The hotel is set in a beautiful location overlooking a lovely bay. All of the staff are wonderful and very helpful. Our room was a ground floor with a large terrace. We visited in late May and expected bars and restaurants to be all fully opened, they weren’t. In fact we only had four options and quite a distance from the hotel and certainly not walking distance. After the first day and enquiring about the cost of taxis into nearby Porto Rotondo (6 minute drive €20 each way) we decided that we needed to hire a car. The hotel was very helpful and arranged this through them. We ate in the hotel for two days, but for us the food was not very good and was very expensive along with the drinks. Please note there is a service charge per person per plate at around €4 per person. We expected a fairly substantial bill for the two days we ate and drank at the hotel but we were surprised/ shocked at the cost, €288.00 inc €30 city taxes! A lovely peaceful holiday but we should have arranged a hire car from the beginning and travelled out for our meals.

“Fantastic views at older property”

From Olbia Airport it’s a windy road to head down to this property and the taxi will cost 55-60€. Absolutely beautiful views if facing the water and the grounds are manicured beautifully.

From Olbia Airport it’s a windy road to head down to this property and the taxi will cost 55-60€. Absolutely beautiful views if facing the water and the grounds are manicured beautifully. The room was big with high ceilings and a tiny balcony with cafe chairs and table to enjoy the view. The tall closet in the room somewhat separates the space into two: queen bed on one side and sofa/pullout bed with small sitting nook and chairs on the other. Comfort isn’t a selling point. Neither is cleanliness: the upholstered chairs were dingy and the bathroom didn’t feel clean with inside the spacious shower having moldy corners/edges. And the wifi is rubbish. But the staff working here are friendly and incredibly helpful. The breakfast buffet is ok and you can request eggs made to order. The pasta dishes at dinner were great but the snack bar during the day is forgettable. There is not a nearby walkable market. At least not when we were there just before Easter (before the season started). The staff and the views are what made our short stay here enjoyable.
