Baratili San Pietro Vacations from $2,482

First of all, if you are driving, this is not located in the town on San Vero Mills, but in the town of Putzu Idu. It can be confusing as SVM is a town and an area. Once we stayed here a few days I wished we had not chosen this spot. There are such better towns and beaches just north with much more to do and much prettier towns and beaches. I really see little reason to visit this town. How this hotel has 4*, I don't know. It is fine and clean; it is just a very simple 2-3* hotel. No real services, poor sheets and pillows, rubber curtains, individual dispenser for bath tissue, etc. (They even suggest to you that the individual bath products are not for "one use" - I guess they took care of that problem as they installed the wall dispensers.) The grounds going down to the "beach" are nice, but, in the land of gorgeous beaches, this is not one of them. It is a rock beach - not the little rocks you can walk and sit on, but rocks of several inches in diameter. And, there are two private houses right there. Not a beach you are going to spend the day on! The people at the restaurant were very helpful and friendly and breakfast was nice. The dinners offer just a few choices in a brightly lit room - very strange setting. (Wine but no liquor service.) It was just OK. We didn't want to return more than once.

Perfect location. Private villa overlooking sea, but conveniently located just a 10 minute walk to bustling town. Hotel was amazing! The dining, the pool and staff were all top notch. Special notes for how personable & professional Ronaldo, Guissipe & Mario all were. The welcome drink & tour were really a nice touch. We recommend booking a sea view room, it's worth the extra expense.

Great hotel. Marta and Giovanni at the front desk were phenomenal. Loved the facilities and food. Great place to unwind. Great location to see the sites.
