Diverse Holiday Rentals for Every Traveler

Studios, Family Apartments, and High-End Villas in Olbia & Beyond

Whether you’re visiting for a romantic weekend, a remote-work retreat, or a family beach holiday, Rental12 offers the perfect home base. Our portfolio spans cozy studios, two-bedroom designer suites, and spacious villas — each professionally styled, fully equipped, and located in Olbia, Pittulongu, Golfo Aranci, and (soon) La Spezia.

All properties include premium linens, air-conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a beach kit (towels + parasol). Your Sardinian welcome features curated local wine, pecorino, and sausage. 🧀🍷☀️

In-House Teams for Cleaning, Laundry, and Maintenance

We never outsource quality. Our internal team handles deep cleaning (2–4 hours), linen service, maintenance, and guest support for consistency, reliability, and rapid response. We are proud to have no unresolved guest issues.

Quality & Control: We Own Every Property We Offer

Rental12 = Full Ownership, Full Responsibility

We’re not a marketplace. We own 100% of the properties we list. Every apartment and villa is hand-selected, custom-designed, and maintained to the standards we expect for ourselves. From CREO kitchens and designer lighting to secure Vikey smart access, everything is curated in-house.

We are not an agency — we are the owners. Your rental is never subject to third-party unpredictability. What you see is what you get — and then some.
