Very good
Hotel very friendly staff. Two receptionist went out of there way to help us. Pool area beautiful. Rooms not so good need up dating. Floor in bedroom didn’t look like it hadn’t been cleaned sometimes. Garden area beautifully kept, wine waiter missed use out three times. The guys who served us meals and took our order, they are friendly and helpful-polite and charming. Food in restaurant very good. Would stay here again but maybe look at getting a suite next time.

Exceptional Sardinia, close to porto cervo
The ambiance on the hotel was exceptional, the service was very friendly and genuine. We stayed in the small house by the pool in one of the suits and it was truely beautiful. Tasteful decoration throughout the whole hotel and a great view over baja Sardinia. I strongly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sardinia and wants to find the perfect get-away!

Heavenly stay
I had the most amazing suite with a private pool which was amazing. The suite was perfect - only thing I would add was a coffee machine but everything else was perfect. Breakfasts were a bit disappointing, tinned fruit, undrinkable fruit juice and horrible coffee. The bar is inside the hotel and not staffed a lot of the time so quite difficult to get a drink. Also they could do with pool service for drinks and snacks. Beach is a 25 minute walk away - not a problem for me and the hotel does operate a shuttle service for 2 euros. pool area is shut on Saturday afternoons when there is a wedding - not great unless you have a private pool. Would definitely go back to the hotel.

Basic...Expensive...NOT 4*(sorry) MUST have car
I don't usually review (especially bad ones) but if I'd been better informed I wouldn't have stayed here. We were 3 adults | Booked: 7 nights in a Classic Triple Room. ROOM: very basic, dated, musty smell, looked like a hostel room 2-3* at best. Balcony with 5ft concrete wall if you stood on your tiptoes you could just see pool. Immediately went to reception to change rooms-only had suite available in 2 days (additional cost). QUEEN bed's tiny (small double slept in 1 each) and 1 single bed (felt like wooden bench with a sheet over it). FOOD: Breakfast very basic. Only hot food was fatty soggy bacon and mushy scrambled egg (that nobody ate) if you wanted a boiled egg you had to pay €4 for them to boil it! LOTS of bread/cakes. Quality wasn't the freshest. Mouldy fruit & tomato's some days. 1 choice boiled ham, salami, sliced cheese (didn't look great. ate cheese/toast every day. Family had the same museli/yoghurt EVERY day. Coffee like tar (in Italy!). Did not eat in the restaurant (heard similar reviews about food) & dinner was €40pp for buffet. Went out every night to eat. 1 restaurant nearby walkable you MUST HAVE A CAR. Moved into BEAUTIFUL suite day 2 (which was 4* - only has 6 suites). Last day had a €7 sandwich for lunch, ham/cheese leftovers slapped on a piece of white bread,so bad it went in the bin. Holiday was a double special occasion which I mentioned on booking, NOTHING was even acknowledge. Grounds are stunning and look 5* BUT hotel is 3* at best :(

Suite with pool - amazing!
This is a small but beautiful hotel in an absolutely stunning location. We stayed in the suite with the private swimming pool for our honeymoon and it was perfect. Hotel location is great for cycling, relaxing, very close to deserted sandy beaches and easy to get to the main beaches. Having said that- the hotel charge £5 for a bottle of water which is pretty shocking considering we are paying half board and £350 a night. However the food quality is very good and varied in the evening. The staff are first class. Highly recommend this hotel and will be back. My biggest recommendation to the hotel would be to put a proper screen between our suite and the suite next door as currently you only have some plant pots separating it and no privacy. We did expect some privacy considering the private pool etc.

The hotel is set in a picturesque hillside overlooking the bay. Very nice finishes throughout and the staff were great. Highly recommend for people looking for a relaxing place to stay but note you will need to travel by car for activities.

Stayed half board. Food was exceptional. Typically Italian. 4 course dinner starts with mainly seafood buffet and gets better with pasta, main and dessert. Hotel well presented and staff were very friendly and helpful. Close to all the best parts of Costa Smerelda.

Disappointing hotel.
We spent 10 days at this pretty hotel in September. Quite remotest so car is essential an only one restaurant in walking distance and the hotel does not provide a shuttle bus as mentioned on some websites. Staff minimal and therefore the service is not 4 star. Rooms very sparce and we didn't see a roof terrace in the time we were there. No Wi-fi anywhere in hotel although they do tell you it's an outside problem but it is available everywhere else you go. Breakfast was quite stressful as constantly having to ask the one reluctant waiter for food, plates, tables to be replenished. Would recommend Sardinia but not Hotel Pulicinu.

Nice hotel but car needed
Nice hotel but car needed -breakfast not great and fruit juices were watery - also should look to vary breakfast - waiters mixed - some very helpful others surly - Manageress was really good and polite and helpful - hotel had lots of character but poop area could be made more lively and atmospheric - Stunning views and rooms good and manageress did whatever required to make stay comfortable Overall would recommend and hotel could really be top if a few minor improvements such as in the restaurant were made

Nice building and pool. Absolutely terrible staff
Totally understaffed hotel , surly attitude at best . In fact I witnessed one guest help himself to drinks because no staff could be found. The hotel had an atmosphere of what I imagine a Morgue would be . The breakfast was , and I use the word deliberately, "dished" up at 8am and not replenished at any stage. If you dared to arrive at 9am there was not only hardly any food left ,but no tables had been cleaned , and dirty dishes and crumbs everywhere. On one occasion when they ran out of Tea, I heard a guest say "your supposed to be a 4star hotel" the waiter/gardner/pool cleaner replied "I know, but mostly about 2 stars these days" enough said really....!!

