We stayed 5 nights with Silvia e Paolo 6-11 June. We would thoroughly recommend their fine establishment. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Breakfast is basic but fine and the freshly made coffee is superb. Silvia and Paolo are extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel completely at home. Their rooftop terrace is perfect for an end of day vino or Mirto! Free wireless internet was a bonus.The location is perfect - right on the main street. There is noise during the day time, but a nice sort of noise ... chatter, general city life ... nothing too intrusive. Excellent double glazing means there is no problem sleeping, despite the busy location, when things quieten down around 11pm). Bars and restaurants at the doorstep, as well as museums etc within easy walking distance. Paolo speaks very good English and gave us some excellent recommendations on where to eat and visit. Nuoro was a good place to visit - it feels like a 'real' Sardinian town - unpretentious but interesting and lively. This B&B is excellent value for money and a really nice place to stay (even for late-40s comfort lovers like us). No parking on site, but Paolo kindly went with us to show us a nearby free parking area. The only tip I'd give to visitors is that Silvia e Paolo's place has an unobtrusive doorway that's easy to miss. There is a plaque (for a sailing school, I think!) on the wall beside the door, but you have to look at the names on the doorbell buttons to discover you are in the right place (it's next to a bookshop). Thanks, Silvia e Paolo! Once we have our Mirto recipe perfected, don't forget to visit us in NZ! Grant & Deryl
