Loved the fact that it’s a relatively small hotel. Staff always very friendly and helpful. The pool area was so clean & tidy and never too busy. No problems finding a lounger at any time of the day. Breakfast buffet was perfect, not too overwhelming but included everything you could want. The shower screen in the bathroom failed every time, leading to flooded bathroom every day. I noted this was mentioned in many reviews so I wonder why nothing has been done to improve it? Shame about outside drinks & snacks not being allowed in the rooms. It’s always nice to bring in an ‘inexpensive’ drink to have o. The balcony in the evening. Could still do it but just had to drink it out of a mug!!! Haha. Highly recommend hiring a car and exploring all the local beaches, ample free parking at the hotel. All round perfect stay, thank you

My fiancée and I stayed for 3 nights at hotel Balocco and it was the highlight of our trip to Sardinia. The complementary daily breakfast was excellent with lots of options to choose from: eggs to order, fresh cut fruit, tasty desserts, cheeses, bacon, etc. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Everyone from the front desk, wait staff, pool/towel staff, and house keeping were warm and friendly. The service overall was excellent. There is a free shuttle to the beach you can sign up for through the front desk—they were very informative. The pool is beautiful, although we didn’t spend much time there and opted to go to the beach. The room was spacious and clean. Having a comfortable king bed was a welcome reprieve from the smaller, less comfortable beds we slept on in Florence prior to our arrival. The shower also had very good water pressure making hair washing a breeze. The decor is warm and beachy adding to the ambiance of beautiful Porto Cervo. Our favorite feature of this hotel was our gracious feline host, little Balocco. We loved being greeted by her every morning. Overall, I can’t wait to come back here! Hotel Balocco is 10/10 and I will be recommending it to anyone heading to Italy.

Fantastic location and staff! Room was large with big balcony and great view of ocean. Did have an occasional oder coming from the shower drain. Room was mostly clean but could use some touchup paint. Room was also very quiet with comfortable beds. Beautiful grounds and the staff was always helpful when we had questions. Breakfast was great, lots of choices and a beautiful view while eating. Pool, grounds and view absolutely gorgeous. Restaurants in walking distance.

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.
