Perfect place for peace and amazing views
We had a week at Villa Ileana and it's a beautiful place. The first thing that struck us was the silence - no cars or other noise, just perfect peace. The villa was lovely with nice furnishings and very clean. The terrace with amazing views out to Caprera was such a relaxing place to sit with a morning coffee. The gardens are well maintained, spacious and very pretty with lots of flowers. We all loved the pool which is quite new. The owners do live on site next to the pool but they were very discrete and the pool is for your private use. Also worth noting that air conditioning is payable locally which we hadn't known.
The nearest shops are in the towns and worth taking some basics with you eg bread, milk, olive oil, coffee. We did receive some welcome provisions from Ileana too. She was very helpful despite our lack of mutual language! She lent us sun umbrellas for the beach (essential in august when you'll be lucky to get a rental bed unless you're on the beach very early). Also good for going to the less commercial beaches.
Overall we had a lovely week exploring the beaches and villages of the area and would happily return to this beautiful villa.
