Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Treat yourself to a spot of rural luxury at Su Gologone, nestled in glorious countryside 7km east of Oliena. Rooms are decorated with original artworks and handicrafts, and the facilities are top notch – it has a pool, a spa, a wine cellar and a restaurant, which is considered one of Sardinia’s best.”

Fodors review:

“Just southeast of Nuoro, in the foothills of the Supramonte range, Su Gologone combines luxury with rural flavor in guest rooms that feel like country retreats (exposed beams, wooden chests, traditional Sardinian fabrics) and a rustic restaurant.”

Telegraph review:

“The Palimodde family’s rambling mountain lodge has long been a haven for art and nature lovers – a spot at once secluded yet convivial. Today, designer Giovanna Palimodde continues the hotel’s creative ethos with art and craft workshops and décor inspired by the colours of the Sardinian landscape.”

Lovely hotel but restaurant disappointed

Location was lovely breakfast was very good

The menu in the restaurant was limited to pasta and meats No seafood at all so a heavy meal served very quickly Seemed like a mass produced restaurant Get them in and out as quickly as possible

a place like in a dream

absolutely stunning - there is something to discover in every corner! the nature surrounding the property is beautiful, especially the views from the dream and from the wishes terraces. the staff at the property are incredible, this is a hotel at its finest!

not a problem for me but travelers should know that there are lots of stairs everywhere across the property, and for people with limited mobility this may be challenging

Fabulous

The location is fabulous and the settings are beautiful as are many of the hotel's activities.

Room was rather small and a bit dark, and restaurant menu was mostly meat (apparently there were fish specials that the wait staff neglected to mention)

Beautiful retreat in the heart of the Nuoro area.

Beautiful setting. Huge pool to cool down in after a hot day touring. Wonderful sunset views looking at the sheer faces of the mountain. Great drinks and appetizers. Fantastic art work from Sardinia all around the property. The Italian sheets were some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Hotel is older and could do with some painting and trimming of the lush gardens.

It was a bit pricey compared to the rest of our stay in Sardinia. We thought we would enjoy the highly rated restaurant. We were unaware that all of the entrees were large pieces of roast meat cooked over wood fires. Unfortunately, we do not eat meat, our mistake.

Exceptional

This was just an amazingly special place, and I feel so grateful that I was able to spend 3 nights here. The staff were all so great. I loved exploring this property. Staff was able to get creative and accommodate to make sure we had a good experience. We really wanted to do the wine tasting but it was just the two of us, so they made sure to ask other guests if they would be interested and were able to get us in one night. This was a highlight as we tasted lovely Sardinian wines and learned a lot about the history and culture of the island. Small gym, but still nice to have some equipment to workout on. Food was amazing at all of the restaurants.

Not everything is catered for couples or small groups. For example, their website has all of their different experiences listed, but it's not guaranteed and you'll need at least 6 people to book for things like cooking classes, wine tasting, etc.

Very good

This is an experience hotel, tucked away in the picturesque hills of Sardinia. I was unsure what 'experience' meant in the context of this hotel but when we arrived, it was clearly the extremely arty and well-thought-out dining, sitting and walking areas in the hotel. For example, you can have dinner in the herb garden at long tables. The Tableau bar is a stunning place overlooking the hills, they have a set menu in the 'Basket of Bread' which is an outside dining area with local ladies making bread using traditional methods. The pool area is just lovely and such a relaxing place. It is all very atmospheric. We had a suite which had a great outside area with a bathtub overlooking the hills.

Although this is a magical place and well worth the visit, some of the areas are a bit run down. The crazy golf has not been touched for years along with the tennis and football courts. The corridors leading to the rooms are gloomy and uninviting with old arty relics stuck on the walls. These areas could do with being modernised. The fixtures and fittings are old fashioned, however, perhaps this is in keeping with the hippy, 60's vibe of the hotel but if you are looking for these luxurious touches then you may not enjoy this place so much.

An authentically typical Sardinian experience done in style.

We enjoyed the authentic Sardinian food at the typical a la carte restaurant. The Magic Tablao bar was a cool experience also along the the artisan stores alongside.

Fabulous

Fantastic location, ambience and atmosphere. The hotel is a mix of relaxing wellness, sardinian art museum and cottage in the middle of typical vegetation and breath-taking panoramas. The room was very confortable, with a small terrace and fully equipped bathroom.

A little bit noisy, especially when guests would open their room doors by heavily tingling the key holder against the lock.

A special one off hotel in a stunning location

This is a unique place set amongst beautiful countryside. The gardens are stunning , you can get lost wandering around them. Flowers and shrubs under tress just lovely, with lots of private seating areas tucked away. The food is typical local Sardinian - we enjoyed most of it but the roasted pork was too fatty for our liking. They have local special evenings where they do vegetarian or bread based nights - set menu. We really enjoyed the bread one - so much food - pace yourself, and great to watch it being made in front of you. The local scenery is stunning - we loved sitting in one of the bars and watching sunset. V nice swimming pool and gardens and excellent pool bar close by where we had a v nice lunch. A couple of nights here was about right.

The bathroom was poor - it had a strange bath with a hand shower unit but no glass to stop you soaking the floor. The hand basins were odd - one didn't give hot water , the other the water went hot and cold. We were upgraded by the hotel but the room was still quite compact with little room for cases. Bed was ok but not especially comfortable

Magical hotel

A magical place, completely unique with every space thoughtfully and artistically designed. Art and objets d'art in every nook, fully integrated into the building and the environment. Plenty of spaces to sit in the grounds.. Beautiful location on the edge of the national park. Spotlessly clean, very helpful staff.

Food a little disappointing - rather heavy at dinner (huge portions and no fish main course options).. Breakfast good. Pool open too late to have a pre breakfast swim. Pool opens at 9 (ish) and breakfast window is 8.00- 10.00. Would be good to be able to swim from.7 am. Area around the pool a bit small for the size of the pool (huge and lovely) and the seating can be crowded. It is not landscaped and designed to the same exceptional standard as the rest if the hotel.

Stunning adventure of a place with magical views that will last in my day dreams for a lifetime!

Wonderful welcome/front desk staff, extremely accommodating and thoughtful. The whole property is a dream-gorgeous vistas around every bend. Rooms were lovely and well appointed. Extremely responsive front desk and porters. Pool was beautiful. Food was great. My only slight complaint is the restaurant staff is not as welcoming.

Not to be missed

A unique and unforgettable stay. The staff and the hotel's founders clearly put a lot of thought and energy into creating less of a hotel and more of an experience. Su Gologone truly earns its name as an experience hotel.
