Frequently asked questions
The crucial question: How expensive is Sardinia?
There are many rumors. Possibly the Costa Smeralda is to blaim for that. There it is true that a holiday home can cost € 30,000 (and more!) for just a week. Anyway, it is entirely different in the "normal" Sardinia. Our cottages are available from 40 € per day! Complete for 4 people!
Travelers, who book in Sardafit country, will also perceive the cost of living as pleasant. They are - not typical for beach resorts - not much different than at home in England (at the Sardinian discounter Eurospin you save even more money).
Conclusion:
Our beach resorts are much cheaper than comparable beach resorts in England and elsewhere.
Money saving tips: Our guests (and only these) may receive a lunch menu for just 12 € in Budoni. This consists of 3 courses, wine and water (The offer applies till 7:30 PM. The restaurant is easily accessible from the beach by foot).

Are pets welcome?
In most vacation homes pets are allowed. These houses you can recognize by the icon with a dog. Checks on entry and exit are extremely rare. If there is a check: a vaccination certificate with rabies vaccination and the identity chip is suffice. However, at large beaches in Italy are almost everywhere no dogs are allowed. The smaller beaches are not subject to these rules and are a true paradise for dogs.
