호텔 파르코 델리 울리비 - 사르데그나

l've spent 8 days in this quiet, rural hotel, located on the outskirts of Arzachena. Accommodation is traditional and charming - double room I had booked was furnished in classical Sardinian style that I really liked and had a lovely balcony with a view of well maintained garden. Cleaning standards are high and the whole area of the hotel is kept beautifully neat and tidy. Facilities are comfortable and practical. There's plenty of parking space, swimming pool is of a great size, although the water temperature was a bit cold. Very good breakfast with friendly and welcoming staff, greeting guests from early morning. I was glad to be able to check in a bit earlier, as I had arrived in the hotel just after 12 pm and was also offered a late checkout option upon my request. Staff at the reception was always welcoming and helpful. The only criticism I have is about the pool bar where I once had lunch and thought the service was not particularly customer oriented, not to mention a rather poor quality of the meal l ordered. It was a tiny portion of pasta with literally 3 mussels in it and was not hot enough. Also what is the point of serving bread rolls on the side, when the customer doesn't even get a small side plate with separate cutlery for it and some olive oil and butter? Little things definitely need to be improved at lunchtime in the pool bar. It does not come as a surprise, that this part of the hotel is not often used by customers as l've noticed during my stay. Overall, Parco Degli Ulivi is an ideal option for relaxing and unwinding in a peaceful and scenic Sardinian countryside, with all the attractions of beautiful Costa Smeralda within reach.

If you are seeking peace and serenity, then this is the hotel for you! We enjoyed beautiful grounds of the hotel, immaculate view from the swimming pool and restaurant, peaceful evenings at our room terrace. You do need a car to get around as the hotel is about 20 – 30 min to the nearest beach. But we didn’t mind it as it gave us the opportunity to get acquainted with the island.
