"We loved everything about this place! The island itself is a true gem, with charming little coves and a beautiful town center. The hotel is perched on a mountaintop, with a stunning beach club built into the rocks. The pool is absolutely charming, surrounded by dramatic cliffs. Breakfast was our favorite part—it overlooks the pool and offers lovely outdoor seating. Honestly, one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve ever had! The only thing I didn’t love was the gym, which is quite small. But other than that, everything was amazing. We would absolutely come back!"

"Such a beautiful, peaceful place and the view is just stunning. Rooms are large and has all you need included in the Kitchenette to make your own food if you wish and also to store snacks and beverages. Town of Santa Teresa Gallura is about a 12 minute drive away which has beaches and restaurants, supermarkets, and a lively night scene (visited during august). Hotel also has a parking lot which is wonderful and you need a car if you’re staying there. Staff was very pleasant as well. Best thing is the view and peaceful area and resort grounds."

8/10 Good
"Very nice property with multiple places to relax with cabanas, pools, swings, bar and access to the beach. The biggest issue is the lack of food options, especially for vegetarians. They have set menu for lunch and dinner with 2 non-vegetarian and 1 vegetarian options. Absolutely nothing worth eating in the vegetarian option either for lunch or dinner. Also, driving to few restaurants nearby is a pain because of lack of parking everywhere. Better bring food with you if staying in the property if staying for a day. If staying longer, it is a real issue. Limited parking in the property could be an issue when coming in high season."
