Alghero, a prestigious independent ancient home with pool

Alghero, in a wonderful setting, completely independent villa.
Villa Turchese, of an ancient and reassuring beauty, ideal for 8 people on two floors with air conditioning in all bedrooms.
There are places in the world that give you the feeling of having a more colour-sensitive view. Ancient places that make us make peace with ourselves. Villa Turchese, in Alghero, is one of these places. A magical villa. An ancient villa, which as such must be chosen, loved and respected.


The tranquillity that this place will give you is unique. The town of Alghero is very close, less than 1 km away, yet it seems so far away that you can enjoy the calm within the walls of the garden among the mulberry trees.

From the terrace of the villa the view of the sunset over the sea will be marvellous.

Villa Turchese is a cosy old farmhouse dating back to the seventeenth century, almost in the centre of Alghero, recently restored with taste and care, preserving the old architectural features and the original materials, such as the beautiful terracotta and wooden floors. The villa is located in a green setting on the outskirts of Alghero, only 2 km away from the sea and the centre. All services can be reached on foot in 5 minutes or by bicycle.

Villa Turchese, of an ancient and reassuring beauty, completely independent, is ideal for 8 people, and consists of two floors divided as follows:

Patio: with access to the courtyard with lawn, swimming pool for the exclusive use of guests, porch, outdoor furniture, shower, barbecue.

Ground floor living area: living room with fireplace, lounge and garden view, kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, bathroom with shower and television with HDMI.

First floor sleeping area: 4 double bedrooms with air conditioning, 2 bathrooms.

The furnishings are comfortable, in rustic style. The house is located in a quiet position on the outskirts of the characteristic town of Alghero, which is 2 km away.

Its location within a fully fenced property offers the necessary privacy within the flowering garden adorned with flowering plants and fruit trees, creepers and flowers, where you can relax in the shade of the trees and in the cool of the private pool.

The location is ideal for visiting and discovering the beauties of Sardinia and the many cities of art in the north of the island. Distances: Alghero 2 km, Airport 14 km, Portotorres 32 km, Speranza beach 5 km.

The villa is not shared with anyone, therefore the entire property is available to guests including, outdoor area (lawn) with furniture and swimming pool with outdoor shower (cold water), porch equipped for outdoor dining, barbecue.

Lovely setting, close to Alghero
We have just returned from a very pleasant stay in Villa Turchese. The property is spacious and comfortable but the real beauty of the place is it's spacious grounds, well maintained pool and panoramic views from the roof. Gennaro the owner could not have been more helpful. We did encounter an electrical fault with the dishwasher and a problem with sediment in the water, but Gennaro was immediately available to help us, though I suspect a property of this age requires on-going maintenance. As there is no air conditioning at the property, I would suggest a visit out of season would be more comfortable and perhaps a few extra fans would have helped keep us cool. It was 35 degrees most days during our stay! Gennaro's Agent, Mercedes was incredibly helpful to us and organised our car hire which we had not arranged in advance. She had lots of tips and advice on places to visit, restaurants and activities and it was reassuring to know we could contact her at any time. All in all, a very enjoyable holiday!

A great holiday spoit.
This is a beautiful property, set in spacious grounds with everything you need for a perfect holiday. Close to the Old Town, but far enough away not to be affected by traffic noise etc. As our flight was not until 22.55, the owner allowed us to stay well beyond the normal 10.30 departure time. The only down side, which somewhat spoiled our holiday , was being charged 230 euros for electricity. The advertisement says, "use of pool 50 euros", but apparently, this is only for keeping the pool clean, something I would expect as the norm. You then have to pay for the electricity which the pool-pump etc uses! In addition, there are security lights which come on and stay on through the night adding to the costs. We have stayed in many villas around the world, including Alghero, and have never before suffered this charge. The owner does not show you the meter on arrival, just presents you with a bill for the electricity he says you have used. Unfortunately, the owner takes a 300 euro deposit on arrival, which is then used to pay for the electricity, so you have no choice but to pay, as he has your money. As I said before, this spoilt what should have been a really great holiday. So come on Genarro, get your act together and stop leaving guests with the feeling that they have been ripped off.

Il prato verde esiste solo nel Galles....
Casale vecchio e trascurato , prato verde inesistente , piscina sporca , doccia esterna rotta ,arredi interni ed esterni improponibili , camera con letti singoli recuperata da qualche mercatino dell’usato....camere con letto matrimoniale nel contesto anche carine ma ,caldissime !!!impossibile dormire . Ventilatori forniti ,ma vecchi rumorosi e pieni di polvere.(a nostre spese abbiamo preferito prenderli nuovi ) Bagni no comment . Lapide vicino al portone d’ingresso . Proposta e foto ingannevoli . Sconsigliatissima !!! P.s il titolo della recensione è la risposta che ci e stata data dal proprietario nel momento in cui gli abbiamo chiesto il perché del prato secco . Recensione sottoscritta all’unanimità da tutti gli ospiti della casa .

Super Aufenthalt
Es handelt sich bei dem Haus um ein altes Bauernhaus mit einem rießigen Garten und einem großen, sauberen Pool! Außerdem gibt es eine Dachterasse von der aus man einen schönen Sonnenuntergang erleben kann! Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hat uns sogar erlaubt erst Abends auszuchecken da sich die Zeiten unserer Fähre geändert hätten, und das ganze ohne Aufpreis

Just stunning
The Villa was just beyond all our expectations, the history of Villa Turchese and the people whom have lived there is very impressive. The rooms, the old furnishings, the stunning gardens which are so well looked after and the very impressive infinity pool. This is by far the best place to stay when visiting Alghero. This house is old and need respect, but living there, also with some small problem, has been a blessing for all of us. The owner is very friendly and always available if there are any questions that you may have, he goes out her way to make you feel very welcome, so thank you so much Gennaro and I can not wait to book with you again in the future.

