With 35 miles of glorious coastline along Sardinia’s northern shore, Costa Smerelda (or Emerald Coast) was created as a getaway for the rich and famous by Prince Karin Aga Khan IV in the early 1960s. Sailing, waterskiing, scuba diving, golfing, shopping, fine dining and partying are some of the area’s best activities. Hotel prices can be exorbitant, but that’s no problem for the area’s wealthy visitors, even less so since many arrive in their own private yachts. Porto Cervo is the main town.

A lovely hotel set near to the coast. Fantastic staff who were always happy to help no matter how busy . The food was to a high standard . The accommodation was great and cleaned everyday to a high standard . The hotel had a great swimming pool as well as a kids play area and tennis courts . The hotel provides a courtesy bus to get you about thr North East of the island . I would hire a car if you plan on site seeing as the hotel is rather secluded which is great if you want a restful holiday . A big thank you to the wonderful staff who made our visit very enjoyable .

We stayed here for 5 nights in May on the recommendation of your site....and, it was all and more than we could have expected. The staff, Augusto, Giovanni, Luca and Fernando were absolutely amazing! All their recommendations for dinner and site seeing were superb. The views from our room, pool and bar are spectacular. We loved being pampered by the staff at Hotel Balocco and will return.

Just 50 metres away from the marina, Luci di la Muntagna offers panoramic views across Porto Cervo Bay. These views can be admired from the swimming pool, Kabuga restaurant and terraces. Hotel Luci di la Muntagna's design is typical of Sardinia's Emerald Coast. You will find a total of 2 bars, one poolside offering light lunches, and one with a terrace overlooking the bay. The hotel has been renewed in 2014 and offers modern rooms with views of the marina or surrounding mountains. Each room is air conditioned and features an LCD TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom. The breakfast buffet includes homemade bread, croissants, cold cuts and cheese. Kabuga is an a la carte restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. Meals can be enjoyed out on the terrace with views of the yacht-club. This 4-star hotel is just a few steps from Porto Cervo's Piazzetta, the town's main square. It is surrounded by exclusive shops and restaurants. The beaches of Porto Paglia, Pevero and Cala Granu are less than 10 minutes' drive away.
Had the great misfortune to stay here for two nights. A truly appaling room in this gin palace posing as a hotel. The service at dinner was probably the worse I've experienced in Europe and certainly the slowest. Avoid in fact avoid Ponto Cervo altogether this plastic resort bears no relation to the island it sits on.

The Resort Cala di Falco is a 4-star superior hotel located in Cannigione, a well-known tourist resort just outside the Costa Smeralda. The ideal strategic location just a stone's throw from the centre of the town and some of the most beautiful beaches in Northern Sardinia offers numerous alternatives for you to enjoy your holidays whether as a couple, with friends or family. The whole resort offers a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere, wherever you are in the resort’s many open spaces. There are well-kept gardens, two restaurants and a pizzeria, two swimming pools and the Mini Club for the little ones and a wide choice of different accommodation formulas: hotel, residence or the prestigious villas. The nearby Cannigione marina port is much appreciated both as the starting point for exciting boat trips and also for its town centre, full of shops, attractions and nightlife.
We had a really good time at Cala di Falco and can recommend it. We were staying in the seperated appartment area called Residence but often used the facilities in the Hotel. The Residence was clean and we felt comfortable, but the furniture is quite old and there is no daily room service. Wifi is just working on the balcony. The staff in the hotel restaurant did an outstanding job. My wife is vegetarian and is celiac (can‘t eat gluten), which was taken very serious without any mistakes. Apart from this, the crew was very friendly and attentiv, the food was tasty and had a high quality for a fair price. Actually the price was quite low compared to other restaurants around Sardinia. Additionally, there is a very friendly and helpfull guest manager namend Barbara. She was absolutely fabulous and gave us good recommendations of the area of Sardinia, which we tried out and did not regret, because that really improved our holiday experience.

The elegant hotel overlooks the amazing bay of Cala di Volpe. Completely renovated in 2009, set in the green Mediterranean vegetation, only 1000 from the sea and 8 km from the glamorous Porto Cervo, famous for the shopping and the most fashionable clubs and night-life of the Costa Smeralda. Close to the hotel, the enchanting 18 hole Pevero Golf Club. The careful service, the charming atmosphere together with a friendly and professional staff
Our first time in Sardinia and what a superb place to stay. The hotel is great, views amazing, food was superb, and the staff so helpful. We leave at lunchtime after a 3 night stay, a perfect getaway. Big thanks to Manager Mauro, Alberto & Iliena & team in the restaurant, Luca and his colleague on the bar, helpful lifeguard poolside and the wider hotel team. All so friendly and professional. Did not hire a car for such a short stay which was fine. A few restaurants nearby but did not need to use as hotel dining so good. Fantastico! Ash & Marion

