13+ baby and child essentials — delivered free to your apartment in Olbia & Golfo Aranci, Sardinia. We never charge for amenities.
Last updated: March 2026 · By Floriana, CEO & Co-Founder
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.
Every item below is available on demand at all 30+ RENTAL12 properties in Olbia and Golfo Aranci. All items are sanitised with professional-grade equipment after every use.
Plus: request anything else you need — we source it for you.
"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."

"Our warehouse team sanitises and checks every single item between guests. We use Miele professional washing machines and hospital-grade disinfectant — the same standard we apply to all our linens and towels."

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.
While every RENTAL12 property receives the full amenity service, these are especially suited for families with babies and young children:
AZULIS Villas Dumas
2–3BR villas with private pool, garden, and sea view in Golfo Aranci. Gated grounds, ideal for toddlers.
AZULIS Clubhouse #5
3BR family apartment with lift, terrace, sea view, and secure parking in Olbia.

Is Olbia, Sardinia a good destination for a family holiday with babies or toddlers?
Olbia is ideal for family holidays — shallow sandy beaches at Pittulongu (5 min drive), a walkable historic centre with family restaurants, Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport with direct flights from across Europe, and a mild Mediterranean climate suited to young children year-round.
Sardinia consistently ranks among Europe's safest and most family-friendly islands. Olbia offers the best of both worlds: a compact, walkable town with genuine Italian culture, and world-class beaches minutes away. The airport has direct connections to most European cities (low-cost and charter), making travel with small children as painless as possible.

Are there any hidden fees, deposits, or extra charges for baby and family amenities at RENTAL12 holiday rentals in Sardinia?
No — RENTAL12 never charges for amenities. There is no deposit, no daily rental fee, no cleaning surcharge, and no fine print. Every baby and family item is included free at all 30+ properties as part of the owner-operated service model.
We understand this sounds too good to be true — most holiday rentals in Sardinia charge €15–€50 extra for baby equipment. At RENTAL12, the cost of owning and maintaining our equipment is built into our operating model, not passed on to guests. There is no small print, no "optional extras" screen at checkout, and no surprise invoice at check-in. This policy has been in place since we started and will never change. See our Trust Hub for full transparency on how we operate.
Why does RENTAL12 provide baby equipment for free when most holiday rentals and hotels in Sardinia charge extra?
RENTAL12 is owner-operated by Lion Development SRL — not a booking agency. The team owns all equipment in a dedicated warehouse in Olbia, eliminating third-party rental costs. Providing free amenities reduces guest stress, increases repeat bookings, and reflects the family-first ethos of the brand.
Hotels charge for cots because they outsource to suppliers. Agencies charge because they take a commission on every add-on. We do neither. We bought our own cots, strollers, monitors, and kitchen equipment. Our warehouse team in Olbia maintains everything to professional standards. The marginal cost of lending a clean cot is close to zero — but the value to a family arriving with an infant is enormous. It is the single highest-rated aspect of our service in guest reviews.
How does RENTAL12 compare to family resorts and hotels in Sardinia for a family holiday with children?
Unlike Sardinia hotels and resorts that charge €15–€30 per night for a cot and outsource to third-party rental companies, RENTAL12 provides 13+ baby items completely free from its own warehouse — with professional sanitisation, same-day delivery, and no deposit required. Guests also get full apartments with kitchens, washing machines, and private outdoor space.
A family of four at a Sardinia resort will typically pay €100–€250 in extra baby equipment fees for a one-week stay. At RENTAL12, those costs are zero — and you get a full apartment with kitchen, washing machine, and often a terrace or garden. For families with young children, the space, privacy, and self-catering options make holiday rentals a better fit than a hotel room. Add free baby equipment on top, and the value is clear.

Is Sardinia safe, easy, and practical to visit with babies, toddlers, and small children for a family holiday in Italy?
Sardinia is one of Europe's safest family holiday destinations — low crime, excellent healthcare, shallow sandy beaches, mild climate year-round, and Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport with direct flights from most European cities making travel with young children practical and stress-free.
Italy consistently ranks among the safest countries in Europe for family travel, and Sardinia is among Italy's safest regions. The island has excellent public healthcare, pharmacies in every town, and a culture that genuinely welcomes children everywhere — restaurants, shops, beaches. Olbia is especially practical: the airport is 5 minutes from town, beaches are 10 minutes away, and everything a family needs is within a compact, walkable area.

We never charge for baby or family amenities — not now, not ever. No deposit, no daily fee, no fine print. All 30+ properties. All you need to bring is your family.
