Hotel Cala di Volpe, Costa Smeralda
More photosExpert 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.”

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.

Lovely place, great location!
I would like to share a very unpleasant experience we had while staying at beautiful Hotel Cala di Volpe. We ordered a drink at the bar and got a plate with olives and some puff pastry, we thought it was lovely! My friend took one and I took two, there were a handful of olives and some puff pastries left, when suddenly a waiter arrived, took the plates, threw all the food away (in front of our eyes as we were sitting right behind the bar where we could see through the glass) and brought out a new filled plate even though we were not asked and certainly not hungry anymore. I understand that you are a luxury collection hotel and that your guests expect a certain amount of attention and luxury lifestyle but this is pure foodwaste and I‘m sure none of your guests do explicitely ask for you to remove their started plates and exchange them with new ones even though they have half of it left! It was heartbreaking to see how Hotel Cala di Volpe carelessly handels foodwaste and certainly left a very bitter taste to our stay. Even more as everything else was exceptionally perfect.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this and hopefully you might improve with time regarding this matter.

Hotel Regina d’Arborea, Oristano
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Palatial elegance and prime location are the twin attractions at this hotel on Oristano’s main square. Four of the seven rooms are downright magnificent, with 7m-high ceilings, restored ceiling frescoes and original patterned floors.”
7 Pines Resort, Costa Smeralda
Forbes + 1 more“Tucked among 37 acres of lush green foliage, 7Pines Resort Sardinia more than lives up to its botanical branding. The resort’s first impression is that of an ultra-luxurious Italian villa, but once you take a stroll around the gorgeously manicured grounds, you feel an air of laid-back sophistication warmly welcoming you to paradise.”
Faro Capo Spartivento, Chia
Fodors“Atop a cliff at the end of a rocky track on Sardinia’s southernmost tip, a working lighthouse dating from 1856 contains this unusual hotel—a self-described “door suspended between the sky and the sea”—where it’s easy to switch off and tune out amid luxurious surroundings. It’s small and select, but still has space for lounges and a library, all blending vintage furnishings with elegant modern pieces.”
Su Gologone, Oliena
Lonely Planet + 2 more“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.”