Traumhaus mit Pool startet als Trauma-Haus: ungenügend gewartet und unbegründbare Nachforderung.
6 Mte vor Bezug haben wir das Haus für bis zu 8 Personen verbindlich gemietet. Alle Rechnungen haben wir prompt über die einzige Zahlungsmöglichkeit (per cc) beglichen. 2 Mte vor Ferienbeginn wuchs unsere Ferien-WG von 6 auf 7 Pers. Unsere Info (email) an den lokalen Vermittler blieb unbeantwortet. Bei der Vereinbarung zur Schlüsselübergabe orientierte man uns, dass diese zusätzliche Person einen hohen Tagessatz zu bezahlen hätte und wir ausserdem plus 3% bar auf den Gesamtpreis zahlen müssen, da wir mit cc bezahlt hätten. Letzteres hat FEWO für uns geregelt, Ersteres indessen nicht. Wir sollten einmal hingehen und einfach nichts bezahlen, der Vertrag sei eindeutig. Schwierig, wenn man vor Ort von einem Besitzer bedrängt wird, der keine zusätzliche 7. Person akzeptiert, es sei denn wir bezahlen einen hohen Betrag (Anm.: In Bewertungen und Reaktionen auf Bewertungen dürfen ua die folgenden Informationen nicht angegeben werden: der tatsächliche Preis, den der Urlauber an den Vermieter gezahlt hat)! Falls wir uns weigern melde er die "illegale Person" der Polizei. Wir konnten den geforderten Betrag auf einen Drittel handeln. Bettwäsche selbstredend nicht inbegriffen. Wir teilten uns die Bettlaken und schliefen so gut es ging in miserablen Betten. Das Haus ist in einem erbärmlichen Zustand, eine Türe fiel uns aus den Angeln, ein Schlagladen hängt nur noch an einer kleinen Schraube, das Bidet im ersten Stock wird von Abwasser geflutet und Warmwasser gibt es im Obergeschoss (2 Badezimmer) nicht. Das Eingangstor mit elektrischem Türöffner funktionierte 5 Tage, dann blieb es, mit einem Seil fixiert, Tag und Nacht offen. Wir wurden im Vorfeld von FEWO höflich und verständig betreut, leider von 4 verschiedenen freundlichen Mitarbeiterinnen. Genützt hat das wenig, FEWO war nur zum Teil eine Hilfe: wird wurden mit dem Tip, erst einmal hin zu fahren und dann zu schauen, im Stich gelassen. Andere Länder, andere Sitten, dafür fährt man ja schliesslich in die Ferien. Es hat aber seine Grenzen und was wir mit dem Vermieter erlebten entbehrt jeder Kritik und ist für den bezahlten Mietpreis befremdend. FEWO spielte eine zweifelhalfte Rolle: Ein rund-um-die-Uhr Feedback Service nützt nur dann etwas, wenn man bei der Lösung solcher Probleme konkrete Hilfe erhält und nicht nur ein dargebotenes Ohr! Positiv: sehr schöner Pool, täglich vom Besitzer gereinigt. Tolles Haus, ungenügende Wartung. Alghero ist ein charmanter Ferienort auf Sardinien. Traumhafte Buchten!

Exceptional home with a touch of antique
Exceptional home with a touch of antique. Beautiful garden and swimming pool. Very well equiped, perfect for a family vacation. The garden is beautiful and perfect for outdoor dinners and lazy hangouts. The location is ideal, close to beautiful beaches but also in the quiet area for a relaxing holiday. Gennaro and Bonaria were very charming hosts, very sweet and always available to answer questions and advise us. We will surely stay there again !

Mooi huis, iets ouderwetse inrichting
Mooi huis, iets ouderwetse inrichting maar alles aanwezig. Aardige, behulpzame eigenaar. Mooi schoon zwembad. Alghero is een mooie, gezellige stad vooral s avonds. Genoeg mooie strandjes in de buurt. Het was heel warm (42 graden) dan blijft het huis niet echt koel.

Das Haus und das Grundstück sind wirklich sehr schön
Das alte Bauernhaus hat auf jeden Fall Charme und die Einrichtung passt perfekt dazu. Leider fällt die neue Küchenzeile, die grundsätzlich recht schön ist, etwas aus dem Rahmen, sie ist zu modern. Das Grundstück und der Garten sind sehr schön, vor allem der Pool hat uns hier überzeugt. Er wurde jeden Tag vom Besitzer früh morgens gereinigt, meistens haben wir davon nichts mitbekommen. Vom Dach aus hat man einen wunderschönen Blick in alle Richtungen. Auch die Lage, etwas außerhalb des Stadtzentrums, ist gut. Sehr ruhig und trotzdem ist man mit dem Auto schnell in Alghero Stadt und bei den umliegenden Supermärkten. Etwas schade und ärgerlich war, dass der Besitzer die letzten 3 Tage selbst unterwegs war (hatte er uns gesagt) und dann ohne Bescheid zu sagen die Poolbeleuchtung und das WLAN ausgeschaltet hatte. Ansonsten waren der Vermieter und seine Frau sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten 2-3 mal Fragen und er ist jedesmal vorbei gekommen und hat sich drum gekümmert. Was man auf jeden Fall bedenken sollte ist, dass man mit 100€ Stromabschlagszahlung pro Woche vermutlich nicht hinkommen wird. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene, 1 Kind und 1 Baby und mussten noch 23€ für 9 Tage nachzahlen, obwohl wir wirklich nicht viel Strom gebraucht haben. Ansonsten ist das Objekt auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen!
