Villa vacation rentals in Porto Istana

We had an AMAZING time! The views and sunsets were stunning! Sagi who welcomed us was extremely professional and so welcoming! We can't wait to be back!!

We had a lovely stay at Mattia’s house. The house is as described, it was clean and has a great view. You need a car.

The villa is fabulous for a family holiday, my husband and I stayed with my son, his wife and 14 month old baby, my daughter and her partner. The accommodation was just right, with on-suite bathrooms and the additional room for the baby with a cot provided. The accommodation and outside areas were so clean and tidy we had no concerns for our small grandson crawling around. There are two supermarkets within walking distance that provided everything we needed and Palau is a short walk to great restaurants, a small beach and harbor and a short ferry trip to the nearby island. Claudia and Pier were brilliant in providing a large playpen we requested for our grandson as he had become very mobile, which was so useful when we were out around the pool. Antonella who met us on check in was amazing, and so helpful for any questions we had and she helped us so much when my daughter was unwell. There's so much more I wish we could add to this review to say how much we recommend staying here. 10+

Wonderful villa, a real oasis of peace in close contact with nature, ideal for relaxing as a couple or with friends. Very comfortable and high-quality beds and sheets. The house is equipped with every comfort, including a washer and dryer. Pool and surrounding area are the real strong point, the outdoor space is really very spacious and well cared for. Convenient location to easily reach the airport, supermarkets and neighboring villages, in a quiet and uncrowded area. Luigi is a very helpful and kind landlord, easily available for any need. Simply perfect! We'll definitely be back

We met very nice and very open people. The place is quiet and peaceful. Very well proportioned. Very nice pool. Close to Santa Teresa. Nice little town. Beach (very nice). Nearby. Excellent. 👌 🪴😘

The house is beautiful and serene, we had a great stay with two families. Ample spaces to share, beautiful view and the beaches are close by and really stunning. The only downside was that AC is available only in the three double bedrooms, and not in the fourth smaller bedroom nor in the common areas. During very hot days this wasn't exactly the best and this wasn't very clear from the description or from the answers the host gave us when booking. Besides this detail, the house is definitely recommended!

our fourth summer vacation in this villa, and we are not planning to change anytime soon!

Lovely villa which is comfortable and very well maintained. A few minutes walk from a beach with many beautiful beaches a short drive away. We stayed in August and were turned away from some beaches if we had not booked Cala Brandinchi Lu Impostu so plan ahed and book if you want to visit these beautiful beaches.

Our stay at Anna Maria’s home, Via Mar Nero, was absolutely wonderful. She is truly a gracious host and I could not recommend it enough. We arrived late due to travel delays and she was very kind and showed great patience and waited hours for us to arrive to help us settle in. Then she returned the next morning to help even more. The house is the perfect size and the 2 bathrooms are great. Easy access to world class beaches! We also used it as a home base from which we could thoroughly explore the vast history of the region then return home to peaceful dinners in her beautiful garden. To stock up on essentials you will need before you arrive I would suggest the Conad near the airport. Great prepared food, wine, and essentials like paper products and soaps which you will need. Also be prepared to divide your trash and take it out daily which we were happy to do as recycling keeps the island looking so profoundly beautiful. I highly, highly recommend Anna Maria and her piece of paradise

Beautiful apartment, with amazing porch/balcony on the 1st floor. Incredible sunset views and really peaceful part of the town. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Thank you to Laura! Everything was wonderful

Traditional place, great for its value.

Lovely villa in amazing setting. Fabulous views. Helpful local host called Marco. Bathrooms have been updated since the photos so are better than they appear in the listing. Local amenities are walkable and bus takes you to Olbia for just €1.50. We had great weather, used the pool and the beach which is a short walk away.

This is a lovely villa, set in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The views from the veranda and especially from the roof top terrace are stunning. We also enjoyed being able to walk down to the sea.

Very Helpful host - beautiful villa and beautiful surroundings

We loved the house and its position; very close to a good choice of beautiful beaches and within a minutes walk to a restaurant/bar. Everybody is friendly here. The house has everything you need with comfy beds, lovely open terrace for outdoor dining and drinks. The path to the beach is at the bottom of the garden. There is also a daytime snack bar just before the nearest beach. Lovely clean beach with clear water and a choice of quiet water sports. Ignazia was a great host, responding very quickly and helping with suggestions and recommendations. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to the next time.

We had a wonderful week at Silvia's house. The house is super quietly located, very well equipped and Silvia was always immediately available as a hostess, sent us great excursion tips for the area and recommendations for restaurants. We were completely satisfied and would be happy to come back.

Very nice house with a terrific garden in a nice and peaceful area. Close though to excellent beaches and golf as well as San Teodoro where you find plenty of good restaurants, supermarkets and other things you might need. Barbara is a great hostess providing excellent recommendations and assistance should you bump in to any challenges. All in all we had a great stay and this certainly a place we could recommend to others.

Catia's place is absolutely incredible. From the views, to the grounds, to the artistic furnishings, it was such a pleasure to stay there. The beds are super comfortable, the pool is amazing, the hammocks are in the perfect shade... I can't recommend it highly enough! Catia is super responsive and lovely. You have total privacy at the villa. Definitely necessary to have a car!

Our stay here was wondeful - such a beautiful location, peaceful and private in a rural area but a very short drive to Orosei. It suited us really well and we spent many a night on the veranda eating and drinking local produce. Definitely one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed, it was spotless. Not only that but it was really well equipped with everything we needed for a self-catered holiday - it was like a home from home. The dipping pool is lovely and refreshing, and the surrounding grounds are fun to explore. loved the peacocks too! Thank you Luca! ❤️

Pina is a warm, open and communicative person who responded immediately and was there to help and advise us. We felt welcome from the first moment, not least when she personally welcomed us with a delicious dessert. The house is a dream, equipped with everything you need to enjoy a carefree vacation. Her husband was at the house a few times to clean the pool, but this was inconspicuous every time so it couldn't bother us, although this wasn't the case anyway. Thanks Pina

We had a lovely stay. Everything we could need. A lovely pool. The host was very responsive and friendly

Mark's house is very nice, the rooms are spacious, the kitchen is very well-equipped. The pool is large and pleasant. Mark was very responsive to each of my questions. Since the house was not occupied afterwards and our flight was in the evening, we were able to leave in the afternoon and enjoy the pool until the last moment. I would definitely recommend Mark's house.

We had a great stay here. Although one of the beds was really too short (only approx. 180 cm long) the mattress was fine so we slept well. The area is very nice and calm, there is a nice view from the terrace and the distance to the port with many restaurants was easily walkable. The only thing that really disruptes our stay was the amount of wasps. Although we used the replent candles we coudln’t sometimes get rid of them so we could not enjoy outside eating as we planned. However, all in all I can recommend this place.
