“Very Good Hotel”

This was a very nice hotel. I went in October (not peak time) so it was very quiet, but I was told by hotel staff that it does get very busy around June to early September. The staff are all very helpful and do their best to help you (i.e. calling taxi companies to get quotes and informing you of excursions available if you ask). The hotel is very clean and in excellent condition. The free breakfast on offer is the same everyday and is pretty basic, but still good, and the man serving the food is lovely. There is a lovely view of the sea, and the local town and beach are within walking distance of the hotel. A FREE shuttle service is available which takes you to the town and the beach. However this beach isn't the most amazing beach in the world. I would strongly suggest going on a boat trip (can be booked from the nearby port) which takes you to the surrounding beaches on the island (including Cala Luna and the breathtaking Cala Goloritze!) If you are looking for an area with good night life, I wouldn't recommend this area as apart from restaurants & the beach there isn't much to do. However if you want a relaxing break this is a great place to go, and I would definitely recommend this hotel. Very good value for money.

“Ok but......”

The hotel was perfectly ok as it was close to the national park so was easy for trekking but they say they have WiFi "in the hotel" which translates to only in reception. Their website and Expedia also say they have a gym. They don't.

“Hotel Brancamaria September 2011”

A very good 4 star hotel. Excellent staff - without exception, they were friendly, attentive and helpful. The restaurant had a good menu and fine food. The centre of the town is 1.5 Km away and the walk back is a little tiresome up hill on the road for part of the way - however, the hotel do have a free bus service during the day. We would definitely stay at this hotel again if visiting Cala Gonone.

“Superb friendly hotel”

This hotel met all our expectations and more. We booked well in advance through Expedia and got a great deal for peak time and flights with Lufthansa. Really good value. Our rooms ( Junior suite ) were first class, clean, plenty of space, well serviced, hot tub and safe. Worth the extra. Not all rooms have a sea view so check before hand. The hotel staff were fantastic to us. Reception staff speak passable English as do some of the waiters. Nothing was too much trouble. Sun shades can be hired free from hotel for beach but bring your own towels for the beach. Restaurant is fine, limited menu but well cooked . Lots of good places to eat in CalaGonone. Worth having the breakfast at the hotel - lots of rolls, meats fruit, croissants etc Great pool - large and fantastic views of coast. The hotel is at top of hill and about brisk 10 min walk into town and 15 min walk back. Most people arrived by car, but we didn`t and survived. The hotel runs a shuttle bus most of the day which takes you into to town and back at your convenience. This was excellent and the drivers so helpful. They will also take you a little further afield on request and booking. We survived without a car for two weeks, saving a lot of money, taking the boats to nearby beaches and the occasional organised trip by a local company. We arrived at Olbia airport and caught the tourist DE Plano bus from there to the hotel ( just 16 euros per person, as opposed to at least 140 euros for a taxi!! )

“Basic and clean”

Brancamaria is too basic for a 4* but clean. Reception service was excellent - most speak good english; the absent curtain at the toilet window was quickly replaced; shuttle service to town was relatively easy to reserve. Wifi was complementary but can only get connection in the hotel lobby. It has covered parking which is good during the hot summer however it can get busy during peak season which might be a pain. My experience in the hotel restaurant was not a pleasant one. The service was average; the quality of the food was disappointing. I would not recommend the hotel food there are plenty of high quality restaurants in town it is worth heading downhill for some decent italian food.

“Enjoyed My Time There”

My stay at the Hotel Brancamaria went very well. The staff is very helpful and friendly and the restaurant is decent. I rated it only 4 of 5 because their free Wireless Internet is for the lobby only, not the rooms, so I had to spend time sittin fin the lobby to get onl;ine. If wireless would have worked in my room then I would have rated it a 5.

“Nice hotel but not 4 star.”

This is a relatively new hotel but I would not agree with 4 star rating, certainly our room was more 3 star. Hotel is just as you enter Cala Gonone & about 3 min drive into the town. Breakfast was average cold meats & cheese, cornflakes, no fresh fruit & lots of cake! Staff very helpful & spoke some english. On site parking but only about 20 spaces & car access very narrow, road exit out for cars not yet finished currently more like a dirt track . Nice swimming pool. Room had a small fridge which was really helpful for our picnic lunches!!

“great place”

the hotel is great. service is good and friendly. we had a simple room but then we switched to a room with jacuzzi which is highly recommended. rooms are clean. breakfast is average not too much to choose from. the hotel is located on top of a hill so to go to the beach is better driving. you need a car to go around and to the beach. its only 5 minutes away to the beach by car. the area is good.

“Calm , convenient and in excellent state”

we stayed 15 nights in B&B. The hotel is in excellent conditions, the swimming pool is clean and large, the terrace is beautiful with a very nice view of the gulf. Going to the village requires about 1 km downhill walk . Continental breakfast item choice is not extremely wide but reasonable. For B&B customers the hotel was offering the hotel lunch for 15E and dinner for 20E. The quality of the food is correct, definitely good value for money. Rooms are large, silent, beds are very confortable, bathrooms very large and clean. Reception and cleaning staff is helpful and lovely, some waiters (seasonal kids) were a bit rude and lacked customer care and training. The hotel is close to a petrol station, and to the main road, maybe a drawback fro rooms with seaview, but we had mountain view. we loved our stay and i recommend this hotel for who wants a calm , confortable and nice hotel close to beautiful seascapes
