Séjour agréable et bien situé près de la plage
Pros:

Accueil sympathique à l’arrivée, même si inégal selon la réception. Emplacement idéal près de la plage, avec un jardin agréable et une piscine. Hôtel propre, mais literie à revoir et climatisation insuffisante la nuit. Le patron, très présent au restaurant, apporte une touche chaleureuse en partageant ses plats et l’histoire de l’établissement.

Cons:

Nous avons beaucoup aimé la proximité de la plage, le petit déjeuner, l’apéro à la piscine qui donne une vraie ambiance de place de village, ainsi que les transats à disposition dans le jardin.Séjour

A relaxing and enjoyable stay with helpful staff and proximity to lovely beaches.
Pros:

The breakfast was superb - a huge variety of quality options including scrambled and boiled eggs, fresh and grilled vegetables, fresh and cut fruits, yoghurt and local honey, breads, pastries, cakes, juices, plus machine-made and barrista-made coffee.
The location was suitable - a short walk to a popular beach with an amazing view; a longer walk to other excellent beaches. Easy walking distance to supermarket, cafes and restaurants.
The gardens of the hotel were excellent - watered and green despite dry and hot weather, lots of trees and lounges throughout for relaxing in beautiful surroundings.

Cons:

Our room was small with no direct access to outdoors. There are other larger rooms with a view and/or a door to outside in the hotel that we would request next time.
The wifi dropped out for several days and the hotel told us it could not be fixed quickly because the provider responsible for the service was in Spain and could not get onsite to repair it for days.

Pros:

Nous avons passé un très beau séjour de 4 nuits à l’Hôtel Stefania.
Le petit-déjeuner, servi jusqu’à 10h, est varié, avec un bon choix de produits salés et sucrés. Il est servi dans l’espace restaurant (fermé), même si la salle est déjà assez chaude le matin.
La chambre était belle et confortable. L’hôtel dispose également d’une salle de sport en sous sol (chaude) équipée de 2 tapis de course, de 2 vélos et d’un banc de musculation. Il est possible de déjeuner et/ou de dîner sur place, au restaurant situé autour de la piscine. Le week-end, certaines soirées sont animées avec la présence d’un musicien.
La plage est facilement accessible à pied, à environ 5 minutes de l’hôtel. Des transats y sont disponibles avec priorité aux clients de l’hôtel. Une journée de transats est offerte pendant le séjour, ainsi qu’une boisson le jour de l’arrivée.
Le personnel est accueillant et agréable.

Uma estadia memorável num hotel encantador
Pros:

Tivemos o prazer de passar dias maravilhosos neste fantástico hotel! Desde o momento da chegada até à partida, tudo foi perfeito.
O hotel transmite uma atmosfera acolhedora e familiar que nos fez sentir como em casa. O facto de ser um estabelecimento pequeno, com poucos quartos, torna-o intimista e especial. A localização é privilegiada: a praia fica a poucos passos, tornando muito fácil disfrutar do mar sempre que desejámos.
As instalações são impecáveis. A piscina exterior é simplesmente óptima, e o jardim está magnificamente tratado e bem mantido, com espreguiçadeiras confortáveis para relaxar. É o local ideal para desfrutar de momentos de tranquilidade.
O restaurante é um destaque à parte! Localizado junto à piscina com uma esplanada encantadora, o ambiente é muito agradável. Aos fins de semana, a música ao vivo torna a experiência ainda mais especial. A qualidade da comida é excepcional: todos os pratos estavam muito bem confecionados e deliciosos.
Mas o que verdadeiramente nos conquistou foi o atendimento exemplar de toda a equipa. Os funcionários foram extraordinariamente atenciosos, prestáveis e simpáticos, contribuindo significativamente para a qualidade da nossa experiência.
Gostámos realmente muito desta estadia e temos a certeza absoluta de que voltaremos. Recomendamos este hotel a todos os viajantes que procuram conforto, qualidade e autenticidade!

Enttäuschend
Pros:

Der Strand. Das Strandservice war leider nur einmal kostenlos.
Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, aber nicht außergewöhnlich.

Cons:

Wir wahren nicht im Areal des Hotels sondern in einer benachbarten "Villa" über der Straße. Das Hotel und die Villa sind aus den 80igern und eben schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das Betrifft das Hotel, den Poolbereich, den Frühstücksraum. Mir ist nicht klar wo die 4 Sterne her kommen. Das Hotel verlangt einen Preis für 4 Sterne, bietet aber weniger als die meisten 3 Sterne Hotels die wir bei unser Reise durch Sardinien besucht haben. Es war mit Abstand die teuerste Unterkunft unseres Urlaubs, leider aber auch die schlechteste. Das Bad war nicht 100% sauber, alt und abgenutzt, Ausstattungsteile waren locker, Abdeckungen fehlten. Das Stahlrohrbett hat gequietscht, die Matratze war hart und durchgelegen. Die Eingangstür vom Freien hat nicht richtig geschlossen. Wir haben immer dreifach verriegelt, als wir zurück kahmen hat die Reinigungskraft immer nur die Tür zu gezogen ohne zu verriegeln.
