Absolutely gorgeous hotel in beautiful surroundings. Free parking directly outside the hotel and was easy to find a space. Walkable down to the harbour (20mins) but they also put on a shuttle bus that we didn’t use as it is back uphill. Lovely views from the restaurant and pool area. Our room was directly onto the pool. Breakfast was fantastic. The rooms particularly the bathrooms could do with an update but they were very clean and had everything we needed and the outside of the hotel and facilities made up for this. Highly recommend

This property is even better in person. The rooms are clean and AC worked unlike other hotels in Italy. The included breakfast was amazing, so many options and delicious. There is a nice view where you can enjoy a drink out on the patio near the pool. We will be back!

Lovely hotel near the centre of Palau

Lovely hotel with staff who were very helpful. Close enough to walk conveniently to the centre of Palau (10-20 mins) although up a hill. The room was nice and the amenities clean and plentiful, although we did notice the water coming from the taps was not clear - it was a slightly yellowish colour.

Clean, luxurious hotel with friendly staff at the reception. It's on a hill and 15 mins walk or a short drive from the center of the town. Upside : really nice, clean, modern room. Good pool (we didn't use) and friendly reception staff. Downsides : breakfast is disorganized, the parking is behind the hotel and in a unpaved, dark plot.

nice hotel friendly staff food not great

The town is very nice and has 3 beaches that you can walk to in 15 mins. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk up a very steep hill. It will keep you fit. There are lots of good quality restaurants nearby. Of course ice cream is excellent with lots of local speciality flavours. Breakfast at the hotel is good but minimal variety. I had dinner at the hotel on one occasion. None of the dishes at the hotel were cooked well. I had the Octopus Salad was over cooked and smelt like rubber. By comparison I had the same dish for lunch at another restaurant which was excellent. The pool is quite small, much better to go to the beach where the hotel has an area reserved with sunbeds that is just off the beach.

Only one night, but still very nice

I stayed here for just one night, but had enough time to enjoy both dinner and breakfast here. I had a decent view from my window out the back of the hotel, and the location wasn't ideal, but it certainly wasn't so far out of the way that it affected my stay. The staff was very friendly from the front desk, to the housekeeping, to the restaurant. If I ever end up in this part of the world again, I would most likely stay here again.

Best breakfast of our entire journey in Sardinia! Dining out on the balcony was the icing on the cake, with the beautiful view of Palau down to the sea.

A good basic 3* hotel.

Staff friendly. Great views of the islands. Rooms very basic, as was the hotel. Everyone there was Italian. If your looking for just a room with B/B in a good location then for the price the hotel is good value.

Very nice hotel with super friendly and helpful staff (and I can whole heartedly recommend their SPA/massage facilities). The breakfast left nothing to be desired, but lunch and dinner can be improved on. The pool area is maybe a bit small, but when you have the mediterranean at a walking distance, who cares
