Mandra Edera

I stayed for 9 days at Mandra Edera in their high season in August 2019 to get away alone from Manhattan New York City and be with horses in nature by myself. I found it to be a rustic location with a relaxed and attentive atmosphere for those who enjoy a quiet and natural experience. The pace and activities you wish to do are at your leisure, there is no stress here. The horses are beautiful and well cared for. The lessons by Stefano will really help you improve your riding, no matter your background or skill, he is so nice and patient. Paola and Daniele are excellent hosts and professional riders, their attention to detail and love for the land and animals will teach you how to be a better horse person and show you their unique historical Sardinian culture . Each person working there will help make you as comfortable as possible, thanks to Jessica, Alina, Barbara, Coco and his kitchen and everyone else . The room is comfortable and they make it very clean for you, this is a good place to come alone or with your children. The food is plentiful and simple, if you are hungry from riding you will enjoy that it is prepared and served with love, and meant to be eaten slowly while you watch the dogs and horses and garden. Everything here is done with pure intention. I also hope that others feel this way when visiting here. They have a wine cellar and you can enjoy local wine, which I recommend. The pool was cool and clean, and a nice place to take a nap after you have been out riding all morning. The large garden is clean and well groomed, the horses sometimes graze there. The way of life here is slower paced and relaxed, come stay for a week or more and you are certain to be enchanted by a simple commune with nature this country club facilitates. The rides out (excursions) are varied and well guided, if you come here seeking riding in nature you are sure to find a little bit of magic. You will ride among grape and fig groves, see ancient architecture, and maybe get invited to a local festival. If you love horses and meeting others who also share this love, you will leave feeling better than when you arrived. I'll be back, and I highly recommend this rural spot

Nice! Wonderful country side, very good hotel, good food, friendly staff. Thank you Stefano for the wonderful horse riding lesson to my 8 years old daughter. She loved it! Highly recommend!!!

We stayed at Mandra Edera from 8 to 11 Aug and absolutely loved it. It's the ideal place for horse lovers. Here are my higjlights: Garden suites are large enough for a family of 4 with a nice terrace in front with comfy chairs. We really enjoyed it with a glass of wine watching the very bright stars at night or horses grazing around in the morning. Food and drinks are hearty and not expensive. 25 euro for a 3 course meal plus drinks and dessert Horses are lovely and grazing around the large gardens without fear . You can tell they are happy and treated very well. My advise is bring some carrots and play with them. They have a variety of horses to suit all needs whether you want to ride or jump or your big or small or experienced or not. The horses are trained not spooky to accommodate absolute beginners. Riding classes: the instructors are great, happy and helpful . Big thanks to Stefano and the team who are very experienced and take care of both your fun and safety . Excrusions : we only tried 2 although they have a variety of sites, experience level and duration. We tried the forest Excrusion around the estate for 3 hours and it's great. We also had the beach Excrusion which starts with a lovely forest ride and ends on the beach. This was the icing of the cake and big thank you to Paola who guided us. Paola is lovely and fund person and instructor. She put confidence in my wife to trot and canter for the first time by herself. There is also nice pool in the garden which we used to in the morning to afternoon between our classes. During our stay, the day passed very quick as there is something to do or enjoy every minute. Finally, all the staff were great, and everyone went out of their way to accommodate our requests whether in lesson / excursion timing, food and fun. Also there is a family feeling amongst the guests who happily interact with each other. Looking forward to our next holiday there and lots of love and respect to these real horse people.
