17/08/2025: A magical place, a fairytale setting, a charming setting nestled in lush greenery. The history of this place can be felt and felt, and the music playing is beautiful. The hospitality and kindness were astonishing; we stopped by for a stopover on a road trip, unannounced and without reservations. Thanks to Mr. Renato and Chef Salvina, who runs it, for their kindness and patience with our many unexpected questions. Thanks to those who created and chose to share this dream. Next time, we'll stay overnight and dine. A hidden gem, not just for De André lovers. Paola and Renato from Brescia
15/08/2025: Disappointment compared to the past: a real shame... 😔
Three years ago, I stayed at this property and was enchanted by the peace, elegance, hospitality, and attention to detail. It was precisely that beautiful memory that brought me back this year, but unfortunately, the recent experience didn't live up to expectations.
The atmosphere remained the same, but all the attention that made it special was missing:
1) The welcome aperitif is no longer offered under the new management;
2) The room wasn't very clean; the microfiber sheets were gray (I hope they were at least washed), definitely not ironed;
3) The pool water looked unappealing, perhaps due to the recent rain, but it was neglected nonetheless;
4) The restaurant service was entrusted to two very young women who, unfortunately, were poorly trained to manage the dining room;
5) Breakfast was the biggest disappointment: mostly packaged and commercial-quality products, including industrial juices. Considering how much Sardinia has to offer in terms of artisanal products, this is truly a wasted opportunity.
Given the high price tag, one would expect a much higher standard. A stay in such an iconic property requires quality service and attention to detail.
This place—which was Fabrizio De André's hidden gem—deserves to reclaim the standards and poetry that made it special. Otherwise, it risks slipping into the anonymity of a run-of-the-mill hotel.
