Hotel Abi d’Oru 5*
Location – the resort of Porto Rotondo among the charming landscapes of the Marinella Bay. From the windows of the wonderful rooms with lovely decor and comfortable furniture, views of the Costa Smeralda coast or the emerald thickets of the tropical garden open. A path through the garden leads to the well-maintained beach with white clean sand. The distance to the private beach area with a row of umbrellas and sun loungers is only 150 meters.
The complex has a 5-star status, but even if it had no tourist distinctions, it would still not disappoint the expectations of guests who chose it for an exciting vacation. Dining is offered in two formats: BB – breakfast only, HB – half board (breakfast + dinner). Regular clients strongly recommend choosing the second option, as the chefs know their culinary business all too well.
Rooms are decorated without excessive, often annoying pomp. However, all room categories have a cozy balcony or a lovely terrace in the fresh air. Among the services: spa complex, animation for adults and children, transfer to/from the airport, parking for cars, pool with hydromassage, internet terminal, free delivery to the center of Porto Rotondo. Guests’ verdict: you want to return here again.
Colonna Resort 5*
It holds the record for the number of swimming pools on its territory. There are always places on sun loungers under umbrellas near the seven artificial and well-maintained reservoirs. Water pleasures are not limited to the necklace of pools. Guests have at their disposal a luxurious sandy beach and a picturesque “place in the sun” on comfortable loungers by the rocks.
Classic double and triple standard rooms are tastefully decorated. From the balconies, enchanting views of the bay and the vast Tyrrhenian Sea open. The highlight of the design is the ethnic motifs of Sardinia. From a bird’s eye view, it resembles a fairy-tale city from old Italian legends.
Buildings surrounded by lush vegetation do not disappoint the impression even with a more detailed inspection. The chefs of the establishment compete daily in preparing intricate Mediterranean dishes that are impossible to resist and serve them with special chic.
Among the service offers, pleasant wellness procedures in the spa complex and a perfectly equipped fitness room stand out. For those who prefer lazy leisure, a diligent concierge service is organized, including the delivery of food and drinks from the restaurant directly to the room. The magnificent kingdom softly sinks into the southern greenery of the 50,000 sqm park, and no guest can usually resist the charm of the place.
Cala Di Volpe, a Luxury Collection Hotel 5*
The establishment’s pride is maximum attention to every guest. From the first moment of stay in the hotel complex, all guests are surrounded by the vigilant attention of the staff. Location – the vicinity of the fashionable resort of Porto Cervo. A special pride is the private beach with white-golden sand, which can be reached by boat or on foot.
Tourists with limited physical abilities and those who do not want to walk to the beach area can always use the free shuttle to the coast. The shuttle operates every 30 minutes. Among the enticing service offers: spa center, cosmetic and wellness procedures, relaxing full-body massage, well-equipped fitness room, ATM for currency exchange, two pools under the enchanting Italian sky.
One of the outdoor pools especially pleases the eye with its exotic external appearance. The artificial pond with warm seawater is framed by colorful huts, near which a “comfort zone” of umbrellas and sun loungers is created. Sports enthusiasts will undoubtedly be delighted with the presence of three tennis courts with soft artificial grass underfoot.
In the restaurants, guests are most often served Mediterranean and Sardinian cuisine. Luxurious rooms with pleasant design and beautiful furnishings are cleaned twice a day. The staff are incredibly proud of the fact that many tourists have long become regular clients of this hotel residence in Cala di Volpe Bay.
Colonna Grand Hotel Capo Testa 5*
Location – the town of Santa Teresa Gallura. Experienced tourists have noted that exciting excursions to Corsica depart from here. The locals love their wonderful island so much that they used only Mediterranean and Sardinian motifs in the architectural style of the hotel complex.
The decoration of the territory is shady alleys with exotic plants and a duo of colorful pools with stone waterfalls and a hydromassage area. The views from the windows in different room categories vary but do not disappoint anyone. Some travelers constantly see the “same old sea” picture, as in the famous Italian comedy “Signor Robinson.”
Other guests enjoy the plantations of subtropical flora. The nearest marine bay is the picturesque land of Capo Testa. The coastline is all covered with soft white sand, which you just want to walk on for hours at sunset when the sun hides behind the sea.
