I was recommended the Santa Lucia site by a teenager who had been several years before and loved it. I took my two teenage children without dad and wanted somewhere chilled and easy. Certainly the place to come... Made the mistake of flying to Alghero which is a good two hour drive (they did forget us at the airport - for several hours) Make sure you take direct campsite number with you just in case as it took hours to get hold of someone. Nerves were frayed when we arrived and were wondering what we had done. But got to say after the first day we found out feet and loved it. You do have to walk through another campsite to get to beach but not really a hassle. You also have to walk down the beach to get to the Amfietreks water sports area which is the best place as closer to the village it gets very crowded. There is little shade so make sure you take a brolly/shadecloth as it is very hot! Also take drinks and refreshments as its a pain to have to walk back for the loo etc. The tents are basic and yes I wish they had provided sheets as sleep bags are not necessary mid summer. Also there is no safes on site. Also no cash machines in local village so you have to take monies with you or take a trip further away (make sure you take some for fab ice creams in village). The food was basic and a bit samey but fine. Now the good bit.... we had a great time. The people were very friendly (we were the only English there) but had no problem meeting people. There is plenty of entertainment in the evenings providing your up for it. There is a really communal feel to the place which is lovely and relaxing. The teens met loads and had a great time. I did not feel out of place being a lone parent. We stayed in a a family tent which was ideal. The campsite is set under pine trees which is a relief. I would definately go back flying to Olbia instead. I only wish we had a bit longer and had done some local trips. Apparently the early morning walk is definately worth it. Also the half day snorkelling trip. Definately would recommend.. Ps. do not let your young children walk barefoot on the pine undergrowth especially at night. There is the odd small scorpian that can give you a bit of a nip.
