“August trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

Well, first of all i would like to say that this hotel is not as fancy and new as people might think (looking at the price)
but i've been traveling to this hotel for past 3 years. i would like to state that in period from 5th of august to 15th, its a best time to be there.
besides a great relax zone and super amazing meals, rooms are not bad too.
the best thing is the people you get to seee there. from presidents family members and billianers business men to top fashion and movie celebrities.

its a nice trip to have a great time with really nice people. and in good/smart cases create a great contact list for yourself

Room Tip: request a first floor rooms since you get a nice area to relax in the evening

“Too big for its boots”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 8, 2012

Stayed at Cala di Volpe for 3 nights for a wedding. The hotel has become too big for its boots. It's certainly not worth the ridiculous price tag.

The receptionist showed us half way to our room and said "just go down the stairs, take a right and your room is there." The room was actuallly on the left!

We had to follow up repeatedly to for simple requests like ironing/ laundry, getting our passports back after check-in and so on. Some of the service professional did not speak good English, which is surpising.

All in all, a disappointing stay at what has been lauded as the best hotel in Sardinia.

“Beautiful but not 5 Star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 6, 2012

I won a prize to stay here and the hotel and it's settings were fantastic, but in a five star hotel I do not expect chipped jugs with milk in at breakfast, and kitchen roll still stuck to my salad! It was as though because it was a prize the effort was not quite there. Also items billed to my room that belonged to others as no one ever asked you to prove your room number, the extra items were removed once I questioned them! The grounds are stunning and the staff friendly but I have stayed at 5 star hotels in Dubai and can say those experiences were truly 5 Star.... I would rate this hotel at best 4 star!!! Very expensive and rooms are a bit dated!!!

“It’s worth it…”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2012

My wife and I typically stay at very good hotels so we don’t get impressed easily, but Cala di Volpe impressed us immensely. In fact, the more spoiled you are the more you will appreciate this arguably best resort on the Sardinian Emerald Coast.
They will save you the hoopla over using fresh, natural food, but bite their strawberry and you will suddenly remember your childhood. All the marvelous dishes we tasted were served exactly the way I like it: short on an attempt to create an extravagant work of art (like in some Michelin rated but not particularly inspiring restaurants), but long on taste. It was truly delicious. Even meat tastes meatier there.
This place has become a quiet recluse for those-who-know from around the world. I’ve seen an elegant couple from Brazil, geeky looking young Chinese executive with his wife, surprisingly quiet Russian couple plus the usual assortment of well healed French and Germans. During our stay a well-known Romanian anchorwoman had her wedding here. So the resort was full of gorgeous and smart looking young people.
After Cala di Vope we spent a few days at one of the best known hotels in Rome. Suddenly, the bed was not as comfortable, towels – not as fluffy and even the service not as intuitive.
I read complains of how pricey Cala di Volpe is and I finally understood why it is so expensive – because it’s worth it!

Room Tip: Room 272 is superb!
