Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"My family eats here often and the quality of the food is ABSOLUTELY EXCEPTIONAL. made in house, grandma's recipes, & mostly local ingredients . Here is where I've experience some of the highest quality of food ive ever eaten in my entire life. & the VIEW!!!!!!! being up on a hill with a view of the valley and a neighboring huge stone of a mountain illuminated, is really what brings this place all together. Complimenti ogni volta!"
"Holidaying in Sardinia from the U.K. in mid June 2023, we stayed at this beautifully located 3 star hotel, near the town of Dorgali. The hotel is located approximately 10 minutes’ drive from Dorgali town centre.. There is parking within the hotel compound. We were warmly welcomed by Mariano, who checked us in. . Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean, with air conditioning - as was the bathroom. Breakfast was lovely, a good variety. This is a lovely hotel - in a tranquil location up a hill, overlooking the magnificent mountains. We had lunch and dinner in the restaurant, sitting both inside and the outside terrace.. From the outside terrace, the views of the mountains and Dorgali town are breathtaking, particularly at sunset. For lunch we had a variety of dishes - fish, meat and pasta. For dinner, we had pizza and pasta dishes. On both occasions we were warmly attended to by Francesco, who was helpful, friendly and professional. I recommend a stay at this hotel."
"I only visited for dinner, but wow was it worth it! The food was incredible and the staff were super friendly. What stole the show however was the view! Absolutely stunning!"
"This restaurant was amazing and we loved it! Excellent food quality, they use local products(cheeses,herbs,jams) from Dorgali farmers which gave the food amazing homemade flavors. We loved the dishes we ordered:ravioli,pasta with green sauce herbs,tiramissu(classic and fruit), local cheese board with variety of jams). Friendly staff, quiet location with amazing mountain views. Highly recommended if you are looking for natural authentic flavors."
"Everything well made, lovely staff! Fragula was divine and full of seafood"
"We were two friends hiking in the area and stayed here for three nights with half board . I felt very relaxed and at home in this secluded family run hotel . Lots of home produce with great coffee and excellent packed lunches. We were driven to start of hikes and collected at the end each day. Super friendly staff . We are already planning a return holiday hopefully in the not too distant future."
"The most lovely place. Located on a hill in the outskirts of the small town of Dorgali, surrounded by woods and with an amazing view on the valley. The owner is super nice and an endless source of interesting information about the area. The rooms are quite basic but large, well lit, and spotless. The restaurant offers a selection of delicious home-style local specialties and pizza. Cannot recommend this place enough."
"We stayed at the hotel for one night during our recent trip around Sardinia. Our room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfy. We also enjoyed very good dinner at the terrace with a beautiful view. The staff was very nice and our stay was overall a really pleasant experience. Wish we had more time to enjoy the place and explore the surroundings."
