    Viola and Vito were exceptional hosts, they made us feel welcomed and at home. Love having a little breakfast and coffee available in the morning and a microwave.

    Wish we could have stayed longer

    Well located guest house. The owner was extremely helpful and went out of her way to make sure we had a wonderful stay. Recommendations regarding restaurants and places to visit made our trip memorable. I’d have no hesitation recommending this property. Thank you for a great time in your property

    Viola is a really friendly, nice, and helpful person. She assisted us with public transport, taxis, city taxes, and even pointed out on the map the must-see places in Cagliari. We spent five days at the guest house and were very happy with our choice. The room was perfect for two people—very clean, comfortable, and equipped with a private bathroom. The breakfast was also delicious and served on a lovely terrace. If we ever return to Cagliari, we’ll definitely choose Viola's guest house again.

    This is a wonderful, family run Boutique hotel. We receive a very warm welcome and great service throughout our stay. The Guest House is well positioned to access all local attractions and get around the city, and is ideal for someone looking to immerse themselves completely within the local environment. Breakfast and amities were excellent. Our hosts were lovely, engaging and provided great suggestions as to where to go, what to see and where to eat. I would thoroughly recommend Contus Rétro Guest House and would be very happy to return!

    Very cute guesthouse run by a cuter family. You can tell they've given design and comfort attention, and tried to make their guests' stay as comfortable as possible. And the breakfast on the terrace was wonderful.

    In one word - delighted. Precise instructions for check-in. A beautifully decorated room with a bathroom with all the necessities. The homemade breakfast is excellent and is served on a wonderful terrace. The terrace is a pleasant surprise and has been transformed into a real small garden. The owner, Viola, pays special attention to details, and as a lover of beauty, that was an added bonus for me. If I ever return to Cagliari, I will definitely choose the same accommodation. Thank you for your kindness. You are a true inspiration.

    The windy weather

    We loved to stay at the guest house. It was very clean and comfortable. Viola, and her family was very kind and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom clean and tidy. We did not use the very nice balcony as the weather was very windy during our stay.

    Our recent stay at Viola's place was a delight. The place was mmaculately clean, everything felt brand-new. Highly recommended! But what truly set this stay apart was our host, Viola. Her warm and genuine hospitality made us feel like cherished guests. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, offering helpful tips about the local area and making sure we had everything we needed. Viola’s attentiveness and kindness left an indelible mark on our hearts.

    It's a bit of a walk to the action in Cagliari, which would not be a problem if your group is ok with a 15-minute walk but was challenging for my elderly mom

    Stylish interior, immaculate and comfy room, friendly and helpful hosts, quiet and cozy atmosphere, cute and friendly doggo, pretty good location

    not so close to the center but 15-20 minutes walking with icecream it's ok.

    Viola was awesome. What a host. Helped us with travel tips, where to go, where to eat, what we should do and visit. So good. The apartment is very cute and comfortable and the breakfast is very nice. Not just Viola but the rest of the staff is great, including the baby and the dog:) Just perfect.
