A child-friendly house with a fenced courtyard
On holiday with children, practical things matter: a closed outdoor space, somewhere to cook when you need to, a cool room for naps. Casa Rosanna offers all of this in a detached two-level house, with no neighbours on the landing.
- Fenced courtyard with gate and mesh: children play outside while you cook dinner.
- Free cot on request for babies aged 0–3.
- Air conditioning and mosquito nets for peaceful nights.
- Kitchenette and washing machine for baby food and swimsuits always ready.
- Barbecue and patio table for family dinners outdoors.
Free beach with shallow water 750 metres away
Porto Ottiolu beach is about 750 metres on foot. It is a free public beach: no entrance fee and no charge to find a spot. The shallow, clear water makes it ideal for small children. Beach umbrellas are provided, and back home the outdoor shower rinses off salt and sand before going inside.

Getting around with children, even without a car
The marina with restaurants and bars is 300–500 metres away. The regional bus stop is a few steps from the house, and a free bus links the beaches of the Budoni municipality. For short trips there are the house’s two bicycles. For excursions (Tavolara, Costa Smeralda, La Maddalena) we recommend a car.
