Little gem of a place in perfect location to explore south Sardinia
Francesca's house is very charming, spacious and had everything we needed. Even though it is in the middle of a village, it is quiet at night and the private garden gives it a very rural feel. The location is great to explore the beaches around Chia, Sant'Antioco or the area around Iglesias. Francesca is a lovely host and made us feel very welcome.

Seht schönes, altes Haus
Ein sehr restauriertes altes Haus mit einer netten und stets hilfsbereiten Vermieterin, die auf dem selben Grundstück im Nachbarhaus wohnt. An Ausstattung ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Zwar liegt es an einer viel befahrenen Straße, aber nachts ist wenig Verkehr, so dass die Straße kaum stört. Diese Unterkunft ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert. Es hat uns gut gefallen dort.

Excellent séjour chez Francesca
Nous avons particulièrement apprécié notre séjour à Masainas. Francesca nous a très bien accueilli et nous a donné de très bons conseils. Nous avons bien profité de la maison et sa terrasse. La région est magnifique et les contacts avec les habitants du village ont été très agréables. Tout y était pour passer de superbes vacances !

Maison confortable et bien située pour visiter le sud
2 salles de bain, climatisation, maison joliment décorée. Maison très bien située pour visiter tout le sud de l'île, accueil très gentil et discret de Francesca. Seul bémol le bruit de la route, mais nous voulions une maison de ville donc pas de surprise.

Très belle maison !
Maison magnifique avec bcp de charme. Très propre. Très joli jardin. La propriétaire est adorable et vous aide à découvrir une très belle région. Le gîte est idéalement situé pour découvrir le sud ouest delà Sardaigne. Seul bémol : il est situé en bord de route très passante.

The House is a dream, Francesca was super friendly and welcoming. The area is absolutely georgeous. You can choose between several wonderful beaches, make nice day trips and get the best pizza just around the corner. The house is right beside the road, so you do hear the life outside, but that didn't bother us too much. In short: we highly recommend a stay in La Casa Manca, but be aware: you might not want to go back.

Liebevoll saniertes altes Haus
Wir haben uns in dem farbenfrohen Haus sehr wohl gefühlt und hatten eine tolle Zeit. Alles war sehr sauber und gut vorbereitet. Der Supermarkt gleich um die Ecke - italienisch familär. In den Liegestühlen auf der Terrasse hinter dem Haus kann man es sich gut gehen lassen. Francisco ist super hilfsbereit und nett.

Historisches Haus mit schönem Garten/ Innenhof
Wir haben die Woche in dem wunderschönen Haus und Garten sehr genossen. Francesca ist eine sympathische, angenehme und unkomplizierte Gastgeberin, die im Nachbarhaus wohnt und dadurch rasch vor Ort ist. Besonders auf der Terrasse im Innenhof mit Sonnensegel haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wenn man keine Lust hat zu kochen, gibt es leckere Pizza und Gelati gleich um die Ecke. An der Region hat uns gefallen, dass sie nicht so touristisch ist, man feine Obst- und Gemüsestände an der Strasse findet und viele wunderschöne Strände und nette Städtchen erkunden kann. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert - wir hoffen, dass es nicht unser letzter Aufenthalt in Masainas gewesen ist. Mille grazie, Francesca!

Entschleunigung pur
Wir haben die Zeit in Francescas liebevoll und mit viel Geschmack eingerichteten Haus sehr genossen. Insbesondere hat uns der wunderschöne Garten gefallen, in dem wir morgens gefrühstückt haben und abends beim Zirpen der Grillen regelmäßig noch ein Glas hervorragenden sardischen Wein getrunken haben. Obwohl das Haus direkt an der Dorfstraße liegt, schläft man angenehm ruhig. Durch die in allen Zimmern vorhandene Aircondition wurde es auch niemals zu heiß. Masainas liegt sehr gut, um von dort aus die schönen Strände des Südens zu besuchen (unser Lieblingssrand war Su Giudeu bei Chia). Aber auch Ausflüge ins Umland und vor allem nach Cagliari sind zu empfehlen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! Grazie ancora Francesca!

Casa con giardino e relax
Casa confortevole e accogliente, ristrutturata di recente, offre spazi comodi e ben distribuiti. Delizioso l’angolo giardino attrezzato circondato da piante di rosmarino. La proprietaria Francesca è gentilissima e pronta a dare un sacco di informazioni utili. Il paese è piccolissimo ma permette di vivere una vacanza fuori dallo stress delle solite località balneari. Consigliatissimo. P.s.: ottima la pizza da asporto di fronte casa.

Bella vacanza nel sud ovest della Sardegna
La Casa Manca è molto comoda per vedere tutto il sud ovest della Sardegna. Molto vicine le spiagge di Is Salinas, Porto Pino, la spiaggia delle dune bianche, Porto Tramatzu l'Isola di Sant'Antioco e l'isola di San Pietro. La casa è sulla strada principale di Masainas, l'edificio è stato interamente ristrutturato dalla proprietaria che lo ha arredato in modo molto piacevole con un richiamo allo stile sardo tradizionale. Molto comode le due camere e i due bagni al primo piano. Bellissimo il patio interno che è condiviso con l'altro appartamento e ha un tavolino e un angolo ombreggiato da una tensostruttura molto bello la sera quando la temperatura si abbassa. Complice il forte caldo di quest'anno (2017), abbiamo sofferto un po' il caldo la notte per la mancanza del climatizzatore, ci sono dei ventilatori da parete che hanno aiutato, ma purtroppo senza riuscire ad abbassare la temperatura. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati molto bene, la consiglierei anche in periodo da giugno ai primi di luglio oppure a settembre con una temperatura più accettabile.

Geschmackvolles Feriendomizil
Es handelt sich hierbei um ein liebe- und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Domizil. Wir waren zu viert und hatten reichlich Platz und Raum. Die Ausstattung von Küche und Geschirr war ausreichend hätte aber auch gerne mehr (Geschirr, Besteck, .. ) sein dürfen. Unsere Kinder haben Wifi /Wlan vermisst, aber so haben wir abends Gesellschaftsspiele gespielt und eine wertvolle Zeit miteinander verbracht. Das Haus befindet sich an der Ortsdurchgangsstraße, welche je nach Tageszeit mal mehr und mal weniger stark frequentiert ist. Leider sind die Schlafräume zur Straße hin ausgerichtet. Wir als Landbewohner sind Straßenlärm in dieser Dimension nicht gewöhnt und hatten unsere Probleme damit; Stadtmenschen stört dies vermutlich weniger. Wir haben uns gerne auf der nett gestalteten Terasse aufgehalten. Im Ort ist alles an Geschäften vorhanden um sich gut zu versorgen. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war nett und unkompliziert.

Una vacanza fantastica nella Sardegna più vera.
Ho soggiornato per quindici giorni nell' appartamento Casa Azzurra e tutto è andato meravigliosamente bene. La casa è finemente ristrutturata con un fantastico spazio esterno immerso negli aromi mediterranei per colazioni baciate dal sole e cene a lume di luna. Tutto molto funzionale x il soggiorno, la camera matrimoniale ampia con armadio spazioso, cameretta con due letti singoli e stanza guardaroba, due bagni di cui uno molto ampio con finestra. Posto auto nella corte ma anche sulla via non abbiamo mai avuto problemi di parcheggio. La proprietaria Francesca sempre molto disponibile al nostro arrivo ci ha fatto trovare una cartina della zona con i punti di maggiore interesse e devo dire che la posizione è fantastica per la vicinanza dell' appartamento a luoghi e spiagge meravigliose.
