Reviews and Ratings
The hotel stands right next to the main road, offering a balcony as we had booked. The rooms, though a bit stark with many hard surfaces, still provide a comfortable stay. The service from Rosella, the Reception team, and the manager was exceptional, going above and beyond to assist us. The location on the 'edge of town' in Porto Cervo grants easy access to the city center while enjoying a fabulous view of Costa Smeralda. The dining experience, mainly continental style, showcased a variety of options, but can run out quickly in the morning. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor room ambiance issues and dining limitations.
The hotel offered a really comfortable stay with a fabulous walk-in shower. The convenience of having 2 bathrooms was a plus, although the 'superior double room' had two singles pushed together and the pillows could use an upgrade. The room felt a bit stark with plenty of hard surfaces, lacking a cozy feel.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were over-valued for what they are charging but having a balcony with a nice view was a plus. However, the rooms were rather small. On the bright side, the terrace offered stunning views of Porto Cervo.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were private with a nice balcony overlooking the garden and pool, although they were on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly helpful and providing great advice on nearby attractions. The location on the hillside offered stunning views of the marina but was still conveniently close to restaurants and the harbor path. The dining experience was top-notch, especially with the fantastic view of Porto Cervo harbor. Overall, a wonderful place for a relaxing retreat.
