Mr Large, Hotel Carlos V
Large, modern and well maintained hotel. Just a ten minutes or so from the historic walled city of Alghero. Large range of food available at breakfast. We took dinner at the hotel one night and were impressed by the quality of the meal and the way it was so well presented.

Dr Duke, Hotel Carlos V
Excellent service from booking to departure.The pocket guide to Sardinia was informative and well written - a real inside guide.

Mr Jones, Hotel Carlos V
Really nice hotel worthy of the rating. Impeccably clean and staff were realy pleasant and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Mrs Durance, Hotel Carlos V
It is the first time we have used Just Sardinia. You were recommend to us and the whole experience could not be faulted. From the beginning of the booking process, through to the extremely helpful tour rep (Coleen) whilst we were there, it all was most enjoyable and we would recommend your holidays to others wanting to visit Sardinia.

Mrs Griffiths, Hotel Carlos V
All contact with Head Office was excellent.

Mr Halladey, Hotel Carlos V
We have done a lot of package holidays over the years but I have never come across a better rep than Colleen. She was fantastic!

Mrs Cave, Hotel Carlos V
First class service. From the time of the booking right the way through to the rep in Sardinia and the staff in the hotel. As my husband is on permanent crutches, we requested a room used previously as this catered for our needs.This was arranged at the time of booking. The transfer driver was most understanding and helpful. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine at the hotel Carlos V. The rep Colleen arranged for my husband to have a chair at pool side as he is unable to use sun beds as they are too low. Taxis were arranged swiftly when required. On the last day Colleen even arranged (without us asking) to stay a bit longer in our room until we were due to connect with our flight. All of these things together gave us a happy stress free holiday. So my answer is YES we will definitely recommend Just Sardinia. NB In fact we have booked another holiday in Sardinia at a different part of the island in September.

Mrs Cave, Hotel Carlos V
Always very caring and attentive to our needs. Treated as an individual not just another number.

Mr Fern, Hotel Carlos V
A very good Hotel and service.

Mrs Cave, Hotel Carlos V
The room we were staying in was exactly what we required. Spacious, well equipped and perfect location.
