Su Gologone

Beautiful hotel in stunning surroundings. Our room was nothing special but had everything we needed. I asked for a softish bed due to a bad hip and the staff added a mattress topper for me. However, I still found the bed quite firm. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our stay in Sardinia and wanted complete rest so we didn't leave he hotel at all. The sea food at the Gazebo was to die for although it was really hot sitting eating there at lunch time even with fans running. Evening meal in the hotel restaurant was superb. We ordered too much food but did get a chance to try most of their offerings. I found the suckling pig dry, the roasted lamb was delicious, wild boar was ok and I also enjoyed the goat. The pool area was nice and clean, my only criticism here was that there was not enough shade. The shade from the static, thatched parasols did not cover the double sun beds and because they were static then it was difficult to get shade unless you dragged sunbeds under the limited shade from trees. Shady spots were popular and if we arrived at the pool after 10am, there was no shade left. All in all we really enjoyed our stay so the negatives are meant as constructive criticism and did not spoil our stay in the slightest.

From the moment we turned into the drive entering the hotel property, we knew we were about to experience something amazing. The Old Spanish architecture was charming. We were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff members who made us feel right at home. Our room was clean and comfortable, and had all the amenities you would expect. The dining experiences were first class and afforded outdoor views that were simply stunning. We found the service to be prompt and pleasant. The food was great! The location of the hotel was convenient to many wineries and other attractions. For us, one of the best features was the quiet and totally relaxing atmosphere. Our stay was wonderful and we would definitely stay there again.

We loved this hotel more than any we have ever stayed in. So many things to see and so many experiences on offer. The rooms and bathroom were slightly disappointing, but the other areas made up for that. The general restaurant has the most stunning views. I couldn't imagine a nicer setting for breakfast. The food was traditional and very good. Prices in the bar are similar to the UK. Every corner of the entire grounds was like an art gallery, or a museum, or just beautifully landscaped gardens. They grow lots of their own produce too. Very pleasant staff, which was always the case at other 6 hotels we stayed in during our trip

This is a very different kind of hotel. I believe it started off as a restaurant and so many people came here to eat. They built a hotel around it. The hotel comprises several different white stucco buildings scattered around the property. The people at the front desk could not have been nicer with a special shout out to the lovely Simona. The restaurant serves hardy, adequate fare with a nice selection. They also have a reasonably priced wine list. It was a perfectly pleasant place to have one’s evening meal before walking back to the room. The flora of the property is quite stunning with both wild and potted flowers everywhere which sent the air with a perfume smell. This is far from any busy roads so it is a very quiet place and very suitable to getting a great nights sleep. They have a very nice pool with full service to the clients and a great gym as well. We were a little bit, disappointed in the upper Terrace. The way the sofas are designed make it hard to lean back. Moreover, because it was so busy, we did have some difficulty getting good tables there in the evening. This being said, the drinks were very well crafted and came with a generous array of little snacks as is the custom in Italy. They also have another, very agreeable bar down by the reception area, which is where we ended up most nights. The people who work there were very nice. For breakfast, they had just about anything you could want. Sometimes, toward the end of the breakfast service, they would run out of various items and not replenish them. Some mornings we were offered coffee by the servers. Other mornings, without any explanation, we Made it ourselves at a self service machine in the breakfast room. Not really a problem just a little confusing. This place mostly gets points for its location. It is in the mountains and offers a vast array of activities such as hiking, rock, climbing, swimming. You name it. The hotel will help arrange these activities and, in my opinion, they were all fairly priced. There is a lovely, freshwater stream within walking distance of the hotel, and it is also located close to many Nuraghe excavations. I also recommend a drive over to Cala Ganone, a very pretty beach town, not far from the hotel. The owner of the hotel is always on site and could not have been more gracious, lovely, and helpful. I admire her for what she has done with this property. This is by no means a luxury hotel. In fairness to them, they do not profess to be. They have a mini golf course, which is in desperate need of maintenance. They appear to cater to groups of bicyclists and other tour groups, which sometimes cause a little congestion. Also, people with motility issues need to be aware. There are a lot of steps. Also, the rooms sometimes are built on different levels and with the white floors in the white steps, it can be very easy to trip. In summary, I’m very glad we went here. If you love the outdoors and want to get a taste of the mountainous part of Sardinia, this is a solid choice. I recommend it.

Positives-Friendly and efficient staff. Beautiful grounds and gardens. Large pool that’s clean and at a good temperature. Dinner was very good and the wine is reasonably priced. Negatives-The chairs in the restaurant are uncomfortable. The sun loungers by the pool are too low and there’s not enough shaded areas. Breakfast was disappointing as they do not seem to replenish the bacon and scrambled eggs regularly. There’s very little salad or vegetables on offer. The homemade bread was all gone by 9.15 and not replaced. Overall - There’s not enough staff at this large and sprawling hotel to focus on the detail that would warrant the extra star review. For the price it should be better.
