Boutique hotel. It is not a new hotel so if this is what you want it is not for you. It is 50 years old and sits high up with the most wonderful view. There are photos of the hotel in the bar area which shows its history. All the staff were helpful and polite. The reception staff spoke good English and helped us in finding a hire car (delivered and left at the hotel) and a boat trip for the day (fabulous). The hotel was spotlessly clean. A wide variety of food available for breakfast. We also had lunch at the hotel one day which was also good. The only problem were the mosquitoes, so go armed! Highly recommend.

The hotel is lovely, but the suite we booked was shown with seating outside. There were loungers but nowhere to sit and have a drink or a snack. When we checked other rooms they all appeared to have some sort of seating arrangement. It was a pity as the view from the terrace is spectacular. When we mentioned this to reception they did bring a small table and chairs but we had to heave them up and down steps to use them.
There isn’t a restaurant for dinner, one of the reasons we wanted a table and chairs, we had ordered room service twice. The terrace was a huge empty space not really inviting. A few pot plants might have helped.
If you don’t have a car it’s a short walk up the hill to a few restaurants.
The staff on the whole were OK not overly friendly except for one of the front desk personnel who was downright snippy. Such a shame as it it really could be fabulous.

One night visit
Sadly we stayed only one night. Front desk upon arrival was very friendly and helpful. Room was large with a king bed and an extra sitting area/room. Breakfast was included and was excellent in a beautiful setting and a beautiful view. Very nice hotel and would highly recommend.

Beautiful classic old hotel. The staff was extremely attentive. The room was great - a real shower! - and the view from the pool area is awesome. The whole setting is magical. The only nit, and this is not unique to this property, is the pool is not heated which is apparently quite common here. Just be prepared.

Relaxing hotel with great location and views
This was a very nice hotel with a great staff. The location is on a hill overlooking Porto Cervo. The location was nice as it was away from the busy shopping area. Nice to go into to town area to shop and dine but better to get away from the busy tourists areas in the evening. They have a great complimentary breakfast served in a charming space with views and a stunning pool. The hotel arranged for a rental car to be picked up and dropped off at the hotel which was nice. Easy 5 minute drive to dining and shopping. The hotel is also within walking distance to a great restaurant and small grocery store.
