“The only place to stay out of season - enjoy it almost to yourself !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

Is a marvellous hotel right in the famous town of Porto Cervo. Was there out if season so everything was closed but still the hotel is open and provides great service at prices you could never get during the summer. A hotel steeped in history it is beautiful inside

“Nice hotel, but overpriced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

We stayed at the hotel for three nights in May 2012. The hotel is very nice and luxurious, no doubt, but in my eyes overpriced. We booked a room rate without breakfast and then had to pay 70 Euros extra for breakfast for two people! The next day we had breakfast outside of the hotel... Also the prices for room service are ridiculous.
The other thing is, Porto Cervo in May is pretty much a dead place, and everywhere else we went in Sardinia there was a lot more life and good value for money.

Dear Kukident,

We are glad to know you enjoyed your holiday in our hotel. However, we regret to learn that your experience was not completely satisfactory. In regards to you concerns regarding the cost of our breakfast, if we might, we would like to suggest you to try more convenient room packages in which this meal is included, like our half board treatment, or even to take advantage of our full board one which, thanks to our special Dine Around Program, also gives guests the opportunity to taste the cuisine of our other hotels, Cala di Volpe, Pitrizza and Romazzino at not supplementary costs. In regards to the period you visited us, we are sorry to know you were not able to enjoy the many beauties and activities the Cervo has to offer. May, with its mild climate, is the perfect time of the year to enjoy the suggestive beaches and the blooming nature as also to discover the typical surrounding villages, archaeological sites, playing golf or shopping in the prestigious boutiques of Porto Cervo famous Piazzetta. In addition, at the beginning of May the hotel, together with its sister properties mentioned above, organises the Porto Cervo Wine Festival: a great opportunity to enjoy wine tasting and the other many other side events that animates the heart of the village at the beginning of the summer season. We would like to thank you for sharing your opinion, really important to us in order to improve, and hope we will have the pleasure to welcoming you again.

“A lovely hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 19, 2012

This is a really lovely hotel in a beautiful resort setting with lots of expensive shops. The room was excellent and the service could not be faulted. The bar was extremely comfortable with the view over the Porto Cervo Piazza from the outside tables and a singer and pianist entertaining every night. The hotel has it's own private beach reached by launch although when we went there had been storms so it was not at its best. The restaurants were very nice but the same menu was served in both the main restaurants. Also the menu was not very imaginative but this could have been because it was the end of the season. My only concern was the cost of the drinks in this hotel. A typical bottle of wine was around €70, a bottle of beer €14, a cocktail €30 and a small bottle of Coke €15 which I thought was a bit high, no wonder the bar was empty whenever we went in there. Provided this is not a problem this is a recommended hotel to visit.

We are glad to know that you enjoyed your holiday at Cervo and that you could appreciate all the services offered as also its location, suggestive architecture and typical room design. However, we regret to learn that your visit to our private beach was marred by the bad weather conditions. We hope you had the opportunity to alternatively enjoy the hotel swimming pools, one available in the main building and the other two (one outdoor, one indoor) in the nearby Cervo Tennis Club. We are also sorry that our restaurant, usually highly appreciated amongst all our guests, did not completely meet your expectations. If we might, for your next visit, we would like to suggest you to also try the cuisine of our other outlets: Il Pescatore, with its exquisite seafood and fish dishes, Il Pomodoro, famous for its typical Mediterranean cuisine and pizzas, or the Esmeralda Churrascaria, where to enjoy sizzling grilled meat with a Brazilian twist. As in regards to your drinks concerns, please consider that prices are also reflective of the high level of services provided to our customers as also of the bar location right in the famous village Piazzetta, a step away from the most exclusive boutiques and the village old arbour, with its yachts and beautiful emerald sea . We would like to thank you for sharing your opinion and look forward to welcoming you again in our hotel.

“Words cannot express just how fantastic this hotel is.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2012 via mobile

My wife and I have been holidaying here for 16 years. We return regularly to "our home in Sardinia" for the exemplary and professional yet friendly service at the hotel. It has a relaxing and stunning setting in the centre of the chic village of Porto Cervo . One can sunbathe by the beautiful inner courtyard pool but be literally only a few steps from one of the most exclusive shopping areas in the world with all the top European fashion houses being represented. The hotel offers spacious rooms, most of which have a private terrace or balcony, which are very tastefully decorated. The hotel's private beach is reached by their own launch which is a real treat.There are several associated bars and restaurants to cater to all tastes from a great pizzeria to the fine dining of "the grill". Our favourite bar is the "Cervo" which boasts a fabulous situation overlooking the village piazetta and has tasteful live music which enhances the setting. I recommend their Bellini which surpasses even that of the famous "Harry's Bar" but their mixologist can conjure up any cocktail you might wish for. We cannot wait for our next visit!

Dear guidomanfredi,
We are sorry to learn that your visit at the bar of our Hotel was for you disappointing and that you were not able to appreciate what makes it famous amongst our guests and many external visitors: the Bar Cervo, in the heart of the village, is the ideal place to enjoy the famous Piazzetta, perfect for a coffee during the day or an aperitif in the evening while overlooking the old harbour. Please note that for the Italian laws prices do not need to be fixed, leaving the freedom to the operators the pricing management. In addition, we would like to underline that a menu with the exact costs is available and visible at the counter at all time and that our professional staff always provides customers with the list before serving them. We regret that your visit was for you a negative experience and hope you might visit us again.
