Residence Bouganvillage

If you’re thinking of going with a young family, this may not be for you. Too many rules poolside particulary the quiet time between 1-4pm. If you book through TUI, it’s quite likely that you’ll end up with one of the poorer villas. There are two types of villa in the main part of the village - one with balcony and stunning views and one with a porch with no view. We had the latter at the end of the property next to the generator looking onto the road, so this took the shine off our holiday. We expected two rooms with our booking, but only got one so the kids had to sleep in the kitchen. Many other families we talked to had a similar arrangement. Also be mindful of the hidden costs and poor wifi. On arrival you will be charged ~£300 for electricity, water, cleaning. We were informed of this by TUI two weeks before the holiday (we booked in January) but they have agreed to refund this additional cost. When you add this to the what was originally paid however, an airbnb/villa rental would have better idea. The lack of connectivity was frustrating. Works in the communal area but not in the villas.. The village is south of the costa smeralda and away from the tourist areas. It is located in a residential area on the outskirts of Budoni and a car is a must because the local store and restaurent (if you want to eat out) is a 20min walk, with the beach (Duboni) being at least 40 mins.. The village is clean, well kept and very peaceful. The view from the pool/restaurent overlooking the adjacent hillside is stunning. Overall, our accomodation was a downer and my review would have been lower but for the communal area and in particular, the restaurent and lovely hosts Gianni & Ester. Lovely people, welcoming hosts serving great resonably priced food.
