Rooms
The B&B is composed by three large and bright double rooms, each with its private bathroom and with the possibility to add a third bed in case you need it.

Fantastic!!! - Where to begin? There are so many wonderful sights and experiences to talk about it’s hard to begin, but will do my best. First of all Miriam & Lino... read more are fantastic hosts, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable to recommend beaches, restaurants, etc to visit. Miriam will spend alot of time with you, she’s a character, very warm, funny & sweet plus thoughtful & considerate of your needs. Lino is an unbelievable artist, his incredible work is shown throughout the B&B & in his studio. There are only 3 rooms available here, each one stunning with lovely bed linens & decor.
Breakfasts are tasty & filling. A feast for your eyes as each day you visit a different part of the world with the table displays. (Africa, Amsterdam to name a few). The entire decor of this beautiful place was created by both Miriam & Lino and is quirky & lovely. The pictures do not do it justice. Its a incredible immersion into their world to be lucky enough to have both met them & have stayed here.

Very nice! - Very nice B&B on a very nice island.
Rooms are cute, clean and confortable. The B&B is well situated. Myriam and Lino are very nice. Breakfast is very good, Myriam... read more does it with love, really. If they ask you for a sailing trip? Say yes. Great experience. Lino is a great skipper and knows the islands inside out. Both Myriam and Lino will make sure you enjoy it. Both are easy going.
Also, I would recommend visiting Caprera. Ask Myriam to which 'calla' you should go! Some beaches are very nice.

The very best little bed and breakfast anywhere! - We had a ten day holiday in Sardinia and decided to have our last five nights in La Maddalena. How lucky we were to save the best to last.... read more Miriam and Lino are charming hosts and care very deeply about the quality of service they provide. In addition their hospitality is second to none and Miriam's breakfasts a work of art in themselves! Situated a short walk from town in a quiet residential area, La Petit Mason is beautifully decorated and the attention to detail a delight. More importantly the beds are super comfortable and the space very relaxing. I could go on but I wont because I don't want anyone else to know about all the other wonderful things we discovered during our stay, courtesy Miriam's exceptional local knowledge and truly global perspective. I fear the place will be so popular next year, I won't get a booking!!

Exquisite b&b - A little jewel in the lively town of la Maddalena. Beautiful and spacious hand painted bedroom and bathroom. Amazing breakfasts (but will not reveal exactly why, as it is a... read more surprise each morning). Friendly and lovely couple running the b&b. I highly recommend it.

An amazing find - We visited La Petit Maison as part of a holiday travelling around Sardinia. All told, an amazing find. Miriam and Lino are great hosts, making the most incredible breakfasts and... read more offering sound advice of the best places to visit for food and entertainment. The recommendations they gave were unpretentious, local restaurants typical of Sardinia with a real onus on good food and realistic prices. The accommodation was comfortable and clean, offering all amenities you could need.
We will definitely be back.
Thank you for such an enjoyable and restful stay!

Paradise in Paradise - I choose Petite Maison last minute,1 week from stay, with no time to compare other properties, photos and reviews said I HAD TO BOOK and what a great choice the... read more highlight of our 6 day, 3 B&B, trip around Sardegna. Guarantee our reviews are an understatement to the pleasure of staying in this Jewel of a Home.worth every penny.
Miriam and Lino are magnets of hospitality, they welcome you like long lost friends. You immediately know you have 2 very unique and fascinating hosts and hope to become their friends. They recommended the best activities for our short 2 night stay especially the day cruise of the archipelago with Marinella IV priceless.
It is impossible to describe the beauty in a few words and degrading to call it a simple B&B. It is a beautiful home created with much love and passion open to strangers. Every angle of the house is artfully created by Lino or Miriam, every detail is just right. We had the superior room, for 2 nights. Room was cool and quite despite the external heat, great shower, bed and linen. The house is a 400mt walk from the central core and port of Maddalena. Parking is external with no problems finding a spot in front. Location is also great when using car. 3 minutes to port, Caprera bridge and east Maddalena costal road
The breakfast served from 08:30-09:00 is a must do highlight no buts, the food creations would rapidly deplete if there was a wider time span. This is not a breakfast it is a beautiful work of art prepared with love and creativity. incorporating healthy colour theme fresh foods, of fruit, yogurt, juices, fresh Cornetti and bread. Your wake up drink is your choice, requested in advance and ready at your dedicated garden seat surrounded by beautiful bougainvilleas umbrellas,Ibicuses, herbs and much more. Miriam's flamboyant light hearted company and hands on service make this a breakfast you will never forget.
A special mentions goes to the graceful, shy Kila a rescued yorky and exuberant Pilou the entertaining, talkative Amazon parrot who is convinced she is the lord of the Manor.
If I ever return to La Maddalena and hope it will be soon I will not look elsewhere for accomodation just perfect in everyway.

