Hotel Rocce Sarde

The hotel says it is 20 minutes walk away from the village it may be but it is a very busy road and no pavements so it is not advisable. Trying to eat from the antipasti buffet is difficult as nothing is labelled and when we asked what was suitable for vegetarians we were shown the salad. As for the evening meals we expected to get good Italian food not nouvelle cuisine which was very strange. The hotel is very isolated and if you didn’t want to go on the the optionals provided by the holiday company you can feel very trapped

Wow what a great hotel Booked with Travelsphere as a base hotel Food was outstanding Service great Up in the hill away from the sea, but they do have a shuttle bus to the sea I would go back again Room,s were clean every day ,with new towels every day

What a great hotel!! Reception staff greet you with smiles and are always there to help you if needed. Rooms are very rustic in fitting with the hotel style but pleasant and comfortable. The pool has two sides to it , one shallow and the other 3.5 metres which you need to be a strong swimmer to use, beds always available and some in lovely shaded areas amongst the trees. Bar offers decent drinks and lunchtime menu. Grounds of the hotel are very well maintained and we paid for the seaview superior which gave us a tremendous view throughout the day. Food - Just wow, evening meals were excellent served to a very high standard. Buffet starter followed by two main courses chosen the previous evening, this followed by a lovely dessert. The menu is very much based on pasta and fish so be prepared, but its all very nice food. Special mention to the staff which always go to make a wonderful hotel experience. Salvatore our evening waiter was excellent and explained the wine and menu. The maître d'hôtel ran a great service, bar staff Giame and Stefano always pleasant and good service. Management can be seen around the hotel at all times. The Sardinian evening in the olive garden is worth the extra €15 per person and the public holiday buffet in the garden was tremendous. We had a day trip to Corsica on the ferry which was all very easy, did the Viator dolphin trip from Golfo Aranci and had days out in Porto Cervo (great tip for a queit beach Spiaggia del Giglio), Porto Rotondo, Capriccioli. The beach that the shuttle runs to is great for snorkeling but very busy. The local village San Pantaleo is nice for a browse around the shops and you can buy a Saint Barth bag :-)

This hotel is glorious. Beautiful setting in the mountains. Everything is maintained to a very high standard. Food is amazing, I recommend half board. Extensive buffet starter followed by 3 courses in the panoramic restaurant. Waiters were lovely. Lovely pool and pool bar with great entertainment. We were lucky enough to have the pleasure of Giulio on 3 nights. His voice is amazing and he made our holiday. Staff are very helpful and the shuttle bus to the beach everyday was perfect. We walked into the little village of San Pantaleo which is beautiful. Takes about 25 minutes but worth it. On the whole an amazing 8 nights in Sardinia. Highly recommend.

The most perfect place, the hotel and its grounds were just beautiful and the food was amazing. The beach was stunning, made the most of the hotel shuttle bus each day. We walked to San Pantaleo most mornings, the deli counter in the supermarket did the best cheese and salami for lunch. Celebrated our wedding anniversary whilst there and we received complimentary Prosecco with our evening meal. We will definitely be returning next year ❤️

We recently stayed at Hotel Rocce Sarde in Sardinia. The hotel boasts amazing mountain scenery in a rural setting. We booked the Superior Sea View Room. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially Stefano, Michele and Salvatore. The rooms are basic but spotlessly clean. We stayed half board. The food was lovely and even better as a coeliac I was catered for very well If visiting I recommend hiring a car due to the remote location of the hotel. The nearest village of San Pantaleo is a half hour walk away We booked a boat trip to the Maddalena Islands which is well worth doing We also visited Olbia along with various beaches which are amazing with white sand and crystal clear waters The downside to this hotel is it’s “tired” and needs an update. The hotel shop only stocks alcohol and sweets. No water! You can only purchase water at the bar or use the mini bar in the room. We reported a couple of issues in the room, namely the broken plug in the sink. It was still broken when we left. The pool area is adequate but due to the on-site sewage system there is a fragrant aroma in the area!! Also the poolside toilets consist of two toilets in what can only be described as a shed! The views are amazing and we had a relaxing stay but won’t be returning

The hotel itself is in a beautiful spot, on top of a rocky hill side, with views over the coast. It's an ideal quiet spot for relaxing and taking in the stunning scenery. We chose the hotel because we wanted an independent hotel with good food - somewhere as a base to explore the North East coast line of Sardinia - which is unreal. The coastline and beaches are probably the best I've seen in Europe and we loved Mamabeach for a day out somewhere with a beach club type vibe just North of Olbia. Overall, we had a good time, but there were a few frustrations with the hotel. The rooms are very old fashioned and tired, Even more so that the images online that feature the rooms in the main building and not the annexed rooms given to families. The food ranged from excellent to mediocre - my advice is to arrive for dinner at 7.30pm when the sittings start otherwise you may be left like we were on occasion with inedible pieces of meat or fish that are incredibly overcooked. My biggest gripe though was around service. The restaurant service is incredibly formal and can take forever - which may suit some people trying to make their way through 4 courses, but for families with young childeren it was way too slow. And finally the staff around the hotel need to be empowered to act on problems. We asked for our fridge to be fixed on day one of our stay and just got blank stares from the receptionists - it remained broken for the full week. Also, when I asked the at the pool bar if someone could arrange for the toilets around the pool to have the empty soap replenished, I was told that this "wasn't their area of competency"!! The pool serves food and this just isn't good enough. Overall the hotel has a ton of potential but just needs a bit more of a modern approach and refresh.

Hotel is in a Great setting with great views,staff are fantastic, rooms clean, food really good so I would go half board as its fairly remote, you will need a car as local bus service is sketchy,and nearest village is 30 mins walk, taxi's non existent,all drinks reasonably priced