The official name of the beach is Rena di Ponente; in Sardinia, it is known for its especially beautiful shades of seawater. Regarding food, everything is top-notch. Guests can choose the mode: breakfast only, which can be offered in buffet format or continental style. Those wishing can always order lunch and dinner in the restaurant from the Mediterranean or local dishes with an authentic character.
Pullman Timi Ama Sardegna 5*
The main advantage is its private beach with the cleanest water, velvet sand without annoying rock inclusions and algae. Another plus is the remoteness from civilization, which guarantees solitude and tranquility. There are several picturesque beaches in the vicinity, each with its own character.
Riso Beach with shimmering golden sand in the sun is chosen by swimming enthusiasts, Porto Giunco Beach and Simius Beach with white silky sand are usually visited by surf fans. Spacious rooms, although not royal chambers in terms of furniture and decor, differ in almost homely coziness and thoughtful service.
The staff automatically upgrades rooms by category if higher-level rooms are available. The windows offer pleasant views of the park area or the marine bay.
Among the useful service amenities: transfer to/from Sardinia Airport, outdoor pool with a line of umbrellas and sun loungers, bar with an extensive wine list and a collection of intricate cocktails. On rare stormy days on the seaside, guests are rescued by the magnificent quartet of restaurants where you can have private gatherings with a glass of wine or order culinary masterpieces from caring chefs.
La Villa del Re — Adults Only 5*
A cozy resort paradise on the coast in this hotel creates the impression of complete seclusion from the noisy world. The territory is small but very well-maintained. The contingent of vacationers – tourists of elegant age from European countries. Here you will not often hear loud cries of young travelers; it feels like this time you came to meet the sea somewhere on a deserted island.
The verdict of regular clients: excellent service corresponds to a reasonable price. The comfortable private beach with soft sun loungers and shade canopies invites you to indulge in water pleasures. If you are tired of beach vacations, welcome to the lovely pool with loungers.
In the evenings, the marine bay in the town of Costa Rei is painted in such exotic colors that each sunset seems like a fabulous miracle of nature. The list of rooms includes standard options and junior suites with sea views, but their luxurious setting with notes of true aristocratic charm is impressive. The food in the restaurant and the drinks in the bar are delightful and delicious.
Enterprising travelers tried to change this corner of Sardinia for other places but suffered a complete fiasco. Even seemingly more luxurious complexes paled in comparison to the romantic atmosphere of Cala Sinzias beach and its enchanting surroundings. The tourists’ summary resulted in a clear message: if your soul and heart crave a bit of magical Mediterranean magic, you won’t find a better place on the island of Sardinia.
Hotel Corte Bianca, Bovi’s Hotels — Adults Only 4*
Landmark – Marina di Cardedu resort area. From the first minute, guests are greeted by a charming park with exotic plants, two pools with warm turquoise water, and an inviting relaxation area with all the signs of relaxing comfort. The overall pleasant impression is complemented by views from the room windows of the pool area and the paradisiacal southern garden. The concept of the hotel complex – a squad of elegant houses stylized as bungalows.
The restaurant’s specialty with a large terrace overlooking the bay is Sardinian cuisine dishes. The list of service offers includes an excursion office offering exciting journeys around Sardinia, animation events, and sports competitions for active tourists. The territory has its well-maintained tennis court. Water lovers will be delighted with the presence of private small jacuzzi baths on the open terraces of the rooms and soft comfortable furniture in all rooms.
Visiting the picturesque beach, where you won’t meet outsiders, also causes no complaints. The beach area is covered with fine pebbles, which look more like large sand crystals. There are other swimming spots on beaches in the surroundings: Spiaggia della Marina di Cardedu, Spiaggia di Foddini, Spiaggia di Museddu, or Spiaggia di Planargia. The distance to them does not exceed 300 to 1,000 meters.
Hotel Club Saraceno — Bovis Hotels 4*
A long-time favorite of the tourist public. The complex is highly rated for quality service on the most famous booking sites. Located in the resort village of San Gimignano, it boasts a private beach with soft yellow sand. A row of sun loungers and umbrellas is always ready to welcome guests in its cozy embrace; in the evenings, the seaside turns into an improvised “cinema.”
