Mooi gelegen hotel bij de zee en goed restaurant.
Pros:

De kamer was prima met een groot balkon. Zoals overal op Sardinie was ook hier de douchecabine klein. Het restaurant was uitstekend en prachtig gelegen aan de rand van de zee. Veelzeggend dat de meeste clientèle lokale bewoners waren. Ook heel prettig was de koelkast op de kamer.

Cons:

De stalling voor mijn fiets. Mocht wel binnen bij de receptie staan, wat wel als voordeel had dat ik direct bij mijn fiets kon. De bediening van de lift heeft een handleiding nodig.

An unforgettable retro charm with a view that beats any luxury hotel
Pros:

We will never forget the sunrises over the harbor and the sea from our terrace, and how the first rays of the sun gently woke us up while we were lying in bed (there were shutters, of course, but we chose not to use them! :) ). The staff was kind and helpful, providing us with plenty of useful information even before our arrival, making our trip planning so much easier.It is a retro-vibe, non-fancy hotel with a breathtaking view that puts even the fanciest hotels to shame—and that is exactly why we loved it! The room also had a small fridge that worked perfectly, keeping our refreshments ice-cold.We ended up leaving our car in Palau and crossed over by ferry with just our luggage. We didn’t regret this choice at all, as the hotel is within easy and quick walking distance to both the main town center and the smaller harbor where our boat tour departed.

Cons:

The only minor challenge was walking with our suitcases from the ferry port to the hotel. The car traffic is quite heavy and there are no real sidewalks, so we had to balance with our luggage along a narrow ledge inside the harbor railing. Still, we don't regret it, as we saved over €60 in ferry fees for a car that would have just sat in the hotel's parking lot for two nights anyway, where parking spaces are limited

Pros:

Il panorama dalla camera era molto bello.
Buona la pizza.
Il personale gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Sui balconi si staccava l'intonaco.
La temperatura della doccia era difficile da regolare (o troppo calda o troppo fredda).
Caro per essere un 3 stelle, ma tutta l'isola è cara...

Pros:

Good location to the town and nice views from the room.

Cons:

The beds were extremely uncomfortable and very springy, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. There was also a significant amount of noise from neighbouring rooms, as well as from the cleaning station located directly outside our room, with loud conversations starting early each morning. Additionally, we found a cockroach in the bathroom. Due to these issues, we decided to check out after just two days.

La plus belle vue et les meilleures pizzas
Pros:

Chambre super grande. La vue sur la mer est juste incroyable, et aussi le restaurant qui est ouvert le soir propose les meilleures pizzas de la Maddalena. Proche de la ville à pieds on était au port en 7 min chrono

Cons:

Plusieurs petites choses pourraient être améliorées, rénovées dans l’hôtel. Toutefois ce sont des détails à nos yeux.
