Supermarket nr Olbia, Sardinia

Bit of an odd one this, we have booked a villa next spring just outside of Olbia, all hunky-dory except that the owner wants to charge us £8 per day to hire a cot. I was wondering if anyone knows if the supermarket in Olbia or somewhere else nearby is likely to sell a travel cot or cheapy cot that we can buy instead. I know it makes me sound like a tight wad, and I am!!! But really, £8 per day??!!!

Tot agree £8 is insane!! I actually laughed when i saw ur post & its not cause its a odd Q its jus iv not bn to many places but i lived n olbia n sardy bout 9yrs ago for 3 months as an au pair!! I hadnt thought of it n so long anyways they had 2 goodish shoppin centres back then, now they r not huge and the better of the two was a 10min drive from olbia town... The town its self had two childrens stores kinda like mother care but i was only lookin at da clothes & it was a long time ago so cant honestly rem if they had travel cots, sorry. But id say ud hav no trouble gettin one... Are u bring a car?? Hav u bn to sardinia b4?? Its very beautiful but not particularly olbia its a grand port town chilled & has lovely little cafes but for da real amazin beauty ya hav to drive out a bit... Costas esmarelda... Now ya hav me dreamin... Anyways hope that helps a ikle bit
