Choosing the right accommodation for your stay in Sassari can be tricky. Terms like Hotel, Bed and Breakfast, or Guest House are often used interchangeably, but the differences—in terms of service, regulations, and tax status—are significant. Understanding these distinctions will help you find the perfect balance between comfort, price, and, most importantly, privacy.

1. Hotel: The classic choice A Hotel is the traditional option for those seeking standardized services like 24h reception or on-site dining. However, in these structures, privacy is often limited due to the high number of guests, and rooms tend to have a more uniform, commercial design.

2. Bed and Breakfast: Home hospitality The B&B started as family-run hospitality. By Italian law, the owner must reside within the property. This means you are "sleeping in someone’s home," often sharing hallways and common areas directly with the host family. It’s ideal for those seeking close human contact, but it may be less suitable for travelers who desire total independence.

3. Guest House: The perfect balance A Guest House is the professional and "luxury" version of a B&B. There is no obligation for the owners to live within the guest spaces, ensuring superior privacy—much like a Boutique Hotel—but with a much more curated and personalized touch.

The Evolution of Villa Malvasio: Why we are different

 

We started as a Bed and Breakfast, but we have evolved into an Elite Guest House for one specific reason: your privacy. Unlike standard B&Bs, at Villa Malvasio, we have created a clear boundary:

• Independent Wing: Our family lives in a separate portion of the villa. The guest area is a reserved space with no shared living areas with us.
• Exclusive Services: We offer a swimming pool for the exclusive use of our guests, secure internal parking, and Suites with private Jacuzzi tubs.
