Description

Nestled in the tranquility of a spacious 3000 sqm property, this bed and breakfast provides the perfect sanctuary for those seeking relaxation and comfort just a short walk from the sea. Located near Pula in the Cagliari region, it enjoys a prime position between the Mediterranean Sea and the lush surrounding hills, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers.

The property features a large green area, private parking, and a swimming pool, ensuring guests experience a stay focused on wellness and serenity. Within a kilometer, you'll find the prestigious Is Molas Golf Club, a ten-hectare pine forest perfect for strolls and hikes, and a small church dedicated to Fra Nazareno, which has become a pilgrimage site for many worshippers.

Pula is a destination rich in history and charm, highlighted by the fascinating archaeological site of Nora, where remnants of Phoenician, Punic, and Roman civilizations can be found. On Nora beach, the Church of Sant’Efisio stands, which is the endpoint of the historic procession that departs from Cagliari on May 1st. Just a short drive away, the stunning beaches of Santa Margherita di Pula, Chia, and Tuerredda offer breathtaking views, while the nearby BLUFAN water park provides a fun option for the whole family.

Well-connected via the S.S. 195, the B&B is easily accessible from both Cagliari's airport and port, making it an excellent starting point for exploring southern Sardinia.

Area Is Molas

The B&B is located a short distance from the charming town of Pula, in the province of Cagliari. This area faces east towards the beautiful Mediterranean Sea and offers mountainous views to the west, making Pula an attractive and versatile destination for travelers. It is easily accessible via the S.S. 195, starting from the airport or the port, along the southeastern coast of Sardinia.

Among the must-see attractions, the Archaeological Area of Nora is a key stop for anyone visiting Pula. Here, you can admire the remains of various civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans, who have left behind a rich cultural and artistic heritage. Be sure to visit the beach of Nora, where the church of S. Efisio is located, the site of the famous procession that takes place on May 1st, starting from Cagliari and ending at the church on the beach.

The B&B is situated in a peaceful and quiet area, surrounded by a 3000 m² property with spacious green areas, private parking, and an exclusive pool for guests. Just 1 km away, you can explore the Is Molas golf club, known for its excellent golf course, 10 hectares of pine forest perfect for pleasant walks, and the small church dedicated to Fra Nazareno dei Cappuccini, which has recently become a place of worship for many believers and pilgrims from across Sardinia.

In addition, the B&B is just a short drive from the stunning beaches of the Costa di Santa Margherita di Pula, Chia, and Tuerredda, as well as the technological hub of Polaris and the fun BLUFAN water park.

Very nice, great for relaxing, with a large grassy garden, trees for shade and a pool, which is definitely welcome in summer.

We were happy with our stay at Villa Franca. The lady is very kind and helpful and the place is very quiet. It is essential to have a means of transportation. I would recommend it.

Upon arrival, I immediately appreciated the beautiful garden, the pool, and especially the hospitality of the lady. However, unfortunately, I slept very poorly, the mattress was very hard, higher in the center and lower on the sides, with the feeling of constantly falling. Too hard, like a board. The pillows were very thin and very soft, empty. The third bed was positioned under the heat pump and was bothersome. The room is a bit too small. Honestly, I wouldn't book again because not being able to rest at night destroys me.

The answer from the host:
Salve Ilaria, ci dispiace molto che non abbia dormito bene. A volte il materasso ci viene richiesto appositamente duro, comunque faremo tesoro del suo suggerimento e lo cambieremo quanto prima. Per la pompa di calore sarebbe stato possibile orientare il flusso dell’aria verso l’alto in modo che non arrivasse direttamente sul letto Un caro saluto Franca.

Very kind lady, family-like welcome.

The owner is always very helpful, the property is well maintained and being in a slightly secluded location, and therefore isolated from the traffic and noise of the town, allows for a relaxing and pleasant stay.

When you book at Villa Franca, know that you will leave different from how you arrived because the lady will be able to convey something that will change you forever. It could be her knowledge, or perhaps her sweetness, or the calm tone of her voice, the availability or her welcoming... whatever it is, I think you will appreciate it. There is not much to add to all that I believe, as an experienced traveler and tourism professional, is the true essence of a Bed and Breakfast. Add the stunning pool, the clean house and the location for a true relaxation and the mix is complete. I will never forget this weekend. A huge thank you.

The answer from the host:
Ciao Sara, ti ringrazio tanto per le bellissime parole che spero di avere parzialmente meritato. Sono felice di avere conosciuto te e la tua meravigliosa famiglia. Spero che la vita ci faccia rincontrare. Saluti da parte di tutti noi. Franca.

Lovely property in the middle of olive groves. Property is located 10 minutes drive from Pula and Nora, great for visiting the lovely town of Pula and the archaeological site of Nora or the surrounding beaches, but you need to drive everywhere. Bottle of water on arrival, bring anything else you need as there is no shop within walking distance. There was a small communal fridge where you can put a few things. The pool and garden are brilliant with the beautiful scent of pine trees in the air. Room and beds are comfortable with an air conditioner. We stayed one night to explore the area. I drove to Nora for a magical sunrise. Worth getting up early, park by the archaeological site and the sun rises from the sea a few steps from the car park. Kids loved the warm pool. The hosts are lovely and serve you a nice breakfast, although it has only sweet options. The house lady doesn't speak English, but she is very charming and with my little Italian we got along well.

Everything is beautiful. From the booking you realize the genuine friendliness of the managers, confirmed when you arrive at the property. Definitely deserving of top marks. The pool is also available in the evening. Beautiful. Highly recommended.

The kindness and availability of the landlady is definitely the best introduction to this B&B. The room is very clean and detailed, the breakfast is varied and abundant with homemade brioches or cakes and there is no lack of fresh fruit, and the pool available to guests completed our week-long stay in the best way. Highly recommended.

"Rejuvenating stay".\n\nB&B suitable for those who want to get away from the chaos and stress.\n\nStructure immersed in the Mediterranean scrub just a few minutes from the town of Pula and a few km from the enchanting beaches of Chia.\n\nVilla well-kept and enriched by the pool, available to guests even in the evening.\n\nThe room is very clean, not particularly spacious, but equipped with every comfort.\n\nThe breakfast is rich and complete.\n\nThe caring hostess ensures to satisfy the tastes of individual guests and encourages them to express their preferences.\n\nI believe that those who have expressed criticisms in this regard have simply refrained from expressing their desires.\n\nThe hostess's idea of providing her guests with a sort of guide that lists restaurants and nearby beaches with directions and phone contacts is intelligent.\n\nDo not worry: Mrs. Franca, who has seen a good part of the "world" with her own eyes, has many tips and suggestions to help you have the perfect holiday.\n\nI can only thank her for welcoming us with sympathy and so much kindness.
