Hotel Cala di Volpe, Costa Smeralda
Expert reviews
“Located on the stunning Costa Smeralda, the glamorous waterfront Hotel Cala di Volpe treats its guests to spacious suites, a dazzling beach, an Olympic-size saltwater pool, a golf course, and a wellness center and spa, among other high-end facilities.”
“Long a magnet for the beautiful people, this hyperglamorous Marriott Luxury Collection hotel was designed by Jacques Couëlle to resemble an ancient Sardinian fishing village, complete with its own covered bridge; the exterior is complemented by a rustic-elegant interior with beamed ceilings, terra-cotta floors, Sardinian arts and crafts, and porticoes overlooking the Cala di Volpe Bay.”
“This iconic Sixties hotel, set on one of the most idyllic bays of Sardinia’s Emerald Coast, shot to stardom when James Bond (Roger Moore) and Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach) stayed here in The Spy Who Loved Me. Today it retains all the laid-back charm of the flower power generation.”

One of the best rooms I have ever slept in
The hotel is beautifully designed, rooms are new, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and the staff very polite and friendly. One of the best hotels I have seen.
The flies at the outside restaurant were a bit annoying. Overall I thought the food and drinks were a bit too expensive.

nice stay for our anniversary but on top of expensive rooms it is totally over priced when you get there, beware
beautiful old hotel and gardens, nice room internally, beach and pool were very good
we paid for a premium sea view room but we were right above the live music (outside our sliding door!) from the bar which played until midnight. the hotel wifi did not work, they have forbidden irons and charge a fortune for pressing/laundry service. the cost of food and drinks were completely over-priced. for example €110 per person fixed price for lunch in the pool area and €25 for a glass of local white wine. Whilst we knew it was a premium resort hotel when we booked it the pricing we experienced was excessive and we want to make sure other people understand the scale of extra expense before you book here.
