Camping Bella Sardinia

This is a very efficient structured operated campsite. Check-in is well organised and regimented with you shown to specific good sized pitch in a beautiful well shaded pine forest. It is mixture of touring pitches, seasonal and various cabins. Showers were excellent. The restaurant (full menu and take out pizza ) looked popular and good. Supermarket shop was excellent- good selection and fair prices. The hire shop was magnificent- everything from kettles to bikes. Main bar was pleasant in the shade in the forest, but excellent one on beach with fabulous views. All the games - table tennis, boules and crazy golf (agree with previous review needs a bit of maintenance) were great. Highlight of campsite was excellent sandy beach for miles with lovely gentle slope into water. Disappointed though that the campsite charged campers extra if you wanted sunbeds and umbrella- E7 after 14 hours. Not clearly advertised anywhere or that we could see on booking/website. I had a bit of disagreement with Reception over the identification tag they insisted on you wearing ‘for security’. I prefer to wear these tag things on my ankle as at bedtime when on my wrist I scratch my face with them and it disturbs my sleep. Gracious, you would have thought I was asking to stay free of charge. There was just no compromise initially. I will give the Reception lady credit for enforcing the rules so strictly - she was good and could have a promising career in the enforcement services. It was a bit unpleasant though - I was not saying I would not wear it - they wouldn’t let me put it on myself either - and kept reiterating that I knew when I booked I had to wear it as it was a condition of booking. I accept that but having checked what we were sent it does not stipulate it has to be worn on my wrist. I feel they were very harsh, and it’s left an unpleasant memory of the place. Also, be aware if you book online on their website to stay within 30 days of booking, then amend it they will still charge you the original booking. Whereas if you just arrive on spec and say you are staying 4 nights but leave after 3, you only get charged for the 3. We had booked online 5 nights, but had to leave a night early as our ferry crossing charged. We had not paid in full in advance (except a deposit) but they still refused to only charge us for the 4 nights we stayed and insisted we paid the 5 nights booked. Again, we felt harsh. We understand they are a business but they could have been a little more compassionate.

Did not meet the expectations described on there advert. Absolutely no Internet or WiFi. We needed to book something ,took 3 hours trying to get enough signal. Even inside the building we could not get their WiFi which was cutting out and when working ridiculous slow.

It is a very peaceful place and we were in the middle of nature as the cabins are nestled in a pine forest, it smells lovely. The pool is nice and big and has a fun slide for the children, the beach is just a few minutes walk away from the pool and is really nice, the beach bar is good too. The restaurant by the cabins is really great, staff are lovely and food was delicious and varied. Take away pizza was also an option which was nice handy. The shop was good, reasonably priced and had everything you might need although it is only open a couple of hours in the morning and again in the evening so you had to be organised and check your watch. The bike hire was fab and we enjoyed the tennis court too. The crazy golf needs a bit of TLC though. The only negatives were... The swimming hats, you had to wear one to enter the pool which is very bizarre for a summer holiday - no one wants photos in these haha. Also the lifeguard at the pool, he was only there occasionally but he took the fun out of EVERYTHING e/g no jumping in, no splashing, no balls, no inflatables, no pushing each other in - his whistle was constantly being blown at some poor child every 3 seconds. The days the lifeguard wasn't there were much preferred and welcomed. The only other negative (or some may see as a positive) is you do really need a car to stay here as it is literally in the middle of nowhere, you can not wander along the coast to a local town/bar/restaurant etc there is nothing near by at all. Luckily we did have a car for the two weeks so had some lovely days out, there is alot to do and see it is just a 30 min to 2 hour drive away to see them.
