Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We chose this B&B because of its high rating on Trip Advisor and the happy clients who raved about the welcoming style of the owners. It's all true. Antonio and Elena are about as pleasant and accommodating as anyone could be hosting strangers every day in their home. They are upbeat, attentive, responsive, energetic, and amiable. Perfect hosts. The "home" is really a collection of units wrapped around a verdant interior courtyard with a two story home on one side and two little apartments on the other side, with the two halves joined by walls that enclose the garden and ensure privacy. The place is immaculate, everything is in working order, and the common garden a true oasis in this rather dingy but interesting town. The owners (Sardinians) love art, music, travel, food, and people. The paint, wall art, tile, and landscaping are beautiful.The beds are very comfortable. A friendly cat entertains guests. There is an outdoor sink, refrigerator, and washing machine available to all the guests, and the owners don't mind if you have to borrow something from their kitchen, which is adjacent to the outdoor courtyard in a big open plan. You are part of their lives...and grateful for it. The town of Cabras is not really a destination, but a host of interesting attractions are available in the area on the Sinis Peninsula: the bay of Oristano, a huge lagoon, a fascinating archeological ruin called Tharros dating to the 8th century BC, beaches, and some lonely and beautiful walks on trails in the Oasi di Seu Park along the shore north of the narrow peninsula with the archeological ruins. Be prepared, though, for some rather decrepit conditions here and there. The region is not wealthy and much repair and renovation is needed. And don't be put off by the dingy character of the street the B&B is located on. It's centrally situated convenient to restaurants and markets and once you walk through their gate you are in another world.

Amazing! Antonio and Elena are very sweet and welcoming. Their attention to detail is outstanding, the rooms are very comfortable charming and make you feel at home. The location is great as it takes you 5min drive to be at some of the most beautiful beaches of Sardegna. Antonio and Elena are great hosts and never mind to go the extramile to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We got great tips on where to go to beach, surf, eat or drink. Thanks Antonio and Elena, hope to see you again!!!

Surprised by all of the good reviews for this place.
Family run. Owners were very friendly, if not a little too friendly at first. That was until we told him we were leaving and not able to stay for the entire duration at their place, then the man showed another side of himself. We made an excuse but in reality we just did not want to stay at their place any more. The environment was strange for us and it felt uncomfortable being a part of their family life. I personally would not like to have my child running around playing in the same area as the paying guests/strangers. I understand that B&Bs are more smaller and personal than hotels but still I don’t think I need to be that involved in the owners life’s.
The B&B is situated in a quite side street, behind the main door one enters into a nice, small rectangular garden area. There is the owners home where breakfast is served and then opposite are three converted stable rooms. There were also some guests who seemed to be staying in the house with the family.
We stayed in the stable rooms and I was completely disappointed and felt very deceived by the good reviews and photos. The room we had was dark, damp and smelly. There were no windows for light or ventilation, unless one kept the door open. Small, corridor style bathrooms. One double bed in the room and then boards placed above the bed to make a mezzanine area for two single matrasses. We had the worst sleep ever on the double bed and only managed to last 2 nights. The bed sunk in the middle and was terribly soft, it really was awful. We were able to hear the other guests in their rooms and it’s not really a pleasant experience to hear the neighbours going to the bathroom and snoring during the night. Satellite TV in the room was good but a tiny little tv screen. Wifi reception was only working near the main house and not in the rooms. The breakfast was very nicely made by the owners though we did not like having to be seated with the other guests and thought it would have been nicer to have separate tables.
The owner recommended two restaurants and each time we saw the same B&B guests in the restaurants.
The owners were very nice at first and seemed very friendly with some of the other Italian guests, I suspect a lot of the good reviews are largely based on how welcoming the family are as opposed to the actual quality of the rooms.
Would never go back or recommend the place. A shame that the best beaches we found during our stay in Sardinia were located in this area as the accommodation in the area was terrible!!

