Perfect location right near the ferry. Plenty of parking. The staff were so pleasant and very helpful. The hotel is at the edge of town, with restaurants and shops right there. I would definitely recommend this hotel if staying on the island.

Great hotel right in front of the harbour where the ferries to/from Palau come and go every 20 mins or so. Staff was kind and helpful and our room was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed. Many bars and restaurants nearby. Somewhat unlucky that a rare occurrence for Sardinia (intense rain in April) caused the breakfast room to be affected by water leaking from the top and a breakfast experience less pleasant than it could have been. Would suggest the hotel to accelerate remedial works asap so that it doesn't happen again.

First and foremost, a huge thank you to Maria-Louisa, Mirianna, Roberto, and all other staff we connected with for such a pleasant stay! Your hospitality and such positive attitude was everything we needed to make this one of our bests stays. The hotel rooms and common spaces are clean and functional. The breakfast had many options and the hotel location is prime being very close to the ferries, taxi stand, restaurants, and even the bike rental shop. You can’t go wrong for booking here