There are always spectators who come to watch the most beautiful sunsets over the Mediterranean Sea. The design of the rooms in the hotel complex is done in warm and bright Mediterranean motifs, with views of the bay or islands of subtropical greenery in the luxurious park from the windows.
During the high beach season, lively animators diligently prepare exciting programs for guests. During this period, a kids’ club operates for younger travelers, and guests are offered sea tours of the surroundings on white-winged yachts or fascinating excursions to Sardinian attractions.
Dining at the establishment is organized in the beloved buffet format. If desired, you can choose one of three types of appetite satisfaction: breakfast with amazing pastries and excellent coffee on the open patio, full lunch, and dinner with a wide selection of Mediterranean dishes. Between meals, waiters offer guests light snacks and drinks, which can be ordered at the bar.
El Faro Hotel & Spa 4*
The hospitable shelter for this option is given by the Porto Conte resort, the true owner of the territories is Cape Capo Caccia. The highlight of the location is the proximity to the national natural reserve with representatives of rare fauna and flora. Curious animals live so comfortably on the island that you can unexpectedly meet a family of deer strolling calmly or a nimble boar running about its business.
Guests of the hotel complex and residents of the reserve coexist peacefully, and if desired, you can always go for a walk in the unique park. A small downside noted by travelers is the entrance to the sea on the private beach from the pontoon. This measure is forced by the picturesque but rocky shore. For those who prefer swimming in the pool, everything in this area is equipped for complete relaxation and comfort.
Another tiny downside seemed to be the not-so-powerful soundproofing to the guests. Overall, it is always so quiet and secluded here that everyone sleeps and rests perfectly at night without a hitch, and certainly without sharp noise and loud events.
The residence boasts stunning views from balconies and terraces of the seaside and very stylish design of all rooms. Among the enticing service offers, travelers highlighted the excellent work of the spa complex with a cascade of wellness procedures.
Charme Hotel La Bitta Arbatax 4*
The sea near the hotel complex is always so calm and peaceful that it resembles a giant pool with azure cool water. Besides the private cozy beach, you can drive and use the services of beach areas: Spiaggia Le Palme and San Gemiliano Beach. The distance to them is 600-700 meters, and many island guests walk to the shores with white sandy cover.
The entrance to the sea is complicated by rocky surprises, but this does not upset guests because just 50 meters away is a beautiful gentle entrance to the water, suitable even for children and elderly tourists. Catering issues are handled by a luxurious restaurant with scenic “pictures” of the sea and a bar with drinks of all kinds.
If the menu seems insufficient to the guests, there are two more restaurant-type catering points within 300 meters. The daily morning meal gathers travelers at the table with a wide selection of culinary products and free access to their choice. The status is a “buffet,” which is already famous for gluten-free dishes, dietary masterpieces, and excellent coffee with fluffy milk foam.
The “commanding city” in the surroundings is Arbatax, known in Sardinia for its important seaport. Some tourists choose this place as a transit point before a sea cruise, then regret they can’t spend the entire long-awaited vacation here.
Bagaglino I Giardini Di Porto Cervo 4*
An illustration to an old Italian fairy tale come to life. Miniature two and three-story houses are scattered on the mountainside. In the mysterious Mediterranean garden, ponds with colorful fish, intricate bridges over fast-running streams, and exotic oases of subtropical vegetation are hidden.
Landscape designers have clearly worked hard here, leaving tourists a little Sardinian village with authentic touches to the picturesque portrait. Temporary residents of this residence constantly have a mythical feeling that a time machine has transported them to an old Italian province, from which they do not want to return to the realities of the modern world.
The ensemble of cozy apartments owns a generous “gift” of nature in the form of an extraordinarily beautiful bay, private beach with signs of civilization in the form of umbrellas and sun loungers, nimble boats calling for a sea trip. The water at the shoreline resembles the color of precious emeralds, and the sand is seemingly washed to whiteness by diligent gnomes at night.
All room categories have kitchen areas with household appliances and dining utensils, but no one intends to force the fairer sex to stand at the stove. The hotel complex has a restaurant with a wide selection of national dishes; the hosts are loyal to travelers with pets and accommodate them unconditionally.
