Albero Capovolto Country & Sea
Albero Capovolto Country & Sea"Super beautiful, atmospheric stay. They only have a few rooms so your stay feels really intimate. Loved the interior, stunning views over the country side and mountains and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Would 10/10 recommend!"




Le Rezidenze Desideri di Gallura
Le Rezidenze Desideri di Gallura"The apartment was well located and had a lovely balcony. The Aircon unit and facility to wash and dry our beach clothes was great. The communication from the owners was very good and the check in/out process was very straight forward. We just would have liked to see some more amenities such as a washing up/drying cloth, wine glasses and better cooking utensils ie chopping knives. These however, are very small suggestions as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. "




Marinella Residence
Marinella Residence"Very good hotel, Fantastic pizza just a couple of 100meters away and a great beach. The staff was polite but had no communication skills in English so we used Google translate to communicate."




Marina Beach

Property is located 10 minutes by walk from Porto Rotondo Marina and free parking outside the property on the street was available during our stay (before 1 June).

TUI BLUE Budoni
"The hotel is in Italian style , nice small bungalows, air conditioning which you need.Staff if always helpful and go out of your way to make a pleasant stay."
Aethos Sardinia
"The property was beautiful but the service was severely lacking. I would personally not define this hotel as a 5 star but definitely a good 4 star. Upon arrival there were no welcome drinks or any sort of welcome. We arrived early (which we had let the hotel know in advance due to this being the only flight into the island that day) and they were not able to accommodate an early check in which is completely understandable but instead we had to follow up with them 30 mins after the time of our check in to find out the room had been available and they did not notify us as they said they would so we had just been sitting around waiting. Breakfast was good. The room cleaning was bare minimum, one night they forgot to do our beds and just turned on the night lights. We had an insane amount of ANTS in our room and when we told the front desk about the issue they responded with “it’s nature”. They ended up sending a guy to spray down the room from insects and when we came back to our room there was a pile of dead ants that they didn’t clean up. We also had to remind them 3/5 days to refill our room water. There is no service at the pool and the bar by the pool took extremely long to make your drinks. Overall all the guests we spoke to seem to have had mutual feels about the hotel and the service. Truly not worth the premium price."
HOTEL BORGO DELL'ORSO
"This hotel is a hidden gem! Amazing views, delicious breakfast and incredible staff."
Grand Hotel Palau
"Great view and clean room. Some things in the room are outdated but it's nice. The walk down to the harbor and restaurants isn't bad about 13 min. Staff was very nice."
Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites
"The property was very clean, breakfast was great!! The amenities and location was so good! highly recommend. We had a wonderful stay!!"
7Pines Resort Sardinia-A Destination By Hyatt
"Incredible resort, staff, food!"
Hotel L'Aragosta
"Can’t fault them, clear and easy communication about check in (and late check in), greeted by kind and helpful staff, facilities were clean and as described. We stayed for a night on our way further south, so only a whistle stop tour really."
Abi d'Oru Sardinian Beach Resort & Spa
"It was wonderful"
Hotel Pedra Santa
"Overall, we had a lovely stay at Pedra Santa. Its biggest advantage is definitely the location—it’s excellent and makes it easy to explore Costa Smeralda. Sardinia is absolutely stunning, and with gorgeous weather every day, it was hard not to enjoy ourselves. The hotel restaurant is very good, with delicious food and an amazing sunset view that made dinner feel extra special. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. There were, however, a few areas that could be improved. On the evening we were getting ready to go to Phi Beach, we asked for an iron. Surprisingly, the staff couldn’t find one anywhere on the property. At first, I was told they only had one, then another staff member said they had several, but they were all “missing.” It was frustrating, especially when trying to get ready for dinner. I also sent two emails before our arrival with a simple request, but never received a reply. In those emails, I mentioned that I’m a travel content creator and kindly asked if it would be possible to have a room with some sort of view, as I planned to feature the hotel on my social media. Unfortunately, we were assigned a room overlooking nothing but bushes. That said, these issues didn’t have a major impact on our overall trip. Sardinia is an incredible destination, the hotel’s location is fantastic, and we still had a wonderful vacation. With a little more attention to guest communication and consistency in service, this hotel could easily provide an even be"