Fabulous in every way - We have just returned from a wonderful 2 night stay at La Petit Maison.
We were greeted upon arrival by Miriam who immediately put us at ease making us coffee... read more and showing us the beautiful accommodation that she and husband Lino have created.The Superior room we had was delightful,so tastefully decorated and the bed was simply stunning and very comfortable.The bathroom,very luxurious with a huge bath.
Breakfast each morning was delicious,perfectly presented with a different theme each day,which were humorous and very thoughtful.The garden is so pretty and perfectly maintained,lovely to sit in and relax with a glass of Mirto which Lino was kind enough to provide,and of course meet Pilou the parrot who is very handsome and entertaining.
We had the most amazing day out with Lino and Miriam on their sailboat which was the highlight of our Sardinian holiday,if you are able to go it's a must.
If you are looking for the perfect place to stay in La Maddelena,this is it,faultless.
We were very sad to leave La Petit Maison but even sadder to leave Miriam and Lino,who's hospitality and genuine kindness made for a perfect end to our holiday.We will definitely return and stay longer next time.Thank you Miriam and Lino.

A hidden little oasis - We spent our 2 nights on La Maddalena here and would have loved to have stayed longer! Miriam is a great host, with a themed breakfast each morning a wonderful,... read more happy, fun way to start the day. The room was very cosy and clean. Miriam even provided us a sun umbrella for our trips to the beach, which were absolutely essential in the Sardinian sun. The pet parrot and little dog are also small delights, as is the oasis of flowers in the garden that offer welcome shade during the day.

Nice quiet little house in the residential neighbourhood within walking distance from the centre - We had a house with 2 beds upstairs, a nice garden and compound, sitting area and small little kitchen. We only had time for a night and didn't really spend... read more much time in the house. There were just too much to explore in the Maddalena and Caprera. The only shortcomings are no WiFi and A/Conditioner in the Via Deledda house. Fans are provided.

LA PETIT(E) MAISON - ISOLA MADDALENA ISLAND - "Probably the best little bed and breakfast in the world!"
This is how we and another couple (friends) with us would sum up this unbelievable gem on Maddalena off... read more the coast of Olbia in Sardinia. We stayed 5 nights from the 11th through 16th October, 2014 with our Dutch hostess, Myriam, and our Sardinian host, Lino.
To say they run an impeccable B & B would be badly understating just how wonderful our stay was in La Petit Maison. The beds, in terms of comfort, were to die for, the themed breakfast each morning by Myriam outstanding and with her Dutch cleanliness throughout their home, we could have eaten off the floors if she had let us. Lino is an outstanding artist with his paintings throughout the house along with all of the personal touches he has incorporated over the years - and they are numerous and in beautiful taste. As a team they are unbeatable.
In fact, LIno is such a great painter that our friends purchased one of his on the spot and we commissioned him to do one for us for our return to their B & B in 2015. In addition to knowing everything worth knowing on Maddalena Island, they are also a wealth of information on Sardinia as well. We find their untiring advice on anything we wanted to know to be exceptional at any time day or night. With Myriam's incredible language skills all guests are welcomed in whatever language they are most comfortable with - amazing!
One additional highlight are their two pets - Kila and Pilo. Kila, being a dog, is quiet and reserved while Pilo is a parrot with an unbelievable vocabulary in English and he barks when strangers ring the bell at the gate so that the dog doesn't have to trouble himself. Pilo also watches television each evening commenting fully on what is taking place before him on the TV screen. All four of us had fun with him and we agreed unanimously that he is a riot.
We will be returning in 2015 to collect our painting along with a few more night's stay.
You will note that I bracketed the (E) in the title above as the spelling on their website in French is not technically correct. This is a planned oversight by Myriam and Lino since there are so many La Petite Maison B & B's in the world that they wanted to differentiate themselves. They also chose .net rather than .com or .it to ensure their guests could find them quickly on the internet, TripAdvisor, etc. Their wonderful website is http://www.lapetitmaison.net.
