The pictures of the hotel are a bit better than the property itself. The hotel is a bit tired. We arrived not in the season, so the bar on the terrace wasn’t set up yet, but the view from the top is amazing, and jacuzzi on the rooftop is super cool. Must be nice during the season. Had to ask for the upgrade and our bottle of wine (part of VIP benefits), but once received - we had an amazing room with a wonderful view and a bottle of nice Vermentino. Breakfast is very good!

This is a lovely hotel. The room was beautifully decorated and the view spectacular. I highly recommend a room with a balcony and sea view. There are many excellent restaurants in walking distance. The hot tub on the top floor with views to the sea was a bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I recommend highly!!

Short stay in quiet and clean surroundings
Comfortable, spacious and very clean room for our 2 night stay. Breakfast typical for those on offer on the island - compared with other stays during our holiday we had better but also far worse! Quiet hotel; the rooftop bar was lovely we had it to ourselves most of the time. Within walking distance of restaurants and the port. Overall we found the quality of food/drinks in the area to be very overpriced for the quality. Glad we experienced the beautiful beaches nearby (by car) but equally that we only spent a few days in this part of the island. Would recommend this hotel if in the area.

The hotel is older, nice but the major issue that the A/C does not work. I asked the desk to check on it and they sent someone up. That person said everything was ok. When we got back to the room it was even hotter than before. We had to find a new hotel. When we check out early, they even charged us for the day we checked out as they said they would not have time to rent it again. If the room was of a decent temp we would not have to had check out, so I feel sorry for who ever they rented it to. Other than that, we email to see if we could came in a day before. Instead of extending our stay like their email said. They canceled our reservations, then found a way to accommodate us. And, even that the sign says the roof top bar opens at a certain time, they open when they want. So if you need a hot room with running water, this is a good place.

Dear Mrs Kenny, I have to say that you are a bit right about the air conditioning in your room during your stay even if the temperature inside was not HOT but 24 degree and if you tell us only in the afternoon that you want to leave the hotel it's clear that you should pay the next night, expecially if the reason is this HOT temperature in the room. The opening time for the roof top bar is written: FROM 15.00 - TO 23.00 and our bar lady Anna is always at your diposal...

The location was perfect! Great restaurants all around the hotel and just a ten min walk to the marina to grab the ferry over to the main town. The staff was beyond helpful for every little thing. Breakfast by the pool was delicious and the service was always great. So happy we chose to stay here and would definitely stay again! Ps the sunset from the rooftop is not to be missed!

Easy to find and great staff. Located within a short walk of some great restaurants (2-3 minutes) and a longer walk to the port (20 min) The catering and waiting staff are superb The roof top sun area has great views of the are and gives great protection from the sun I'd recommend hiring a car to explore the wider area

The hotel is very well situated on a hilltop yet very close to the downtown area and the local because. It is surrounded by restaurants as well. The hotel staff is one of the most kind and friendly I have ever seen.

Lovely hotel
This is a lovely hotel with convenient parking. It is close to nice restaurants and it is possible to walk to a supermarket. The pool is ok but a little small. The staff through out the hotel were really friendly and helpful. We used the car to get around so I cannot comment on the location to the beach

A lovely hotel, very convenient for exploring the area. Nice pool and garden area and plenty of parking. Good restaurants within a short walk but a bit too far away from Porto Cervo, if that's what you are looking for.

Better than expected!
Great rooftop sun deck with view of the Emerald Coast. Celebrated my birthday up there with wine & cheese from the local market across the street, then followed that with a delicious seafood dinner at Spinnaker Restsurant, also across the street. Helpful staff. Quiet neighborhood for sleeping. Free safe parking in back.

Nice, but breakfast needs improving
Lovely helpful staff, who were very kind in trying to accommodate us when we weren't happy with our room. Our first room was very small and overlooked the side of the hotel, despite the fact it was supposed to be suitable for 3 people and overlooking the terrace. We were moved after 2 days to a much larger room, with a balcony, which was lovely, and made such a difference to the holiday. The beds are very hard, but this suited us fine. The rooms have a fridge which is useful. The hotel decor is lovely, especially the reception floor, but the breakfast area is rather awkward and uninviting. The roof terrace is fabulous. The hotel was a little lacking in atmosphere, but that may be because we were there towards the end of the season. There was a welcome glass of prosecco, which was a nice touch. The breakfast was just about OK if you like cake and cold pastries. Although there were cereals, the milk was UHT, rather than fresh, and there were always the dregs of scrambled egg and lardons, no matter what time we seemed to arrive. Only once did we have fresh egg. There was also a lack of fresh fruit/fruit salad or healthier options. There was a plate of melon or pineapple, but once it was gone, it was gone and not replaced. Fresh bread was also sparse, and the same cheese and ham was on offer each day. Only just a 4 star. Trying, but could try harder. Lovely staff. Paper maps would be very helpful, rather than just sending a map via email.

Pictures deceiving
The hotel pictured in the listing was far more elegant than the tacky one I found on arrival. Although the hotel staff were sweet, my room was flush with the hotel pool outside my window .This meant that from dawm until dusk there were guests splashing around outside of my room, ruining any sense of peace. In addition, the ratings for the building, public areas and my room were quite inflated considering that the place had the feel of a 50's era motel.

Fabulous rooftop area - beware rock hard beds
Great rooftop terrace with two hot tubs, loungers, chairs, tables and amazing views over sea to front and mountains to rear - the best feature of this hotel by far. Breakfast buffet is not what you'd expect from four star. Very basic and little change in a week. They'lol cook eggs if asked but don't volunteer this info. Bed was quite unbelievably hard and, as we arrived late at night, no possibility of changing it that night so we barely slept. We both like quite firm mattresses but this was literally like laying on a wooden board. Reception staff were stony faced when we asked for something to be done next morning - simply saying "some people like it like that". The issue was resolved but with pretty bad grace - again not what you'd expect in a four star hotel.

Nice clean hotel just outside Porto Cervo
Decent hotel in Liscia di Vacca, a village within easy reach of Porto Cervo. We had a car so it was easy to access Porto Cervo and surrounding areas. There are several good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Rooms were clean, and the balcony was a nice feature. There is a small pool, and a rooftop with excellent views and a jacuzzi.

Fantastic staff and good value for money in Cervo
We had a fantastic 6 nights and the staff were all excellent and couldn't do enough for us. Close to great restaurants and walkable to Porto Cervo. The rooftop jacuzzi was hardly ever used and is a great secret for a sundown prosecco!

Thank you Dolce Vita!
We had a lovely week at the Dolce Vita Hotel. The perfect location to explore the Costa Smeralda and a beautiful view from the rooftop terrace. The restaurants within walking distance were brilliant (Spinnaker, Retro & Aruana Churrascaria) and the breakfast was always great. Would highly recommend booking a boat trip on Isabella 1986 through the hotel - this was a highlight of our trip! All in all a great stay - thank you Dolce Vita.

Fantastic!
We had such a fantastic stay here. Staff was incredible and so polite. Room was nice and very clean. Bathroom was perfect. The bed was a bit more firm than my liking. Breakfast was great every morning, plenty of options. Very nice location, easy to get to so many beautiful places close by. Nice pool and bar area too. Highly recommend!!!
