“Hotel Rocce Sarde - Get away from it all”
Located high in the hills overlooking and the Bay of Cugnano and very close to the picturesque village of San Pantaleo, this hotel is a relaxing retreat that offers visitors stunning views of the surroundings. The hotel facilities were very good (such as the beach shuttle) although we found that some of the amenities indicated on the website were absent (e.g., DVD players in rooms) or seasonal (e.g., water aerobics). While this did not detract from a perfectly relaxing break at a hotel that formed a perfect base for the exploration of Costa Smeralda, Palau and further afield, it is noteworthy. Food served at the hotel was very good and flexible enough to accommodate vegetarians or those with other special dietary requirements despite it ostensibly offering only a set menu each day. The staff were very accommodating although their command of English was not universally very high. The staff seemed more fluent in German (possibly due to the high numbers of German visitors there). Hotel Rocce Sarde is very close to some wonderful beaches with Baia Sardinia, Porto Rotondo, and Cala di Volpe all nearby. Also nearby are many signs of the prehistoric Nuraghic culture. We found an exploration of La Maddalena Archipelago an absolutely essential part of any trip to the island. This area also offered Scuba diving and snorkelling. Good hill walking is also plentiful. Recommended.