Response from sacottilla, Proprietario at Sa Cottilla
Responded 25 Sept 2012
Gent.mo Lord, the b & b and even houses in Italy by law, must be located in the same building occupied by the owners. Apart from those staying in this b & b, it prefers a type of family treatment. We make sure to make guests feel at ease without invading their privacy. But it seems to me that his PROBLEM was born after he had booked for four nights, and without notice (at least the night before) he left after two. Maybe my husband has used a bit of "temperament" noting that it is working for us, and we said "no" to other people because the room was reserved for you. We have not done any penalty, of course we found his behavior very unfair. Also because its justification was, "that had to reach friends" Why did not set out its own problems? My husband is fluent in German and continually ask our guests if there are problems, if all goes well, you could say. We are very sorry that the room on the garden was not to your liking, we could show you those in the main house, separate and independent as they (no host lives with us) All our rooms have openings required by law (ASL), Those of the garden have a window in the bathroom and a door with mosquito net (maybe you did not see!?). Unfortunately the bed more or less soft matter of taste, such as pillows on request we can choose or change. Rooms are not sound track (we are not a 4stars) but reading his reviews I think you have a problem with sleep. . The wi-fi is free, and maybe sometimes it can take a little to 'interior of the rooms but just go out on the veranda that takes very well. We chose to put the satellite TV, just for our foreign guests, but at the moment I think the size is fine so. The room cleaning is done every day by ourselves with care and assure you that you can not define smelly! We are very pleased to have aprezato our breakfasts and free-time SELF SERVICE (apart from milk, coffee and tea that we offer, but in order to interact with Italian and foreign guests for us all equal and important. As usual set the table in two tables, and everyone can choose if you prefer to sit or even isolate the various tables that are scattered in the garden. As for the restaurants we just propose, (when asked) then the choice to our guests, but I can not understand his problem, finding other people in the b & b .. He wanted to be alone? Fortunately, our work is done with great satisfaction: 56 positive reviews and believe me, not only for the family atmosphere, but because mettimo passion, and commitment to our work. Of course there is always room to do better, renew etc. .. The council, however, have more respect for the work of others, respecting reservations or at least attaching valid excuses, and change the type of holiday best for her apartment or large anonymous hotel. Now allow me a personal discourse, as she is about to become a father, and can not deny that we had a special care for the pregnant lady. I was very hurt that you are allowed to judge us as parents, I'm sorry that he felt annoyed because our daughter (5 years) by all workers, including teachers, very polite little girl, playing with the other guests, maybe you what we believe is morally harmful enrichment that has developed in her interpersonal skills and communication (already speaks some English and French). still attends the nursery and occasionally it is in the garden with the toys and small shows (that sweet wife disliked) always under our supervision. Guests for us are no strangers-paying as you define them, but respectful and aware people to join a family atmosphere and often over the years with them has established a relationship of true friendship. A hug to dear wife which has not even allowed to finish the breakfast was as angry ... We both wish for the baby. greetings from the entire famil

We booked to stay one night at Sa Cotilla via booking.com and received email confirmation the reservation was made. At 6pm on the evening we were arriving, booking.com sent us an email and a voicemail message stating the booking would not be honoured and we had no room that night. We were in the middle of the Sardinian countryside with no reception and no wifi so did not get the message.
We arrived at Sa Cotilla to find out we had no room. The owners admitted this was because another couple had arrived with no booking and we presume offered more money. They had arranged somewhere else for us to stay but this is not good enough! We had booked the room and were entitled to stay.
This one star review reflects the fact that this action was totally unacceptable and unprofessional. The B&B may be lovely, the remaining reviews certainly suggest it is, but be warned you may arrive to find you also have no room for the night.

Cabras is a popular town because of its regional attractions and proximity to Oristano and the coast. . The town itself is not very attractive.. Inside the gate of Sa Cottilla it is a quiet and cozy oasis of tranquility. The hosts are Antonio & Elena, are welcoming and helpful. The room is basic, the bathroom good and practical. Breakfast was classic Italian - not enough long drinks of coffee . Home made cake. Yoghurt

Although there is not much happening in Cabras, you have plenty to visit in the area. Perfect to relax by the sea and nature. This B&B is a hidden oasis, the rooms were a dream and the breakfast really good (Elena bakes amazing fruit cakes!). The host are very friendly and i am very glad we chose to visit Cabras.

Lovely B&B in Cabras. Highly recommended stay. Great couple Antonio and Elena running this beautifully decorated and stylish B&B. Rooms are great, nice and clean. We stayed in the beautiful main house. Everything you can dream of in a luxury hotel is present in this B&B. Including bathrobes, water, wifi and excellent AC. They also gives spot-on recommendations for eating out and the beachlife is excellent.

We stayed in the central room in the garden. The bathroom had a bad stench the whole time we were there and the owner knew about it and made no apologies or amends. Same with power failing overnight for no reason which made for an extremely hot night. Breakfast was basic. The room was very dark and claustrophic. Not bad location but would certainly not stay there again or recommend.

We loved staying here - very friendly guests, casual accommodation, a small room on inner courtyard with a beautiful garden of flowers. Good breakfast as well. We had some drama with our luggage being lost by airline and they were very good about being on site for when it arrived so we could enjoy Cabras. Cabras is an amazing place to visit - and this place is a very short drive to Oristano as well making this a great relaxed location to kick back and relax. Not fancy though...
