"A very relaxing resort with beautiful grounds and friendly staff. It has great pools and a dedicated beach. It has a lot of free parking but on our, very late, arrival it took us a while to find a space due to some sort of event. It is only 5 minutes drive from a little town that has some great restaurants. We also enjoyed walking through the forest parallel to beach - shade and sea breezes."

"We stayed in Sophia, which is a genuinely stunning experience - likely a once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in a 19th Century palazzo. The staff are wonderfully kind and helpful, with excellent communication. The hotel itself is located centrally in Oristano, so there are lots of cafes, restaurants etc within easy walking distance. Easy to recommend."

"Personnel au top petit déjeuner très bien et petit resto bien. Tranquille au bord de la piscine avec peu de monde. Je recommande cette établissement mais sans passer par hôtel. Com car c’est facturé 20€ de plus par nuit. Sur 9 nuit j’ai eu 200€ de plus que si j’étais passé en direct. Je regarderai à 2 fois avant de commander sur ce site."

When someone says “feel at home”, this is what it should be. There wasn’t anything I lacked, and the hosts went out of their way to ensure everything was comfortable. Breakfast on a veranda with a view, the sounds of birds and sheep moving up into the hills in the morning, it was lovely. An excellent hidden gem, I plan to come back again for sure. Grazie!

Our room overlooked the town center so we experienced the pulse of the town from our balcony. Maria Luisa, the owner, and the staff ensure that each guest feels at home. Their attention to detail enhanced our experience.

Great and peaceful location, far from the noisy towns. The owner and stuff are very friendly and helpful. Meals respect the Sardinian tradition, the ingredients are natural and fresh. Rooms are a little spartan but welcoming
