The Villas Resort - Day 1

We are going to have to adjust our Italian schedule. Breakfast at The Villas Resort is only served until 10am, not 11am which means we have to wake the kids up “early” if we are not to miss breakfast. It’s a shame since they were so sacked out this morning.
After we enjoyed breakfast with – once again – great coffee, Avery and Olivia went downstairs where they were the only two young guests of the mini-club. But, miraculously, they didn’t seem to mind. Josh went off on a bike ride (in the blazing heat – he must really love to be on his bike!). Charlotte hung out on the computer in our villa, while I went to the beach!

By the time I arrived, Olivia and Avery were already at the beach with the two counselors from the mini-club. That's what I call personalized attention! They were hunting for fish and rocks and having so much fun. When the counselors went off for lunch at noon, we all stayed at the beach for a while. Charlotte and Josh had joined us and we all swam together. Afterwards, we returned to the hotel to have lunch by the pool.  It was a restful afternoon. The girls spent almost the entire day at the beach. Avery took a nap. Josh watched the Tour and I caught up on emails.


Late in the day, the rest of us returned to the beach. The scenery is gorgeous and unspoiled, with the hills of Sardegna as a backdrop. Our particular section of beach has some enormous boulders and rocks located about 20 meters out into the sea and they make for a great climbing excursion with the kids.

When we returned to our villa, all the kids piled into the jacuzzi tub on the terrace to get clean --that is after the half hour it took to fill it up! Then we walked to dinner. Another delicious meal. Life is good.
