Amazing staff — incredibly helpful, kind, and always ready to go the extra mile! The room was spotless and very comfortable. The location was perfect: close to great restaurants and the harbor in Porto Rotondo, yet peaceful and quiet for a restful night's sleep. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of variety, and the amazing staff were always there to help with anything I needed. I really appreciated the attention to detail throughout my stay — it made the whole experience feel truly special. The pool area was a highlight too, with a semi-jacuzzi and super comfy pool chairs — perfect for relaxing!

Best Hotel we have ever been to. The room with the sea view balcony was amazing and even more spectacular was that the hotel is built along the coast with some tracks taking to different views of it. Meravigliosa!! 10 minutes walk also you can find the beautiful spiaggia Li Cossi. The restaurant is good too, with a panorama of the sea. The food is very good too and we thank the whole staff, who are attentive and super friendly. We definitely recommend it.

Li Finistreddi is a pure gem in the heart of the Sardinian countryside. With a panoramic view of the sea, it is a modern, tastefully designed hotel with fine dining, and exceptional facilities, especially the pools. Within easy reach of Olbia airport and lots of nearby interesting archeological sites. Eduardo, with his love of great wines, and his colleagues made our stay particluarly memorable.

The location was beautiful, the staff really make this place and everything is so wonderfully clean. I don’t understand how this hotel has been described as charmless as it really is in a beautiful setting, the building is traditional yet the interior is modern, fresh and just stunning. I don’t often leave reviews but this hotel has been one of my favourite places to stay in the world. the staff cannot do enough for you, I left my hairbrush at home and the hotel arranged for someone to go to the local pharmacy and pick me one up. The bar staff saw my handbag on the floor and came over with an extra seat so that my handbag was no longer sitting on the (clean!) floor! the gardens are beautiful and wild, the private beach was a huge bonus and a great place to relax during the day. The selection of drinks and the food menu at the pool bar were reasonably priced and of excellent quality, I just wished it stayed open a little later for those not wanting to use the restaurant for dinner. It is wonderfully quiet and serene without being stuffy and lacking in atmosphere. The pool bar certainly gave off sophisticated, chilled out beach club vibes which I miss dearly since returning home. I don’t often travel back to places but I would definitely want to go here again in the future and could not recommend it enough to anyone considering booking it. Staying in this boutique hotel made me realise this is the way forward as the staff care about your happiness, whereas the big named chain hotels often hide behind their name/brand. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Part Vogue Junior, part warm Latin welcome — when Flo, Aileen, and the charming Italian gent are around, it’s magic. When they’re not… well, let’s just say the sparkle fades a bit. I adored the staff — especially Flo and Aileen. Friendly, charming, and the kind of people you can have a real conversation with. They’re the ones who turn a stay into a story. Also, shout-out to the sweet Italian guy with glasses, who was so polite he could probably teach a course in manners. The restaurant/lunch manager is a star — professional, attentive, and clearly running a tight ship. But the moment he’s not there… well, let’s just say the boat starts drifting a bit. When I first arrived at reception, it felt like stepping into Vogue Junior: beautiful people everywhere, but I couldn’t help thinking, “Great! Now, if only they were equally fluent in English and Spanish… and could give me tips about the area without Googling them under the desk.” We did get one shuttle driver with the charm of a Monday morning — made us move to the back seat, then decided to drop us past our room. I guess it was his creative way of getting a shorter workday. If I were running the place, I’d add two cheerful, warm Argentine receptionists — the type who greet you like an old friend. Leave the model trainees for Milan Fashion Week; this is hospitality, not a runway.

A great place for families with small children, with a very nice garden, pools, and beach. The breakfast is delicious, with a large selection, the restaurant opposite the hotel is recommended for lunch and dinner if you don't want to make a reservation at the hotel. The staff is kind and helpful. Children's programs, the playhouse is open all day, so parents also have time to relax. Dolphin watching program with motorboat can be booked in the garden, good program with children.

You definitely need a car to get around but the cost is definitely worth it. The area is lovely and a boat trip to La Maddalena is a must. Photos do not do justice to the crystal clear turquoise water and unspoiled beaches. This is high praise coming from someone who rarely goes to the beach! This stay was my first and hopefully not my last but I would have stayed longer if I could have. We enjoyed good meals in various places including a recommended restaurant at a small beach which was atmospheric with a beautiful view. I don’t think you can go wrong wherever you choose to eat. The place feels safe and the people are friendly and polite.

We have stayed in other very nice resorts and hotels with robust amenities throughout Sardinia and this was easily our favorite one. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and went out of their way to assist us. In addition to the hotel, we loved touring around Capo Testa and spent a lot of time in Santa Teresa which is a very charming town near the hotel. Next time we will spend more time at the beaches since an injury prevented us from navigating the rocky beach.

La Maddalena is an amazing place if you want a relaxing holiday focusing on beaches and nature. We spent there about a week and everyday went to a different beach, and every new beach was more beautiful than previous one! There is a beautiful marine life, so bring your snorkeling gear! It was one of the biggest reasons we chose La Maddalena for holiday, and it exceeded our expectations! The best beaches for snorkeling where at La Caprera. Just swim next to the rocky edges of the beach, and you can find all the colorful fish there (also rogues and squids).

Golfo Aranci was not for us, but it may be great for others.

Golfo Aranci was not for us, but it may be great for others. It seemed to be a place that was more geared towards wealthy foreigners and not the average Italian tourist. This showed in the extremely high prices for food, beverages and groceries as well as the minimal choices in dishes/foods. Every restaurant seemed to offer the same upscale pasta and pizza that you found again and again and did not seem to be very authentic Gallurese or Sardinian. In fact, we barely felt like we were in Sardinia much of the time. However, it does have beautiful public beaches, great options for daytrips on the sea, as well as being very close to Olbia (great city!) and lots of amazing beaches, not to mention La Maddalena. Oh, there's also a train, although we didn't use it. We always prefer a car to get around. Parking in Golfo Aranci is expensive though. It says that you pay everywhere all year all the time, but if you look closely, you might find some free overnight spots. We liked Pittulongu instead because it had an adults only place that was excellent. But in general, going after school starts is a sure fire way to avoid having too many screaming babies around you on the beach. We probably won't be back to stay in Golfo Aranci, but we might go back on a day trip to revisit a few of the beaches or take the hike up the mountain that we didn't get to do this time.

Tempio sits on a hilltop overlooking the granite peaks...

Tempio sits on a hilltop overlooking the granite peaks behind Aggius in the west and Monte Limbara to the SE; it is a mix of old and new, the core characterised by a warren of small narrow streets hemmed in by granite-built old-style houses, many with balconies. The lanes are studded with bars and small restaurants and offer some coolness to escape the summer sun. The cobbles would be a challenge to high heels, but the core is quite small and walkable easily. Local food is really good, from pizza (Il Trenino), to light lunches (Living) and the more traditional Sardinian dishes (Trattoria La Gallurese - order the snails/lumache); bars are cheap and service is mostly great (Living, New Chopin, Caffe' de Piazza), although one or two places are glacially slow (Bar de Museum - but fantastic pasta!). It seems a very happy town and the locals that somehow understood my broken Italian were welcoming and many spoke some English to help me out. There are numerous small and large parks affording shade and tranquility and to outer this, there is a bar - Risen - that caters for the young and plays plenty of party music, which was fun, but I didn't last until the advertised 4am closure... We had originally booked into the Pausania Inn, but left after a night and booked into the New Petit Hotel: a friendly place with smallish rooms but with great views over Aggius and just on the edge of the old town, so perfectly located for accessing the town without a 1.75km walk from the other hotel.
