We stayed here at the end of September for our base at the North of the island. The hotel is in an excellent location to explore the superb beaches of the Cosa Smerelda! Location is also great as you can walk for 3-4 minutes to get the ferry to La Maddelana. Rooms are big and spacious and common areas well... More

This is a very good, professionally run hotel in the center of Palau. The location is quite nice but the hotel doesn't have its own beach. Our room was spacious, beautifully designed and very comfortable. We slept very well. The hotel must have been recently refurbished, since everything is in excellent condition. The rooms and the rest of the hotel... More

We stayed in La Vecchia Fonte for two nights and would have been happy to stay longer. The room was great, good size, clean and with all the facilites we'd need. The balcony was an added bonus and a great place to relax and watch the world go by after a busy day sight seeing. The staff were friendly and... More

We stayed in Palau 2 nights, nice place very chilled out and good atmosphere. The Hotel was just ok for what you pay, specially if you travel with young children. There are NO WIFI signal in the rooms, NO KETTLE or coffee in the room. VERY POOR BREAKFAST. WATER from TAP quite DIrty. No value for money.

Dear Sirs, we thank you for coming to visit us in Palau. I'd like to give you more information about our services: you can find free kettles in the Superior rooms whereas in the Classic ones (the kind of room you booked) you can get kettles on request. The wi-fi connection is available just in the hall. In the room... More

This is a lovely hotel in all respects - beautiful clean rooms (and big in our case, we had a superior double), good breakfast, welcoming staff. Our only hesitation in recommending the hotel is the location. We chose to stay in Palau close by the ferry port as we were in transit for one night but if we were staying... More

Central location, only yards from Palau's shops & restaurants, overlooking the marina, and just a short walk to the port for frequent ferry crossings to La Maddalena. Front desk staff extremely friendly and helpful, both in person during our stay and via efficient response to email queries prior to arrival. Continental buffet breakfast offers good choice & is constantly re-stocked... More

The hotel, the room and breakfast is very nice. We went there to relax two days after a Business conference... (in April, out of the high season) The only problem, which is major in my opinion is the Disco just the building next the hotel. We stayed for two nights. The first was a small nightmare as the noise stopped... More

Great service at this hotel. After our rental car agreement made on Orbitz failed to get us a car from Thrifty/Dollar at the Olbia airport (the woman behind the desk at Thrifty didn't even care or try to help us) we called the hotel and they arranged a taxi for us for 50 Euros which was a deal considering the...

I had business in La Maddelena and this hotel was recommended by a friend, what a wonderful place. If you haven't been, Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda (Emerald Cost) is very picturesque, everything you would expect the italian country side to be. In the spring the country side is in bloom and there is plenty to explore as you drive... More
