Is Cheas Wine Farm Boutique Hotel

Welcoming and reception were great and hospitable. The pinetta was great and the privacy of our private swimming pool was perfect. Staff at reception and breakfast were very friendly. Our low rating is caused by the dining experience. As there is hardly an option to eat elsewhere we were captive customers. Both the dinner service (and the peculiar arrogant attitude of the head of service during our evenings as regards seating arrangements) and the limited fixed menu were a surprise we did not like at all. On weekdays the menu is either meat and vegetarian or fish and vegetarian. Some days the vegetarian was good, some days is was lacking ambition and volume. The fish menu was okay, the meat menu with e.g. pig as starter and as main, lacked culinary skills or ambition. Serving still frozen elements of a vegatarian dish clarified the sourcing of the ingredients. Breakfast service, in particular Elena, made up quite a lot.

The family room we stayed in and the property itself was extremely lovely for our family of 2 adults and 2 boys (ages 11/7). Both the pool at our room and the main shared pool were a great way to cool off on the hot days of our stay and the service we received from all stay was excellent throughout. In terms of food we couldn’t ask for much more in terms of the adult menus both for breakfast and evening meals although the children’s menus could have been a little more accommodating and were quite restrictive. The property is located close to 2 small, very quiet villages that had basic facilities and the property itself was along a very poor quality road but easy to navigate to. The main challenge we had was that some drinks were included in our board but some were not and this was unexpected and not explained fully from the outset. Yes, I expected to pay for alcoholic drinks throughout our stay, but what I didn’t expect to pay for were hot drinks during breakfast which accounted for a large bill on check out Another challenge was the privacy of our pod, which was very close to the pool area and entrance to the property, it did feel like anyone could walk into our pool area and surrounding space at any point and lacked enough privacy that we were hoping for An enjoyable stay but definitely some watch outs should anyone stay in the future

Excellent place to spend a few days relaxing in beautiful surroundings and eating absolutely delicious food. Our room was very comfortable and spacious, and the private pool and garden space was great for a quiet sundowner. Our kids loved the bigger shared pool too. The garden/grounds are beautiful, including the vines (the guided visit was super interesting, and the wines we tasted were great!). All the staff were very friendly and helpful. And did I mention the food…? All super fresh, creative and just amazing! We loved Is Cheas, and would highly recommend.

I wanted to like this place, but…, our welcome was terrible. No attempt at helping with luggage. This is a fancy place and not cheap and for this level of pricing I would expect somebody to help with luggage. Setting up WI-FI was hard. We did get a welcome glass of wine but it was so little. Might have been as well nothing. Very few explanations were given about what to expect. Our room was nice. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows very nice. The pool was nice but the system to get the pool cover off was flimsy and did not work well. The legs if the contraption to roll the cover off were unsteady. Requires two people to really make it work. The water in the pool however wonderful. The setting of the place us very nice. Architecture interesting and wonderful. Decoration beautiful. The dinner! AMAZING with the owner explaining everything and very friendly. Top!!!! Good delicious and creative. The breakfast!!! Horrible! No explanations offered what you can get or what will be served. Looks like all you can get us sweet rolls and butter and ham and cornflakes. Despite the fact this is labeled American Breskfast. It turns out when you ask you can get eggs and some cold cuts and cheese as is common for a breakfast in Europe. When we left, again no instructions provided how to get out of the gate. How to open it. Had to walk back to resort to get somebody to help. All of this may seem petty, but if I pay 400 and more I expect more.

Our family of four stayed here for three nights. A warm and efficient welcome on arrival. My wife and I stayed in one of the "Pinnettas"(a thatched dwelling), whilst our daughters stayed in the main building. Both rooms were tastefully decorated and we were very happy with them. Whilst the Pinnettas each have their own small swimming / plunge pools, the pool area at the main pool was great and easily accessible from all the accommodation. A sufficient number of sun loungers and adequate shade cover. Is Cheas is well placed for some great beaches - about 30 minutes drive away, depending on which one you were going to, as well as for the interesting town of Bosa, an hour's drive away. So plenty to do within an easy drive of Is Cheas if you want to do more than relax around the pool area. You can order sandwiches etc whilst at the pool. Very well kept gardens, with nice plantings. The owners introduced themselves to us and welcomed us personally. Very impressed that the facilities were dog and child friendly, but without in any way detracting from the enjoyment of the facility by those without dogs or children. Breakfast and dinner was included in the price. We enjoyed the breakfast, simple but satisfying. Dinner was served at20h00. Different fixed menu each night, catering for most tastes. We thought the food was of a very high standard, fantastic and really enjoyed the estate's wine. Our server, Sarah (hopefully spelled correctly) on two of the evenings rendered excellent service, very accommodating and all with a great sense of humor. She recommended one of the cooking classes where we could learn the techniques to make one of the pastas we were being served. My wife and daughters took up the suggestion and loved the one hour personalized class. We were sad to leave. A very professionally well run facility and a great place to stay. We were very impressed.

I am many months late writing this review, but feel I should share our experience. Is Cheas has some of the best hospitality we have ever experienced. Staying just one night on our drive around Sardinia, the service and sense of welcome we experienced from the staff was excellent. The meal they prepared was really tasty and all sustainably local or from their own grounds. My girlfriend was unfortunately not feeling well, and after leaving dinner the staff delivered her a tray of assorted teas to our room to help her feel better, and even asked how she was feeling the next morning. In addition to the wonderful staff, the grounds are just as enjoyable. A quiet and remote setting made the pool a great place to relax. If you are thinking of staying at Is Cheas I am sure you won't be disappointed.
