Santa Teresina Trip

Overall, this hotel served its purpose for us: cheap, close to the busstop servicing the airport and urban routes, and able to accommodate late check-in. The hotel itself is rather dated with basic amenities, but clean. Front-desk staff were polite and accommodating to most requests. Only things causing significant discomfort were 1) room was full of mosquitos despite us not opening the windows once, and 2) they insisted on keeping our passports at the front desk in an unsecured cubby for the entire duration of our stay! We requested they use our driver’s licenses as alternate government ID with signature/ address/ DOB, but they refused. It made us very uncomfortable leaving our passports behind in possession of a stranger, but we had nowhere else to go so late in the evening. Were relieved to check out and get our documents back.

This hotel has fantastic views in multiple directions, and many of the rooms have private terraces. The private beach with bar and beds amongst the rocks was an unexpected amenity that we loved. The pool is small but is nestled between small cliffs...truly unique. The location was quiet and only a few minutes from the center of La Maddalena, but don't expect to easily walk into town...it was about 1.5 miles, which is steeply uphill on the return. We recommend this location if you have a car.

Amazing service by the receptionist and his wife. Thank you for being so kind.

The location was excellent. Room was clean and comfortable.

Very helpful and friendly staff