The Colonna Park Hotel is located close to the Marina of Porto Cervo in the heart of the Emerald Coast. It has 70 rooms including standard, superior and suites, a swimming pool, restaurant, bar and car parking. At about 1000 meters from the famous square of Porto Cervo with the walk and its exclusive boutiques. Near the most beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast just minutes away by car or free shuttle.
The staff certainly make this hotel. They are super friendly and helpful, they chatted to us and helped us with certain questions which was really lovely. The hotel is in a good location to the marina and they do a shuttle bus there and back to the beach which was brilliant (and it’s free). The pool is nice and the food half board was very good - the pineapple cake was to die for - 10/10!! The only downside is the decor, the hotel really does need some updating but most of all the beds are so hard that my hip was hurting during the night (I’m late 30’s!). Some new mattresses and furnishings would really go along way with this hotel. We had a lovely stay here overall though.

The Qui Si Sana inn is located in the Malchittu valley, surrounded by beautiful vegetation and granite hills, in a small rural area which includes an ancient archeological “nuraghi” site, dated towards the end of the second millennium b.C., a unique historical location in Sardinia.Originally a stable, the building which houses the inn is surrounded by fields, and has been in the family for decades, passed on from our grandparents to us. It has been completely restored and is now equipped with every necessary comfort, allowing our guests a relaxing and luxurious stay, whilst still surrounded by the untouched vegetation and sea.Qui Si Sana inn is located along the 125 freeway, in Palau direction, to the Km 340, locality Malchittu.Spacious and cozy, our rooms are decorated with care and attention to detail of the Gallura.The farm is only about 25 km from the airport and the port of Olbia and about 30 km from the port of Golfo Aranci.
Excellent b&b, spotlessly clean, in ideal location to explore the beaches and sites of the Costa smerelda. Run by two lovely women who are most accommodating and helpful. Fine big rooms with modern ensuite bathrooms. Lovely balconies back and front to enjoy breakfast and an evening drink.

I stayed at this property for 7 nights at the end of May. It was absolutely amazing. The hotel staff could not be more welcoming, helpful, friendly and accommodating. A very big THANK YOU to Stefania at the reception, Marco at the bar and the hotel manager Giuliano for making my stay unforgettable. You guys, and the hotel itself, exceeded my expectations! What a fantastic team! I had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking a pool and the mountains (Thank you Stefania ;-). It was cleaned daily to a very high standard. I had a double bed which was very comfortable. The pool itself is massive, with over 60 sun loungers around it, conveniently spaced so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. There is also a jacuzzi available in the pool area which I highly recommend. There is a very charming lifeguard who, apart from looking after the safety, provides everyone with towels. Next to the pool, there is a bar and you can enjoy drinks and light and very delicious salads, toasts and sandwiches if you wish to. At this property, you will also find a spa. I haven't used it but I have been shown around and it looked really nice. The nearest supermarket is 5 min away and the beach (super clean!) is 7-10 min away if you are walking. There is a lovely marina there as well where you can enjoy a nice coffee. Cannigione and the hotel itself are perfect for people who like quiet and peaceful holidays. If you are after a good rest in the beautiful surroundings, ARH Baja Hotel & Spa should be your first choice. I strongly recommend staying at this property and I definitely will when I visit Sardinia next time. Thank you again for an amazing holiday.

Hotel Club Li Graniti, is a 4 star hotel set among granites and maquis shrubland, it is at a short distance from the breath-taking Cala dei Ginepri and the stunning beach of Le Saline (connected through a shuttle bus free of charge for residents). One of the most beautiful holiday destinations in North Sardinia. The panoramic location, the structures in Sardinian stone, the noble interiors decorated by Sardinian craftspeople and the welcoming staff make this hotel the ideal place for a relaxing holiday by the sea. The hotel offers spacious rooms with terraces overlooking the sea and the garden, for an absolutely tranquil stay. Hotel Club Li Graniti includes a fully-equipped gymnasium, a beautifully designed swimming pool and a wellbeing area for massages and beauty treatments. Ideal both for couples and families, thanks to the miniclub for children and to the various leisure and relax areas. The hotel's restaurant proposes lunch and dinner with table service, twice a week a typical Sardinian dinner including fish and meat, and full board regime at a convenient price.
For a short break and half board this comfortable hotel offered great value with friendly staff. Our room was modest but perfectly adequate, but the view from our balcony was only a rock face and scrub. Half board was a bit limited but OK for a few days, breakfast offered a good selection with boiled eggs if you ask, to supplement bacon and scrambled eggs if you don't want continental. In winter, the bar does shut early so you can't always have a coffee after evening meal. Would stay again as a good central position for exploring if you have a car and it is only 40 mins from Olbia airport.
