formiche. Siamo rimasti solo un po’ delusi dalla poca trasparenza sul prezzo da pagare per la pulizia della casa (+ asciugamani e lenzuola) poiché sul sito c’era scritto che erano compresi e al telefono il signor Rino ci aveva precedentemente confermato ciò. Una volta arrivati in loco, invece, ci ha subito detto che dovevamo pagare 60€ per questo servizio. Ci è dispiaciuto perché non potevamo controbattere, in quanto la descrizione sul sito era stata cambiata. Ci è sembrato poco carino.

Una piccola casa confortevole nella atmosfera degli antichi vicoli del borgo.
Casa ben ristrutturata con dotazioni semplici e funzionali. Abbiamo molto apprezzato la cortesia del sig. Rino che ci ha accolto e si è reso disponibile e pronto a dare risposta ad ogni nostra richiesta.

un séjour mitigé
nous avons passé un séjour à 3 ados et un adulte dans ce logement : maison très petite en plein centre de posada, surement adapté pour 3, mais trop juste pour quatre personnes; lit- canapé en bas impossible de dormir.... le reste des literies est OK. en outre, l'environnement est bruyant: chiens, chats, clim des voisins, on est loin du calme qu'on croit pouvoir imaginer; c'est vraiment dommage, la maison en elle même est plutot bien, notamment l'étage; toutefois, l'équipement cuisine est basique, voire insuffisant (quatre fourchettes...); un réassort de la cuisine s'impose!; accueil satisfaisant de rino et du propriétaire ;

Eine ganz besondere Ferienunterkunft
Ich war eine Woche mit meiner Tochter in diesem schönen Häuschen in einem wunderschönen alten Bergdorf Posada. Das Haus ist klein, aber genauso wie es auf den Fotos abgebildet ist. Wer gern einen individuellen Urlaub macht ist hier genau richtig aufgehoben. Die Sitzgelegenheit vor der Tür ist perfekt, es ist sehr idyllisch und authentisch. Wir haben dort jeden Morgen gefrühstückt und unsere Abende dort beim Weinchen verbracht. Der Kontakt Vorort hat super geklappt, das Ehepaar aus dem Restaurant war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Essen im Restaurant war ebenfalls seeehr lecker und es passte Preis/Leistung. Der Strand war uns fußläufig bei 33 Grad ein bisschen weit, wir sind mit dem Auto gefahren, der war zwar kostenpflichtig aber für uns war das ok. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen, die Woche haben wir uns jetzt fest eingeplant, allerdings könnte ich auch 2 oder 3 Wochen bleiben, so schön ist es. Was die besagte Hauswand betrifft, uns hat sie nicht gestört, ist eben nicht alles perfekt und das ist gut so. Einziges Manko ist vielleicht die Sache mit der Müllentsorgung vor Abreise, schade dass es nicht irgendwo noch Müllcontainer gibt

nicht ganz überzeugend
Wir waren in den ersten 2 Septemberwochen 2018 in der Ferienwohnung.
Der Kontakt zum Vermieter und zu Rino und Christel vor Ort war sehr nett und informativ. Die Wohnung ist sehr klein, die Hauswand gegenüber sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Leider haben wir einen Ameisenbefall gehabt. An Geräten war alles außer einem Radio da. Allerdings fehlen die Steckdosen an der Arbeitsplatte zum Betrieb von Toaster und Wasserkocher.
Die Wohnung liegt günstig zum Strand (sehr schön) und zu den Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (der Tante Emma-Laden ist sehr zu empfehlen). Von einer ruhigen Lage kann man allerdings nicht sprechen. In der Nacht kommen die Hunde in der Nachbarschaft nicht zur Ruhe und früh wird man von der Müllabfuhr geweckt.
In der Beschreibung wurde das Bad als großzügig beschrieben. Dem ist nicht ganz so. Die Dusche läuft sehr schlecht ab. Die Bilder in der Beschreibung sind wahrscheinlich sehr gut belichtet, so hell ist die Wohnung selbst bei strahlendem Sonnenschein nicht.
Alles in Allem stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht.

Originelle Unterkunft direkt im Bergdorf
Uns hat es gut in dieser Unterkunft gefallen. Es ist sauber und schön eingerichtet. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch Rino ist sehr gut. Er kümmert sich um alles.
Morgens und vor allem abends sitzt es sich in der Gasse vor dem Haus sehr angenehm. Wir haben dies oft genutzt.
Auch wenn es uns gut gefallen hat und die Unterkunft jederzeit empfehlen würden, vergeben wir nur 4 von 5 Sternen, weil die Hauswand gegenüber gewöhnungsbedürftig ist.

Maison au coeur du village historique de Posada
Arrivée tardive (23h), nous avons été superbement bien accueilli par Rino le gérant de l'hotel Sa Rocca. Rino et sa femme sont très accueillant et prêts à vous aider si vous en avez besoin.
La plage de sable blanc est à 20 minutes à pied, vous pouvez y aller en voiture mais le parking est payant ( comme beaucoup de plage en Sardaigne)
La maison est située en plein centre du village historique ce qui rend l'endroit assez atypique.
Merci Enno, nous avons passé un agréable séjour chez vous.
