Booking, Airbnb or Official Website? How to Save on Your Holiday in Sardinia

Planning your trip? Discover how to use portals for research, but why booking via the Official Website guarantees you the best price and zero surprises.

The moment has arrived. ✈️ You’ve chosen your destination (the wonderful North Sardinia), you have the dates, but now the big dilemma arises: where should I book? Should I open Booking.com? Check Airbnb? Or maybe look at Expedia?

These are legitimate questions. The web is full of options, and navigating them isn't easy. In this article, we want to give you a compass to navigate the world of online bookings, revealing how to get the most out of your holiday in Sassari (while saving on your budget).

1. The Truth About Portals (Booking, Airbnb, Expedia)

Let's be clear: these sites are incredibly useful tools. They are safe, reliable, and offer a huge overview: from private cottages to luxury villas with swimming pools. We are present on these channels ourselves because they allow us to showcase our property to the world.

However, you need to know how they work. Portals are intermediaries. They offer a "showcase" service and, understandably, charge a commission on every reservation. Often, this commission affects the final price you see, or it reduces the margin the property can invest in pampering you.

2. The "Quality Filter": How to Avoid Traps

Before looking at the price, look at safety. On portals, feedback is the only currency that really matters.

  • They cannot be faked: A review on Booking can only be written by someone who has actually stayed there.
  • The Rule of 9: If you are looking for a quality stay, filter the properties. Aim only for those with a score above 9 (or 4.8 on Airbnb) and at least 30 reviews.

A high score (like Villa Malvasio's) is your insurance against nasty surprises: it guarantees that the "dream pool" you see in the photos really exists and that cleanliness is impeccable.

3. The Smart Traveler Strategy

Here is the "secret" that expert travelers always use. Use the big portals as a search engine. Look at the photos, read the reviews, compare locations. But once you have decided that Villa Malvasio is the right place for you... stop.

Do not click "Book" on the portal. Search for the property's Official Website.

Why Booking Directly on VillaMalvasio.com Pays Off

At Villa Malvasio, we have a transparent policy: those who contact us directly deserve privileged treatment. Skipping the middleman brings immediate benefits to you:

  1. Best Rate Guaranteed: By eliminating intermediation costs, on our site you will always find more competitive prices or exclusive offers not available elsewhere.
  2. Direct Contact: Do you need an early check-in? Want to organize a romantic surprise in the room? By speaking directly with us (and not with an international call center), we can personalize your stay in real-time.
  3. Flexibility: Managing a change of dates is much simpler and faster if there are no third parties involved.

Don't let an algorithm decide the price of your holiday. If you have chosen the elegance and relaxation of Villa Malvasio, book at the source.
