Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Porto Istana

Great vacation home. We had a great week with 4 adults and 4 children. The house is superbly equipped and, despite the proximity to the airport, is rural but with good connections in all directions.

This place is a little slice of heaven- if you are even considering booking, this is your sign to just do it! The olive grove, the hammock…it’s honestly a delight.

Claudia End Gregor's place was lovely. It was very homely and spotlessly clean and very peaceful, probably down to the time of year that we visited. The little things like various condiments and containers to use to go to the beach were very handy. We ate in every evening, due to the local produce being so fresh and nice and to just soak up the sunsets which were beautiful. Great place thank you

This place is a true gem. Even more beautiful than the pictures. The terrace feels like it’s on top of the sea! Can’t recommend it enough.

We had a fantastic stay at Michela’s place! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The location was great, and Michela was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We especially appreciated the cozy garden, the local guide with great recommendations and a smooth check in process. It really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area! Thanks again for everything!

Location was amazing! We could walk a little path to the beach from behind the property. Our children loved playing soccer in the backyard and husband enjoyed the bbq grill. The smell of the jasmine was so heavenly! We highly recommend for a relaxing stay!

Nice although small apartment, beautiful terrace. Given the location, you need the car to move around. Romano and Marina were prompt at every request. Recommended!

We booked this stay for 3 nights. On arrival our host greeted us and provided a thorough tour/induction. Very friendly and couldn’t fault. Before arriving they provided clear instructions on how to arrive at the destination and provided excellent communication throughout. The home was spotless and they provided plenty of amenities and nice touches to make our stay enjoyable. The detail and care they provided was 10/10. If we had any questions we would hear back from them asap. The views outside were unreal. I would recommend you have a car to access this Airbnb as it’s high up and to travel the island its easier to drive which luckily we did otherwise taxi’s would be very expensive. The home is situated down some steps and is the bottom half of there home which is completely separated and the hosts live above in the main home but it doesn’t feel like you are disturbed or anything at all. They have local shops and great restaurants 5 mins away. Thank you for everything. 10/10.

We had a wonderful week in a beautiful location and enjoyed all the amenities that the apartment offered. Not being in a main resort suited our needs perfectly. We were very pleased with Simone’s support throughout our stay.

We had such a lovely stay at Dora’s place! The apartment was in a great location , close to many beautiful beaches , and it was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Check-in was smooth, and we really appreciated having access to the kitchen during our stay. Dora was absolutely wonderful always friendly, responsive, and full of great recommendations. She helped us arrange a dinner at a local restaurant for my friend’s birthday and even made sure they could bring out a cake and sing happy birthday, which was such a special touch. She was also very flexible with check-in and check-out, and her communication throughout was excellent. We felt really well looked after and would absolutely recommend staying here. Thank you, Dora!

As described. Great local recommendations.

Beautiful view, great home, nice location! It had it all! Thanks for letting us stay at your home!

We loved our stay with Jessica and Allesandro. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. Everything we (couple with a baby) needed was there, including baby chair and bed). We especially loved the large outdoor area, with plenty of space to eat and relax. The beach is only 5 minutes walking distance (and several other beaches nearby) and the center is approx 10 minute by foot. Jessica is an amazing host. She provided us very good suggestions for beaches and restaurants and replied quickly to our questions. We will definitely recommend this place and will come back when we visit again.

Had a great time! The distance to the beautiful beach was only six minutes on foot. The beds are super comfortable. The view from the balcony is a dream. Images cannot do justice. Beautiful place to relax! We will be happy to come back!

Very quiet place, right on the beach, in a private residence. We appreciate the beautiful beach and the equipment of the house. The children enjoyed the paddleboard and the youngest child the sand toys. Inside the house there is also everything you need. The house is smaller and you can see that the interior is older, but we liked it there and we found everything we needed including a washing machine, coffee maker, plenty of towels and everything for cooking. We also appreciate the tennis court a short distance from the house. The house is in a quiet area and the only disadvantage is that you can't walk to the shop and restaurants, but we knew that. The beach and the peace are worth it. In our period (end of October) almost everything is closed. The hosts are very nice and always helpful and we would love to come back someday.

Great location. Everything’s worked very well.

We had a great stay at Salvatore’s place he was very responsive and helpful. Lots of nice beaches nearby.

The host is so friendly and very responsive. He helped make our stay very smooth and enjoyable. The apartment is as described and pictured and has been meticulously renovated and has all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable and homely. We really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and garden area for dining. The location was optimal to access a lovely beach via a short walk or a shuttle service. There is also access to the resort facilities including a pool and a restaurant onsite. The local town which is a short 2 min drive has a supermarket, bakery, cafe, gelateria and a few restaurants. The airport is a short 15 min car ride and the main town of Olbia is close by too. We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns and coastline on the west and northern coast of the island. We look forward to returning very soon !

Our stay in Pittulongu was super great, Leonardo is very friendly and accommodating! The surroundings are very nice, everything is close by and especially the 3 beaches near the apartment are great! Highly recommended.

Spacious, spotless, and ideal for a longer stay. The apartment has two air conditioners (living room and bedroom), a fully equipped kitchen with plenty of dishes – we cooked every day. The highlight was the large terrace with an amazing sea view, where we spent most of our time. Located in a quiet natural setting, yet just a 20-minute drive from Olbia Airport. Grocery store, café, and beach are all within a 5–10 minute walk. Parking is right next to the terrace – super convenient. A beach umbrella was provided and very useful. Check-in was smooth and easy. Marina was friendly and helpful, letting us arrive early and giving great local tips, including a scenic drive through Gallura. We truly appreciated the welcome treats in the fridge! Highly recommended – we would happily stay here again.

Norma’s place was sparkling clean, a few meters from the beach and from the piazzetta. The apartment we were looking for for our holidays in Porto San Paolo. I can only recommend!

Katia's home is beautiful and she is a lovely and helpful host. Communication was top notch with helpful recommendations and directions to her place. The home was spotless, peaceful, and had every item we needed, and more! It was our wedding anniversary and Katia welcomed us with a delicious platter or fruit and a bottle of champagne! The private beach was a spot of serenity, especially peaceful waters in the morning so we could swim and snorkel. Lots of great local restaurants and beaches nearby. A truly wonderful stay, thank you Katia!

Excellent and very well equipped apartment with a nice veranda and garden (private). Simona kindly guided us and explained everything. Very well equipped kitchen. Sofa bed sleeps well. Beach, harbor and village within walking distance. Also other nice places nearby. In short, an excellent place to have a pleasant stay!

We enjoyed it very much. The apartment has a top location with a great view and a very short walk to the beach. The apartment is very well equipped, even in the kitchen it has everything you need and also in large numbers. The roof terrace has a great view and offers plenty of space. We spent a lot of time there. The community pool is also beautifully landscaped and was often used by us.
