We stayed at Lunetta for a whole week and used it as our starting point to explore central and South Sardegna. Although there is not much to do in Mandas itself from a touristic perspective, the broader surroundings surely compensate for that. In that sense Lunetta is indeed an excellent base for a longer term visit. Barbara is extremely forthcoming with inside advice and assistance in making the necessary reservations. Together with husband Gian Luca and brother Agostino she does her outmost best to make the stay and vacation as memorable as possible. The place itself is like an oasis in the middle of the village. We stayed in the groundfloor suite with our own little terras in the beautiful internal patio garden. Breakfasts were very original in composition and professionally served in the impeccable breakfast room. All in all, we could not have landed better for our first exploratory visit of this wonderfull island.

“Da non perdere. Worth a trip just to stay here. It's wonderful.”

Posto davvero bellissimo e accogliente. Barbara e suo fratello ti fanno sentire come un ospite veramente gradita. If you're anywhere near south-central Sardina, plan a stopover here. It's simply lovely. The hosts make you feel like a very welcome and honored guest.

We stayed here for 3 nights in April. Our hosts, Barbara and her brother Agostino were so welcoming and helpful! Our room was large and the bed very comfortable while it was a little cool at night the heating worked very well in the room. The bathroom was also lg with tub and shower with plenty of hot water. We also had a small private deck outside our door in their courtyard with two chairs which we enjoyed a lot. Mandes is a cute small city and easy to walk around. Breakfast was amazing with plenty of delicious things to eat. Barbara and her brother had several good recommendations on where to eat in Mandes. My husband and I both highly recommend Antica Locanda Lunetta for your stay in central Sardinia!

“Quaint”

We decided to stay here one night due to the convenient location to the Su Nuraxi Nuraghe archaeological sight. The B&B is located down a tiny alleyway where you can only drop off your luggage. Parking is in the main lot outside the police station a few blocks away. We could not find a check-in time on our booking. When we arrived just before 3pm no one answered the buzzer on the door or on WhatsApp message. The contact phone number on the door was illegible so we had to try and find a number on our booking. We were outside the property for about 15 minutes before the owner let us in. The property is a charming old coaching inn which has a very pretty internal courtyard garden. We booked a double room which was located upstairs and overlooked the garden. The room was nice although a little dark. The air-conditioning worked well and there was a kettle and tea in the room (no coffee). The shower in the bathroom was extremely small and difficult to move around in which could be an issue for some people. There is an honesty bar with self-serve wine and a few bottled drinks which we weren’t familiar with (one appeared to be a shandy) and a meat and cheese platter can be ordered for €15. Mandas is not an attractive town. There is no centre and it is tricky to walk around due to the traffic and lack of footpaths. There are a couple of a bars at the top of the town and a small supermarket. We would recommend Osteria La Forchetta restaurant which was really good for dinner. The hosts and the property are very nice but we felt that the B&B was expensive at €167 for a standard room at this time of year.
