Il Girasole B&B con parcheggio in centro a Cagliari - Bed and breakfast Cagliari

We stayed for one night on Friday. We received a warm welcome from Luca who was a really warm and accommodating guy. He let us leave our luggage after check-out and gave us lots of restaurant recommendations. The B&B is in a great location, spitting distance from some lovely restaurants. The room is dimly lit and the place is on the first floor without a lift. The bed was comfy and the decor was relaxing. The room was a little noisy, but given the city centre location that was to be expected. It was nice to have a balcony. Luca asked if we preferred sweet or savoury for breakfast and a delicious array of items was left on a trolley outside our room so we could have breakfast in bed which was lovely. The breakfast included bread and jams, yogurt, juice, cake and tea/ coffee. ||The only reason I did not score this a 5 is because the shower was not great (no real water pressure).||Finally the place is great value. We paid EUR 70 for a city centre location on a Friday night- great.||Grazie Mille Luca!

It started with an email to Luca (the owner) to request if there was a room available in June. He replied with an amazing five page email with all the information about Cagliari and the area you could imagine. So friendly and kind, we knew immediately this would have to be the place to stay!||We decided to stay for 10 days and Luca even picked us up from the airport. When we were driving to the B&B Luca explained what we were driving past and gave as much info as possible. When getting in the B&B the place is beautifully decorated and our room (the blue room) had everything you can wish for; even a drying rack on the balcony, a hairdryer and so on. ||Breakfast everyday was a feast! Luca surprised us everyday with fresh local cheeses and meats, pastries, homemade yoghurt and jams and amazing local bread. Also great coffee! His wife even made her signature (and huge!) croissants, which were out of this world! ||The room was very good, the bed was nice, it has airconditioning and was very nicely decorations with African influences. ||Luca might be the best part of the B&B, his personality, so open and kind. He really wants to do everything he can to make this the best stay for you. We would talk everyday with him during breakfast about what we could do in the city (or outside) and he has the best tips where to go and when. He even drove us to a market near his own home, we would never had found this place if it wasn't for him!||This trip to Cagliari was all we could ever wish for, especially due to Luca's efforts!

We stayed in the Blue Sky Room - very comfortable, spacious and clean. The whole flat has its own a little bit african style. Luca, the host, is outgoing person, he is the source of useful information for the tourists who would like to feel Sardinia. What is more Luca serves delicious italian breakfast on a terrace - everything is fresh and tasty - especially coffee with home made croissants ;) The flat is located in the centre of Marina - less than 5 min walk from trattorias and 10min from bus stop.

We went to Luca and his B&B to celebrate our 10 years of marriage. The B&B was fabulous. Luca is very friendly, knows where to go, helps with finding the right places, speaks excellent English, and for sure knows how to make an excellent breakfast. The rooms are nice, clean and well-equipped. The B&B is situated very nicely in the city center, while the surrounding is still quiet during nights. The booking was easy: Luce responds fast to emails, answering all emails clearly. This is one of the nicest B&B I've been to, if not the nicest.

Imagine staying in a room glowing with warm ochres and reds on the walls and tall French doors that open onto a balcony overlooking a street vibrating with life. Gauzy curtains gently blowing in and out are oddly soothing to watch. This is the Bed & Breakfast " Il Girasole" located in a l7th century building in Cagliari, the capitol of Sardinia. You couldn't be in a better location for exploring this exotic and fascinating pre-Roman city where once fierce pirates and Phoenician sailors roamed. Il Girasole is in the Marina District near the port, but within easy and pleasant walking distance to everything you would want to see. The real jewel of Il Girasole, however, is its owner Luca Mura. Not only is he happy to share his knowledge of Sardinia with you - it's history and traditions - but he can also tell you what time the bus leaves for the beach and where best to catch it, what sites to see and which ones to skip, what the weather will be that day, where to buy a hairdryer, or what is the best time to visit the San Benedetto Fish Market. His breakfasts are delicious and made with fresh, local products. There will always be some traditional Sardinian dish to try that has been made by either Luca or his wife Stephannia. Like airy chocolate cakes, focaccia hot out of the oven, or warm croissants waiting to be filled with one of his homemade jams using fruit from his family's farm. Local cheeses, salamis, or even puffy pan-fried pastries called "Sebadas" which are filled with a delicious sweet cheese and grated lemon peel will be on your breakfast table as well. In all my 60 years of travelling I have never met a more generous or helpful host. Unasked, Luca picked us up at the airport when we arrived from Milan. On another day, he drove us to a little known, at least to outsiders, site from which we could see all of Cagliari, from sea to sea. At Il Girasole you will find comfort, warmth, generosity, delicious breakfasts and the perfect location from which to explore the southern portion of Sardinia. (And, did I mention that Il Girasole is very reasonably priced as well?)

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely B&B in the heart of Marina, a neighbourhood of Cagliari that is the perfect place to stay if you love to go out for dinner or drinks. The host of the B&B is super friendly, very helpfull and treats you as his own family. The room was very clean and modern and we enjoyed our lovely stay very much!

On immediate entrance to Lucca's B & B there was supreme hospitality and friendship. He always called by my name, that itself is a luxury in this modern world!! The room was as it says on the tin. Low lighting, a pleasant ambiance to the whole place. Balcony would be a choice next time, but not important. A kitchen diner where breakfast is served by Lucca. His wife and he also make scrumptious food for the morning. Fresh fruit and cheeses to delight taste buds for the day. The kitchen can be used for own lunches or dinner. Although the restaurants and bars cater for all tastes and great pastas and pizzas and salads abound everywhere. OUTSIDE.We were able to have vegetarian food by asking the waiters what they could put into the salads etc to make them tasty...they certainly did that!!

Luka is a pure legend of host! very kind and helpfull anytime. I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this wonderful B&B! Living in the historic part of the town like a local in a modern room with every comfort you need, just perfect!