Lovely grounds - pity about the hotel.
It's under-staffed (by not very cheery people - apart from the breakfast waitress) and badly managed. The lounge/bar area is soulless; the bar was permanently unlit and un-staffed, so no one went near it and the whole lounge area was dead. Breakfast not over-exciting and often had to wait for replacement bread and glasses. Coffee could take a while too. Didn't dine there because it was a flat e30 per head for a 3 course meal. We only like a single course for dinner. Room OK but a bit Spartan; comfy beds though, and nice view. Bathroom cramped and frayed towels/shower mats very off-putting.

Lovely location as long as you have a car -lovely terrace and great breakfast staff very courteous and efficient. Rooms are clean and comfortable , nice clean pool area no problem getting a sun bed, plenty of shade if you need it -it was worth paying extra for the sea view as you get a balcony to watch the amazing sunsets -this was a return visit and we will visit again. 20 minute walk to Bai Sardinia and Some fabulous beaches.

Perfect honeymoon stay!
Stayed in one of the suites for our honeymoon. Had a lovely private pool and garden. Indoors was very comfortable, big bed, large corner sofa and large bathroom with double shower. Staff were very friendly and helpful with booking day trips and vehicle hire. Lovely food. Public transport links are not very frequent and taxis are really expensive, so recommend having own transport for going anywhere.

Clean, good location but see commen about ur stay
It was a very good hotel, we were there for 1 week. The only problem I had with this hotel was after being out all day & came back to find our room door open & no one around (staff), also our shower head was missing. When we told the reception they said they were changing the shower head (for no reason, there was no problem with it) & said there were staff around. That want the case cos after getting back we stayed in the room for 15 min & no staff was to be seen. They did even see the problem with this, we had our money & passport in the room, the safe was not working. Also please not the hotel has a lot of wedding at weekends.

Fantastic 5 night stay - friendly family run hotel with excellent service from staff at all levels. Wonderful sea views, spotless pool and well tended colourful gardens. Mediterranean buffet in the evening was good home cooked food but staff helpful in recommending local restaurants. Planning to return in 2016

Relaxing laid back hotel
Nice hotel in pleasant surroundings just outside Baia Sardinia. Car definitely required and ideal for exploring the North East of Sardinia. Very good local restaurants. Good for location, continental breakfast included was pretty good. Very popular for weddings at the weekend so can be a little noisy. Staff were very helpful. The room was spacious and included a safe and Sky TV, the bed was quite firm.

Fabulous hotel close to beach.
We have just arrived back home after a wonderful 14 night stay. The gardens were magnificent, the staff so helpful and the pool was so clean and a great area for swimming lengths. There were plenty of sunbeds and a drinks service was always available. The breakfasts were fantastic with so much choice and the views were incredible sitting at the tables on the terrace. You could have evening meal in the hotel if you wished. There was always lots of choice, buffet style and the cost was very reasonable. There was a restaurant about 5 minutes walk from the hotel which becomes one of our favourites with lots to choose from. Baja Sardinia was about a 5 minute drive with lots if restaurants to choose from. A car is a must for you to explore Sardinia and you can pick one up at the airport for a very good price. We would highly recommend Hotel Pulicinu - we would definitely like to stay there again. We booked a suite which faced directly to the pool. It was so convenient and very quiet and the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower was also very big and powerful.

Perfect Paradise
This wonderfully set hotel hidden in the mountains of north east Sardinia is a great place to stay. but do yourself a favour & go half-board as the chef is excellent. The views from the restaurant are breath taking which makes the excellent food even more enjoyable. The breakfast selection is extensive and what you expect from high class hotels The outside pool is split in to two with a mini-waterfall connecting them which makes it perfect for kids. Its the perfect place for a romantic getaway . You need a car if you stay here as the main beach at Baja Sardinia is 2km away however they do offer a daily transfer to this beach.

Fantastic hotel in the heart of the costa smerelda
This hotel is fabulous in everyway. Staff were friendly , helpful and polite . The pool and views were out of this world. So well kept and clean. The food was incredible .. Four course meal everynight, with choice to suit any needs. The restaurant staff were brilliant . Yes you need a car in this area , but to appreciate sardinia - you need a car anyway . The hotel is close to every amazing beach in the area Cannot reccomend this hotel enough .. Would definitely return anytime....

Very restful - great hotel
The hotel is up a hill and away from the main road in a quiet location with a very nice view over the bay. The nearest shops and the beach are about 5 minutes drive but parking there was quite easy. The hotel and grounds are very attractive and the staff are very friendly and helpful and speak good english. We had half board - 4 courses - and the food was excellent. The dinner code is "smart casual" which makes a nice change after a day at the beach.
