Perfect location set on the hillside above Porto Cervo. Sardinian styled hotel, nicely furnished and decorated in local style, although the breakfast/dining room beside the pool could have been warmer. Excellent value for money for this area of the country. The staff were all extremely friendly and their recommendations for local restaurants were top notch, particularly for the end of season.

Set in the hills just above Porto Cervo, the hotel offers remarkable architecture and fully integrated design furniture. Extremely helpful staff. A restaurant with full English breakfast, and high-quality cuisine lunch and dinner. Altogether a lovely experience of Sardinian hospitality. Great value for money.

We stayed here for 2 nights and paid the upgrade for a panoramic view. Sadly what they dont mention is that your view is there but there are also some pretty huge palm trees blocking some of it so you dont get to see much from your room. Still lovely room, nice facilities and great location. Restaurant food was amazing but you should book as eating outside is not an option due to the sheer volume of wasps that are attracted. Be prepared to wait for a seat inside at breakfast and you will be bombarded with wasps otherwise, it is a real shame as eating breakfast whilst enjoying the view is part of the attraction here.

We stayed in Hotel Balocco for part of our honeymoon from 28 September - 6 October and had a Junior Suite. Upon arrival, a bottle of prosecco was in the room to welcome us. Our room was very comfortable with a large balcony overlooking the sea and marina. The room was bright, clean and spacious, with a large bathroom and jacuzzi bath. The hotel itself was set out nicely, with a bar overlooking Porto Cervo. The pool and bathing area was nice and relaxing, with a bar service.

The hotel staff were all exceptionally helpful, courteous and friendly - nothing was too much trouble, which made the experience all the better. The staff were all very cheery with smiles for their guests.

The breakfast, served near the pool, was good and the coffees were great! We also ate in the restaurant a couple of evenings during our stay and the food and wine were both very good.

To top off our week, a further bottle of prosecco greeted us one afternoon on my husband's birthday, which the hotel had noted.

Overall, the week was relaxing, peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable.
