1. Why We Provide Free Family Amenities
Travelling with a baby or toddler to Sardinia should be exciting — not stressful. At RENTAL12, we are a family ourselves. We know that packing a suitcase alongside a stroller, a travel cot, a bottle warmer, and a changing mat can turn the joy of a holiday into a logistics nightmare. That is exactly why every RENTAL12 guest with children receives a full set of baby and family amenities — completely free of charge, delivered directly to your apartment before you arrive.
Unlike hotel chains that bill €15–€30 per night for a cot or large agencies that outsource to third-party equipment rental companies, we own all our equipment in our dedicated warehouse managed by our guest services team. This means faster delivery, higher hygiene standards (Miele professional laundry), and zero hidden fees. It is part of the owner-operated promise that sets us apart.
"We never want a parent to choose between hand luggage and their child's comfort. If we can carry it for you, we will — and we won't charge a cent."
— Floriana, CEO & Co-Founder, RENTAL12
This is not a promotional offer or a seasonal deal — it is a permanent policy. RENTAL12 has never charged guests for baby or family amenities and never will. No deposit. No daily rental fee. No cleaning surcharge. No fine print. Every item on our list is included free of charge at every property, every stay, every time.
While most holiday rentals in Sardinia either don't offer baby equipment at all or outsource to third-party companies at €15–€50 per item per stay, we own everything in our dedicated warehouse — so providing it free costs us very little and means everything to travelling families. This is what owner-operated really means.

"We arrived with our 8-month-old expecting to rent a cot somewhere in town. Instead, everything was already set up in the apartment — the cot, a bottle warmer, even a little bathtub. We didn't have to think about a thing."

4. RENTAL12 vs Hotels & Agencies — Why We Never Charge
If you are comparing family resorts in Sardinia, hotels in Olbia, or other holiday rental agencies, here is how RENTAL12 stacks up on baby and family amenities. The difference is structural: we are owner-operated, not a marketplace — so we control costs, quality, and delivery end-to-end.
| Feature | RENTAL12 | Typical Hotel | Booking Agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baby cot | Free ✓ | €15–€30/night | €20–€50/stay (3rd party) |
| Stroller | Free ✓ | Not available | €30–€60/week |
| Bottle warmer | Free ✓ | Rarely available | €10–€15/stay |
| Baby monitor | Free ✓ | Not available | Not available |
| Deposit required | Never | Sometimes | Usually €50–€100 |
| Hygiene standard | Miele professional | Varies | Unknown (3rd party) |
| Full kitchen + washing machine | Every property ✓ | No (room only) | Varies |
| Total extra cost for 7-night family stay | €0 | €100–€250+ | €80–€200+ |
This is not a limited-time promotion. RENTAL12 has never charged for baby or family amenities and never will. It is built into our operating model as an owner-operated holiday rental company. We own the equipment, we maintain it to hospital-grade standards, and we deliver it directly. No middleman, no markup, no surprises. Whether you are planning a family holiday in Sardinia for the first time or returning for your fifth summer, the service is identical — and always free.
Watch Out Many holiday rental listings in Sardinia advertise "family-friendly" but charge extra for every item at check-in. Always ask before booking: "Is baby equipment included or extra?" At RENTAL12, the answer is always: included, free, no exceptions.

6. Why Olbia Is Perfect for a Family Holiday
If you are considering Sardinia with children — whether babies, toddlers, or older kids — Olbia is not just a gateway airport. It is one of Sardinia's most family-friendly destinations, and the only place where you can combine a genuine Italian town experience with free baby amenities at your accommodation. The shallow, sandy beaches at Pittulongu (just 5 minutes from town) are perfect for paddling toddlers, while the walkable historic centre is full of gelaterias, family restaurants, and car-free piazzas where children can safely run and play.
The best beaches near Olbia include Bados, Marinella, and Porto Istana — all with gentle slopes and clear shallow water. For rainy days, the pools and waterparks list covers indoor options.