Hotel Dei Pini 4*
Location – a pine forest near the Fertilia resort. The owner of marine souls – the Alghero Bay. Tourists here have all the pleasures of the sandy Bombarde beach at their disposal, and the role of “supplier” of the cleanest and most fragrant oxygen is taken by the Porto Conte Nature Park. Right next to the entrance to the territory, there is a bus stop, from where curious tourists can go on adventures and get to know the exotic island at any time.
The standard range of service offers is fully represented. For guests’ convenience, there is an outdoor pool, a bartender who knows his craft, and the doors of the wellness spa center are always hospitably open.
The accommodation is incredibly proud of its collection of vintage wines and the chefs’ ability to satisfy the discerning tastes of guests. In the summer season, an improvised “school” for windsurfing and sailing enthusiasts operates on the seaside.
On the beach, travelers are offered a wide selection of refreshing drinks and light snacks. After sunset, guests love to gather on the open terrace of the restaurant to admire the bright southern stars decorating the inky darkness of the sky and talk about the charms of the exotic island. Some tourists noted that, unfortunately, there are no Russian-speaking staff members, which sometimes creates language barriers in communication.
Hotel Ristorante Calamosca 3*
The 3* status for the hotel complex is not a reason to consider the establishment an unreliable C-student. The hotel found refuge in the picturesque surroundings of Cagliari and has convenient access to a well-maintained beach. The unfortunate downside is the rocky shore, but the Calamosca Bay is so picturesque that tourists pay little attention to this swimming hindrance. A continental breakfast is included in the price of all room categories.
Its unquestionable highlight is fresh pastries and excellent coffee. The chefs in the restaurant know how to cook Italian cuisine, especially Neapolitan pizza with an assortment of hearty cheeses. Among the service offers: transfer to/from Cagliari Airport, bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, parking for rented cars if necessary.
The staff gladly welcome guests with pets, and umbrellas and sun loungers are provided free of charge in the private beach area.
Room categories are similar to each other and belong to the standard option for two people. Beach enthusiasts can walk to the sandy Poetto Beach to swim, engage in water sports, or learn the basics of surfing. The beach area has a well-developed infrastructure with cafes and souvenir shops.
Residence Porto Mannu 3*
Location – Sardinian resort Palau. The establishment has its own, though not very large, beach and a cozy outdoor pool. Room categories are divided into familiar “standards” and apartments with kitchens where you can cook your meals. The two-bedroom apartments can comfortably accommodate a large group or family of 6-7 people. High-speed Wi-Fi is available in public areas.
The complex is surrounded by lush greenery, and the windows of the rooms offer views of either the park area or the marine bay. The “treasury” includes a spa area with a collection of pleasant wellness procedures and free parking for cars. For active tourists, a beach volleyball court is equipped.
There are five beaches in the vicinity to suit every taste. The coastal areas of Spiaggia di Vena Longa and Spiaggia di Portu Mannu are only 100 meters away. To the beach plantations Spiaggia del Golfo delle Saline Spiaggia di Cala Capra Spiaggetta La Contralta is just under 1 km, but experienced tourists advise visiting them anyway.
Hotel Onda Marina 3*
The establishment can be found on the map in the San Teodoro resort area. The status of the complex fully meets the requirements of international 3* standards in the European interpretation. One of the main advantages, according to regular clients, is the presence of the chic restaurant La Taverna degli Artisti opposite, with excellent national dishes and democratic prices for Sardinia. The hotel complex has other tourist attractions.
A charming sandy beach is only 100 meters away, dense thickets of tropical plants in a wonderful garden on the territory, aquamarine waters of the Mediterranean Sea, where sometimes annoying omnipresent algae “wander.” The atmosphere in the rooms is concise but quite comfortable. The balconies offer wonderful views of the coastline and the dendropark with exotic flora.
It’s so nice to sit here in the fresh air with a cup of aromatic coffee or a glass of local wine. And the chefs do not disappoint guests at breakfast with the taste of the dishes or their variety. Rooms are designed for 2-4 guests, and among popular service amenities are: transfer to/from the airport, well-maintained beach with umbrellas and sun loungers, bar with a good selection of alcohol, juices, and cocktails.
