“Great Getaway!!!”

The hotel was exceptional and the staff were very friendly. We were greeted by a valet who took care of our luggage and assisted us to check in. He then gave us the layout of the room and told us everything we needed to know about the hotel. The pool was lovely and clean, but lounge chairs were a premium. Would recommend you put your towels out BEFORE going to breakfast - which was located on the west lawn (fantastic views and terrific breakfast). The hotel grilled at lunch and you could order fish or meat, a pasta dish or anything off the small menu. The bar was open all day until midnight. Their bartenders were excellent and remembered our room number after the first nite. The town was exactly 20 minute scenic walk, but uphill for a part of the way. The town closes down at 1 p.m. until 5 or 6. Plan accordingly. Dinner starts around 7 at local restaurants and goes until late! I would advise against the Big Red Bus and just walk. Take the boat to the Grotto - but it costs extra to see the grotto (not really worth it). Do the all day boat trip with lunch and swimming/snorkeling. Much better option. This is a great long weekend trip unless you rent a car to get out and about. Loved the hotel...this one or the Carlos V hotel would be an excellent option!

“Very Nice Stay”

This was our first visit to Sardinia and Alghero and we were looking for someplace that wasn't directly in the center of all the activity and noise but was still within walking distance of the old town and port. The Calabona fit the bill perfectly. The room was clean and modern and in great condition. Included breakfast was good. Notably, the staff was EXTREMELY informative, helpful, and attentive. I would definitely return.

“Great location, great scenery and convenient. Excellent quality”

Would definitely recommend this hotel. Everything was as good or better than we expected.

“Can't wait to go back”

The Calbona is an older style hotel and is a little dated but the friendly and helpful staff and the superb location more than make up for the decor. The hotel has a large swimming pool and its own private beach and our room had a balcony over looking the sea and well kept hotel gardens The hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the historic centre of the town and main restaurants and bars but the walk along the sea coast into town provides stunning views and is well worth the effort We had booked on a B&B basis so only ate in the hotel once and this was a bit disappointing. The food was nothing special and a bit on the pricey side but during the day the poolside bar offers a good range of drinks, snacks and lunches at a reasonable price The reception staff were particulalrly friendly and helpful and made suggestions about places to visit and things to see on the Island. We loved it and hope to go back sometime soon

“The nicest, most helpful staff!!!!”

The hotel was very nice and clean. Located on a private beach and 20 minutes walk into town. Great place for families. The outdoor breakfast cafe was breathtaking. I can't wait to go back!

“Not a bad place”

Clean, generally friendly, with a great pool and good breakfast. We did have our sandals and one of our T-shirts stolen/missing though which spoilt things a bit.

“Great hotel for relaxing”

The staff at Calabona are wonderful, friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. The room was a good size and very clean, with a balcony overlooking the sea. Breakfast was great with a large selection and good coffee. The hotel is a short walk to the main town where there are lots of good restaurants and shops. If you want a relazing holiday in the sun with a clean pool and close beach this is for you.

“More of a Group Hotel”

A bit outside of the old town of Alghero, the Calabona is by itself (no other hotels, restaurants, etc.). It seems to cater more to groups than individuals. The swimming pool is not heated. The facilities are fine and the staff is friendly. A 10-minute walk brings you into the old town.

“Bellissime vacanze - ma la camera era una grossa delusione”

L'albergo è situato in una bellissima e quasi tranquilla posizione, ca 25 min passeggiata lungomare e si arriva all'quartiere vecchio con tanti buoni ristoranti, negozzi, bar etc. Avevamo pagato di piu per una camera superior, che purtroppo era molto piccola, poco spazio, niente cassette, con una doccia piccolissima e sopratutto uno specchio (niente armadietto) con una luce per dir poco, strana. La vista era sensazionale sul Capo Caccia, ma il balcone aveva spazio per solo una persona se si voleva sedersi comodamente. Nessuna separazione del balcone dei vicini - zero privacy. Questo non era 4 stelle! Peccato perché il resto era quasi perfetto: tranquilità, pulizia, fantastica colazione sotto tenda vista mare, ottima la scelta dei cibi ed il servizio, bel bar, personale molto gentile, accoglienza perfetta, molto disponibile per qualsiasi aiuto (a parte che non ci volevano dare una seconda sedia in camera). Beh ..la spiaggia è piccola, nell'acqua roccioso (ma questo si sà dall'Internet ) con all'inizio tante alghe. Ci sono belle spiaggie vicini. Piscina grande con accanto lettini un po stretti l'uno all'altro - ma questo non ci interessava. 3 volte abbiamo pranzato: cibo e prezzo piu o meno OK, a cena mai in albergo. (Pero con brutto tempo o freddo si mangia nel ristorante che si trova quasi in cantina! Fortunatamente avevamo una settimana splendida). Insomma: vacanze rilassante, la Sardegna è bella - peccato per l'alloggio
