The most delicate moment of a trip to Sardinia is arrival (or departure). If you booked a ferry from Barcelona, Toulon, Nice, or Genoa, you know the drill:
- Dawn Landing: You arrive at Porto Torres early, tired from the night on the ship.
- Late Landing: You arrive late at night and don't want to drive for hours in the dark.
- Night Departure: You must leave your rental in the morning, but the ferry leaves at midnight.
Villa Malvasio is your strategic base. We are located just 15 minutes by highway (SS131) from the port. No winding roads, no city traffic. Just immediate relaxation.
Here is why international travelers choose us as their "First" or "Last" stop.
1. Easy Communication 📱🇬🇧
We know how hard it is to get your bearings in a new country. Our welcome is warm and family-style. While English isn't our primary language, we understand each other perfectly with a smile and technology. We use WhatsApp (with instant translation) to send you exact locations, beach tips, and restaurant recommendations written in your language. No misunderstandings, just quick solutions.
2. Smart Arrival Management (Early Arrival) ☕
Your room will be ready and sanitized by 2:00 PM, but don't wait in your car!
- Come to us immediately after disembarking.
- Enter our private video-surveilled parking: keep your car loaded with luggage safe (essential for peace of mind).
- Leave your bags, freshen up, and enjoy our garden.
- Local Tip: Now that you are "light" and worry-free, we will direct you to nearby beaches or a typical lunch in Sassari.
3. Dawn Departure? Breakfast comes with you ☕🥐
Does your ferry leave at 6:00 AM? We know bars are closed and ship cafes are expensive and crowded. We won't let you leave on an empty stomach.
- Breakfast Bag: If you leave very early, we prepare a take-away breakfast (juice, pastry, fruit, or snack) for you to enjoy comfortably on the ship.
- Calm Wake-up: No rushing to find food, you have your travel kit ready.
- In 15 minutes, you are at the boarding gate.
