Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
When we had a hiccough with car hire (they didn’t accept contactless payment and my husband didn’t have his card) Darryl sorted everything for us - really helpful and efficient as always
Noah always finds a good deal for us. We've been getting flights from him since 2014. Really great service!
What an absolute legend Neil is....
You were excellent. British Airways was awful.
We were told by BA that our flight had been cancelled - due to bad weather in the UK. We had calls and emails from DialAFlight offering help and advice.
Thank you again darling Helen and team.
Holiday was great. Five star service
Hotel needs update. On the whole good location. Clean rooms. Great breakfast.
Brilliant as always
Service overall was fantastic. Wish I had been informed of the cabin luggage difference for my easyjet flight though.
All was well thanks to Annabelle
Very professional and knowledgeable customer service
Car hire was awkward. Although directions were OK it was not evident where we needed to be to get the car.
Great holiday, great hotel location, perfect flights, thank you to Lauren Canning!
First time using ITA and would use again. Only one issue that you should be aware of relating to the hotel transfer. We believe they cancelled the coach pick up at 1pm so we were left waiting for an additional 90 minutes. The Hotel did not confirm this but that is our feeling and we heard others had a similar experience. Might be easier to get a cab for an extra 20 euros.
As always, Michelle Dooler and her team lived up to their excellent reputation! Before I had even started to worry about having to check in online, Michelle had thought about it and the boarding passes were in my inbox ready to be printed! Superb - thoughtful and efficient service!
All great - thank you to Bella for arranging. The hotel was lovely and very central, Verona was great place to explore.
Your representatives are always very helpful and will always look something up if we are not sure of any part of our holidays. We have been using DialAFlight for 5 years now and have never had any occasion to complain or query any part of the service.
No problems!
Thank you Travis Simon for all your hard work organising flights for my crew. Awesome service and thanks a million!
Staff in hotel were all exceptional as was the hotel itself. Europcar also excellent, not the normal rip off car rental company I have had to endure previously. Well done to Lily who organised everything for us.
As usual Ashley was excellent
Our agent Molly Smith has been amazing and we will use her next time.
Car hire with Centauro was very good but was not expecting an age related surcharge!
Apart from poor weather conditions which cancelled our boat trip to Positano and the Amalfi coast the holiday was a big success. The hotels were very comfortable and we had memorable days in Rome, Naples and a day trip to Pompeii. Many thanks again Chloe.
It's always good. But fortunately there was nothing to go wrong. The plane both ways was punctual. Gatwick has become efficient although looking shabby after Bologna, but I was through in 10 minutes.
BA let us down on return flight ... announcing on all screens they were boarding extra early. So we had to leave a bottle of nice wine and a couple of cocktails to rush to the gate only to find they were not boarding and indeed the flight was actually delayed! Not happy but obviously nothing to do with you guys
I highly recommend you to other people. Thank you for the personal service.
Amy and Erin couldn’t help us enough. Always there when needed.
Everything went smoothly. Good human touch. Why go anywhere else?
For as long as I can remember, Italy has held a place in my heart. The food, the culture, the fashion... in fact, for a brief period in my twentysomethings, I even toyed with the idea of upping sticks and moving there.
My dream at the time was to renovate a run-down Italian villa, all the while savouring the best truffles and gorgonzola, washed down with amarone.
Of course, things didn't quite work out like that, but over the years I have had many Italian adventures. Trekking through Tuscany, watching the Grand Prix in Modena, honeymooning in Rome, high fashion in Milan, and stays in Sicily.
Sardinia had got away from me, and was definitely on my go-to list. What wasn't on the list was missing our flight to Cagliari and having to rebook from a different airport - but this definitely added a certain frisson of excitement to the trip, particularly with my husband and two small children in tow!
But we reached our destination later that day, if a little later than planned and made our way to our resort in the south of the island - Forte Village in Santa Margherita di Pula. It's hard not to be impressed by this resort. It's essentially a luxury holiday village, nestled in gardens along a white sandy beach.
There's a choice of accommodation - from five and four-star hotels and luxury villas. We were staying in Hotel Castello, in a deluxe family bungalow which had been newly refurbished alongside other extensive multi-million pound renovations which have taken place over the last few years.
An ideal hide-away
The villa was perfect - contemporary and comfortable, with plenty of room for a family of four and with lots of garden space.
There were gourmet and buffet restaurants, numerous swimming pools, infinite activities, a charming piazza with evening entertainment - the nightly children's disco was a particular hit - boutiques and a Thalasso spa.
There's even a children's restaurant where youngsters can stock up on child-friendly food.
It means they get to eat before going to the kids' club, so parents can enjoy a more intimate meal together. A really good idea.
In fact, there's so much to do here that we found we didn't have to leave the village - which, to be truthful, is awkward when holidaying with small children anyway.
There's a number of sporting academies and clubs, ideal for older children. Our girls are so young they were more than happy splashing in one of the pools, or the waterpark, or the Children's Wonderland - essentially a child-sized play village.
There's even a Barbie house where children can colour, get their nails painted and maybe even meet the famous blonde.
And speaking of famous blondes, there's a good chance you'll bump into one here. The place is full of beautiful people, and it is prime people-watching territory.
Foodie heaven
Foodies in particular will love it here, and eating is a big part of the Sardinian experience - and let's face it, of any holiday. Everywhere we ate was really, really good - and as resolute carnivores, we were pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed our meal at the Michelin-starred all-veggie restaurant, Peaches Cream. And I got to make pizza at the Gourmet cooking academy, the Italian way (although I've yet to repeat this experience in my own kitchen).
As parents know only too well, any time you get to yourself is precious, and you need to make it count. So I managed to slink off for a couple of hours one day to experience the Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa, which dates back millennia to the time when ancient Romans built thermal baths at the nearby port town of Nora.
After I recovered from the shock of sliding into the murky warm water - filled with those miracle-working marine algae and minerals - I really relaxed and enjoyed it.
We came home tired but happy. And very relaxed. Particularly because we didn't miss our flight this time.
