Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Palumbalza Porto Rotondo

WiFi not so good

Our stay was average hence the average rating. The rooms are dated and the service in the restaurant was average we are sorry to say. For the price our expectations were higher. Few annoying items would be no cold tap in the bathroom and having to pay €20 per day for parking even though you are in the middle of nowhere! The location is very nice with some amazing views.

Such a beautiful place to stay. The staff were lovely! It was very clean and comfortable. I would suggest hiring a car as it’s quite remote although there is a beautiful beach in walking distance. Also the meals and drinks there are expensive (but delicious!). We definitely will come back!

Not the type of hotel for foreigners, not a good location for sight seeing. The hotel isn’t helpful with recommendations for things to do or what to see.

It was ok but having the staff asking if I could give them a haircut… after knowing I’m a hairdresser. Not good at all.

quite and nice rooms with a terrace we small terrace was great

The food in the main restaurant along with the service was excellent - especially the Fregola. Plus the breakfast was lovely.

Lovely location and staff very helpful it made out stay enjoyable and relaxing

I had very pleasant stay In Palumbalza hotel , staff is very professional and kind, hotel is clean and I would definitely recommend this place

Beach not really nice. Definitely not for small kids as there is not any playground etc. Also you need a car to move around as taxi is way too expensive.

The hotel is tucked away in a beautiful little Sardinian cove about 25 minutes from Olbia Airport. You'll need a car if you want to do any excursions or day trips but for a short stay it's perfect to unwind by the pool or the sea. The restaurant serves top notch Italian pasta and risotto dishes and the bar very good local beers and wines. Definitely recommended for a 4-5 day stay.

An amazing stay, with very friendly staff who were courteous and efficient with our needs. Only bad things are - Dinner, you need to be there early or the appetisers will run low but it's a buffet style so there is always something available to eat. A lot of talk about this hotel secluded. It is BUT don't be fooled. You can simply walk to an amazing beach nearby. The terrain is fun as it's walking on rocks and through shallow water and beware of the wasp nest who have held these grounds for centuries but they nest in the ground so they are avoidable.

Staff are very unhelpful. We were in a room which had a drain in the courtyard it was dangerous and unsanitary and our bathroom had mould in the shower. Also cover charge is super expensive and food is average at best

Exquisite setting, lovely staff. Very professional, however a bit vague. Probably not their fault , my Italian is not exactly completely up o scratch.However the closest town / harbor is Porto Rotonno (2.5 miles away). This is the North East coast of Sardinia (Costa Smeralda). It's posh but not over the top. Stylish, but not South of France prices. It's still as expensive as central London so be prepared to spend plenty of cash!

Lucky last minute find online. Welcoming staff, friendly and accommodating. Just out of the way enough to encourage exploration of the area out and about. Definitely advise a hire car. Short walk along the coastline - literally on the shoreline - to a wide open beach with good facilities. Can swim in sea directly from hotel but will need shoes (rocky and sea urchins aplenty). Great boat hire facilities on site! Excellent breakfast. Good range of food. Lunch and evening meals a bit pricey, and much greater variety available in nearby Porto Rotondo, which is only 5-10min drive away. All in all an excellent stay.

Great location with a view over the bay from sunset till late afternoon, this is obviously more timeshare than hotel, but the breakfasts were great and the breakfast service very good and friendly. Facilities such as pool and private beach help with restaurant and boat trips on tap as required. Secluded private property well looked after meant for a relaxing 3 days before heading on to the last stop before the airport. Only blot on the landscape was the lack of blanket - yes was required at night, no glasses in the room and a fridge that needed a converter to be plugged in. No points to the housekeeping team on that lot. Would go back again, but would inventory the room before closing the door on entry.

Very pretty location & beautiful clear sea. Not exactly a beach (30m at most) no local bars or shops or transport, a car is a MUST to see any of the area & hire is VERY expensive. Pool FREEZING,! No other facilities.

There is no where to walk to so you need a car, no bus nearby and taxis come from Olbia so €50 to get to you then on to wherever. Taxi from airport €50 20 min journey, driver spoke English and have lots of advice. Hotel staff speak little English so this was a bit difficult. We had to eat at hotel as no transport and car hire v expensive so book before you go. Food very often just warm and cold on one occasion so was sent back. Lacked 'soul' a bit lack lustre really. Two nice little beaches but not like the ones you see in brochures but the ones on hotel website were accurate. Situated on a nice bay where numerous sail boats and cruisers would moor up so we would watch this as only thing going on but that was about the total of any excitement! I would only return if there was a car and or a bus service otherwise choose somewhere else.

Very nice hotel with amazing views to the port and the beach and good amenities for families but far from everything and not great access to the beach. Not entertainment at nights for young people and going out will cost you 20€ just on the taxi. The restaurant was very good and the surroundings too. Staff were very friendly and helped with everything we needed

4* hotel in beautiful location though hard to get to and navigate from if you don't drive which I ddon't. airport transfer was 45€ in metered taxi (hotel transfer 50-55€). You can get coach transfers cheaper but need to be prebooked 2 days in advance (Hoppa) Great breakfast especially scrambled eggs and fresh juice Just managed to get wifi from room 1.204 (it's only in reception area) Most staff nice, some could be nicer. Small touch ups would have made it 5* rating all round Very good for price
