leaving

atmosphere, silence, nature,

The hotel is beautiful and well kept. Location perfect. But the best thing about the hotel is the wonderful employees. Especially Aldo at the bar!!!! and Claudia in the restaurant!

Nothing :))

Aldo the cocktail barman made exquisite cocktails and mocktails (which our daughter enjoyed). The Caipirinha was my favourite. The food for lunch and dinner was good. The carbonara was our lunch favourite and the grouper fish for dinner with gazpacho was lovely. Everyone should visit San Pantaleo in the evening. Hotel were excellent at accommodating a yacht trip around the Maddalena islands which was a highlight of our stay in the north.

Some of the staff in the restaurant were a little cold. The hotel could have some more swimming pool activities… bat and ball, floats etc. In my opinion you shouldn’t need to pay extra for freshly squeezed orange juice or pancakes for breakfast. We did have better breakfasts elsewhere in Sardinia.

nature, staff

very nice spot, lovely house,

Stunning and amazing place - calm and relaxed luxury - super service and friendly personnel. The breakfast is really good - so is the house we lived in, the bar and the whole setting. Would go there again for sure.

Everything place amazing, people working there and the owner was on top of the top!

beautiful surrounds and buildings, lovely restaurant and breakfast. the best part was the incredible staff who were all so lovely, especially with our toddler - it warmed our hearts to be surrounded by such lovely people!

A little paradise close to the sea, the airport and so many attractions. gorgeous swimming pool with a shallow area perfect for the little ones. incredibly friendly and patient staff.

outstandingly beautiful property, very nice staff, quite rooms, private parking

20 euros per night for a baby cot felt rather expensive

the pool and bar

the bed was hard

Great you feel so welkome. Great cocktails. Super service. Really fresh high standard breakfast. Nice food die dinner.

Amazing place to be, surrounded by nature! Enjoying the best cocktail of the Costa Smeralda by the bar looking at the sunset and the swimming pool!!! Rooms very well furnished and really nice staff! The restaurant La Ciminea is a really tasting gem!

beautiful hotel located in beautiful location. it’s perfect to relaxing. staff of the hotel very nice, kind, friendly and helpful. for me top of the top.

loved the setting and the quiet athmosphere. The girls at receptions are incredibly helpful (provided us with all the information we required, even suggested where to go to buy a suitcase). The bartender was also very nice and accomodating, he made the best Americanos!

We thought that one of the waiters who attended us at breakfast was not too happy when we ordered two additional coffees (after we already had two). Perhaps he was just very busy. His colleague was very polite and made us feel welcome

location great, Italian breakfast

very food in restaurant and big main pool

second pool was not very impresive, food was deliciuos, but expencive

We stayed at this upscale country resort for a week - it is in beautiful gardens and surrounded by lovely countryside. Our suite was large with a good size bathroom but unforunately our view from the front terrace was obscured by a tall hedge (which had to be there for safety purposes but it was a shame we did not have a better view as my husband is a keen birder). The pool area was nice but it was quite windy and rainy when we were there so did not experience it to the max. The bar guy Aldo was incredible and I had a Pinacolada every day as I became addicted to them - made with fresh pineapple.

The eating options were terribly disappointing. The only restaurant on site is incredibly formal and ridiculously expensive! Our meal on the first night was over £200 for three courses each and a bottle of wine - which made it unsustainable to eat there every night. Plus the menu was very limited and a bit too 'fancy' (and we love gourmet food!). We just wanted some unpretentious Sardinian cooking. We also tried the lunch menu - one of us ordered the spaghetti in tomato sauce and it was the smallest portion I had ever seen and cost about £18. If you just want a snack, you can't get one at all (although Aldo did make us a toasted sandwich in the bar the first day we arrived on special request). It would seem sensible to make the bar area (which is on the other side of the grounds so it takes ages to get a gin and tonic if you order one in the restaurant!) into a casual dining area to give people more options. We had no choice but to drive to the local town or countryside restaurants for dinner every night which meant my husband could not drink with his meal. In fact on several occasions, we ate cheese, ham and bread on our room terrace with a lovely bottle of red purchased at the local supermarket - not to save money but just because we didn't want formal dining. A real shame for our holiday. By the way - Sardinian wine is excellent.

The setting and the villa were just perfection. The landscaping, outdoor pool and villa furnishings were fabulous. Daily breakfast was lovely - all homemade, I especially loved the homemade yogurt. Bar drinks were incredible. And the staff were all very warm and welcoming.

Unfortunately my daughter and I had some jewelry taken from our room and when we reported it to the property manager it was not handled well, she denied it. Felt violated and it tarnished our experience of our stay at this otherwise lovely property. I would not expect something like this to happen at this caliber of a property.

The estate was beautiful. The bar and restaurant staff were great. Good breakfast spread

1. clunky accommodations 2. leaks all over the rooms 3. clogged bathtub 4. no wifi when it rains 5. no umbrellas for rain; intercoms bot working so you basically get stuck 6. 3rd bedroom villa was practically unsuable..dusty sheets and uncomfy bed 7. no free water and no stores nearby.. you will be chargsd 60 eus per 750ml bottle 8. need a car or expensive taxi to get around 9. overall..they need better customer focus

the buildings were beautiful and taken care of and it was very quiet

the paint in the bathroom was coming off. The handle to get into the suite was off and not straight, I would have expected it to be more perfect for this price.

Amazing pool, super clean, drinks at Aldo’s and friendliness of the staff

Outdated room, leaking A/C, unpaved entrance, overpriced restaurant (vs quality of food)

It is a beautiful spot. Lovely pool and great views. Clean. Comfortable beds good for families.

Far far too expensive for what it is. The shower was impossible to figure out and nobody came to help. No bathtub. The dinner was pretty much inedible. Fish so dry it was like canned tuna. Very confusing entrance and getting to the reception. Was confusing. Hard to find our parking lot as we stayed about 1/4k from the main building up a hill. Not good for old people and certainly not for anyone who can’t walk well . Not a good place for couples or quiet. Lots of families.

Location was good and we also liked the view from our cottage on the mountain in the distance but otherwise there was lots of negatives...

Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru was supposed to be the highlight of our stay in Sardinia. Sadly, there was several issues that made it not so. First, we were 4 people staying in a "superior" cottage but there was only 1 shower, which to make it worse had low pressure (and so the water flow was akin to drip rather than flow). As a result we had to queue in the mornings and evenings like I had done in my younger year at a camp ground... The whole property is built and furnished rather cheaply giving us a consistent feeling we were staying at a low-budget property rather than an ostensibly premium one for which we paid nearly €2000 for 3 nights (with 1 dinner). There were broken fixtures - an external light cable sticking from the wall with no light attached, TV bracket with no TV attached, external flooring tiles not finished... There was constant noise of grass being cut - during the morning, lunch time, evening... every day of our stay. There was no grass to be cut but that didn't prevent this annoyance from going on and on. I mentioned this to the reception staff who was trying to tell me that it it how they take care of the property, "to make it nice". A pile of rusty discarded fencing near our cottage was apparently not a point of concern thou. Cleanliness: The property has a fake wood flooring which was not cleaned at all prior to our arrival and possibly for some time. The floor was sticky to walk on and our feet were black from the dirt on the floor. Dinner: Nothing special but priced richly... We tried it once only upon our arrival. Breakfast: Again nothing special (compared to our experiences at other locations we stayed during our trip). Value for money: Low; would not return. Overall rating: 3 out of 10
