Church of Santa Maria di Betlem

Absolutely beautiful hotel and the staff are so friendly and warm. Particular thanks to Alessio who helped us speak to the airport when our bags had been lost and Barbara and Damiano in the restaurant were so lovely and helped us learn some more Italian. The rooms are big, very clean, so cool and comfortable. The staff were fantastic and the food great. Buffet breakfast was fab, as was the buffet dinner. Lunch is a la carte and kind of expensive for lunch but Sardinia is quite expensive, so it’s all relative. There is a path from the hotel to the beach which is beautiful and some sun loungers and parasols reserved for Hotel Marana (you just need tickets from reception) there are some nice beach bars but seem to only open in the day. There is a restaurant open in the evenings, Marinella, which is beautiful but very expensive. We were about to order the lobster tagliatelle which said €35 on the menu, but it was €35 per 100g and weighed 800g so it would have been €280 each for a plate of pasta which is a bit out of budget, ha! The cheapest bottle on the wine list is €70, lovely, but just be aware! The hotel is peaceful and the other guests were all really nice and polite and considerate. Taxis are limited and so expensive. You can walk to Punta Marana to eat but other than that need a taxi or the train from opposite the hotel but they stop at 6.30pm. Visit Porto Rotondo. It’s fabulous.

Everything was amazing

Thank you Hotel Stefania, for a great start for my 30th birthday! I highly recommend to stay here, we were situated in the villa just across from the main hotel and we much preferred this as it was so peaceful. A quick walk through the garden for a delicious buffet breakfast every morning set the day up perfectly. Within a heartbeat you’re then stepping onto Pittulongu beach - beautiful blue waters and plenty of food and drink options too. All of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. A wonderful first impression made by Mona at reception as she gave us a little tour and history of the hotel - she is fabulous! Antonella from reception on checkout was also fantastic and very charismatic. Ristorante Nino’s served tasty traditional Sardinian food, great service by the pool for aperitivo by the enthusiastic waiters, too. We will definitely be returning, Grazie!
