Abbamele

Abbamele is at via Trieste 54, in Cabras, the town on the lagoon at the entrance to the Sinis peninsula. The property writes that it is five minutes on foot from the centre and two minutes from the entrance to the town coming from Solanas. Booking measures four kilometres and one hundred metres from Torregrande beach and thirteen kilometres from the archaeological site of Tharros; Oristano station is eight kilometres away, Cagliari-Elmas airport ninety-seven.

It is a small guest house, which the owners describe as a boutique guest house with a pool: two comfort rooms, one of them designed for certain disabilities, a suite with an exclusive terrace and a superior room on the upper floor with a view over the pool. For the rooms Booking adds air conditioning, a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer, bed linen and towels, and notes that some have a terrace. Breakfast is chosen à la carte, continental or Italian, and can be served in the room.

On age the two sources do not say the same thing and this listing says so. The property's website, which is the primary source, writes that in order to preserve a private atmosphere the house welcomes guests from fourteen years upwards and presents itself as adults only; Booking, in the Children conditions block, is blunter and writes that children are not allowed, with no cots or extra beds. The figure published by the property, fourteen years, is the one reported here; the line about eighteen years on Booking concerns only whoever puts the booking in their name at check-in.

The outdoor space is the inner garden with the outdoor pool, the deckchairs and the loungers, and the terrace. The pool is seasonal: Booking flags it as currently unavailable in the October reading. There is no wellness area, so no sauna, steam room or massage room. There is free parking, free wifi and, for a fee, an airport shuttle. Pets are not allowed.
