About the Hotel

Tucked into the rugged landscape of Barbagia near Oliena, Sardinia, Su Gologone Experience Hotel is far more than a place to stay—it is an immersive celebration of Sardinian art, cuisine, craftsmanship and tradition. Originally opened as a restaurant in 1967, the family-run property has evolved into a distinctive 71-room retreat where every space reflects the island, from locally carved wood and traditional textiles to works by Sardinian artists. Accommodations range from characterful rooms to imaginative Experience Suites and the Wild Suite, where guests can even sleep beneath the stars. The hotel’s 25-meter spring-fed pool, hot tub and small spa—featuring treatments incorporating Sardinian aromatic and medicinal herbs—provide peaceful places to unwind. Food remains at the heart of the experience, with traditional cheeses, handmade pasta, pane carasau, spit-roasted meats and local wines showcased at the main restaurants.

Reviews for Su Gologone

Exceptional service and a very memorable stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 19 hours ago

We really enjoyed our stay at Su Gologone. The service was exceptional from beginning to end. Even small touches, like taking our luggage directly from the car when we arrived and bringing it back down for us at departure, made the experience feel especially thoughtful. The property itself is wonderful. We loved all of the intimate little nooks, terraces, and spaces throughout the hotel—it feels like there is always somewhere new to discover, and so much of the design and experience seems very intentional. We had half board and thought the dinner was excellent. We also arranged a private art class for our children, which they really enjoyed, along with visiting the chickens and exploring the garden. Our only minor frustrations were really more a matter of timing, circumstance, and cultural differences than faults of the hotel. There was a wedding taking place during part of our stay, so certain restaurant and bar areas were unavailable at times, and the property was a bit noisier and more crowded than it otherwise might have been. Dinner beginning at 8:00 p.m. is completely normal in Sardinia, but it can be difficult when traveling with young children. The hotel was very accommodating and made plain pasta for our kids through room service even outside normal kitchen hours, which we greatly appreciated. That said, after eating mostly plain pasta at our previous hotel as well, we would have loved to see a few more child-friendly meal options. As Sardinia becomes easier to reach from the U.S. and attracts more American families, I think hotels and restaurants offering even a small kids’ menu—with a few simple alternatives to pasta—would be welcomed with open arms. At the same time, we completely understand that this isn’t traditionally expected here and certainly wouldn’t hold it against the hotel. Overall, we had a wonderful stay. Su Gologone is distinctive, beautiful, full of character, and clearly run by people who care about the guest experience. We would happily recommend it.

Love this place! But don’t expect a usual 5* it’s 5* but in its own quirky way, and that’s why it’s a must visit exper i

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

If you love quirky and unique places which include, nature, art, rustic, historic, authentic Sardinia, then you must book this place. Its owner had created something truly magical here. Her touch is everywhere around the complex. Filled with Sardinian art collected over many years, some ancient and some contemporary. It’s hard to explain this hotel as you need to see it to understand and appreciate. I have travelled all over the world, and at some excellent hotels, but this one comes left field but in a really good way. I do understand some of the negative comments, but really they are not seeing the place for what it really is. Tbh. I would suggest that perhaps you need some depth to fully appreciate what has been cleverly created here. I’ve been in business for very long time, and the ingredients of something amazing are here. It’s still growing and evolving and will probably not stop. I hope! Especially in this day and age of artificial nonsense. This place is exactly real and rustic and we both loved it. We shall be back!!

2/3 Star Experience for 5 Star Price - DO NOT RECOMMEND

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

This is not a good hotel for kids and honestly dirty and not worth the money, it’s SO expensive for an outdated and dirty hotel with an unheated pool, mediocre food, and aging furniture and grounds - we left early. For PARENTS: we checked in to our hotel room and the floors are slick, including in the shower, where my 7 year old daughter fell and hit her head. Over the next two days, my kids fell multiple times on the slick floors. I would also suspect there are mold in the hotel rooms. And there are no duvets - just scratchy blankets. Given the cost of this hotel, I would expect a way higher standard. We checked out early and I asked for my money back for the last night (almost $2,000), which they refused despite the unsafe accommodation for families. Until I requested my money back, the staff was kind, but the manager was unreasonable and rude. I also note the hotel is dirty - the “mini golf” is plastic and dirty, and the offerings on their website are not available. We booked a cooking class weeks before our arrival which was not available when we showed up. The pool and hot tub are not heated, and surrounded by dirty furniture. I would not recommend staying here - 3 star accommodations for 5 star prices. The area is lovely though - stay somewhere else. 10000000% not worth even half the cost of a nightly stay.

Beautiful and Unique Hotel in a stunning location

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 months ago

I had the pleasure staying Hotel Su Gologone in early May 2026 and it was a truly magical experience. While doing research to plan a mother daughter road trip around Sardegna, I stumbled upon a photo of the hotel that sparked my curiosity. I looked it up and was immediately smitten so of course I had to rearrange my plans to include it in my itinerary. My mom and I spent three nights at Hotel Su Gologone. It was the perfect place to end our 3 week travel adventure. Everything was amazing, from start to finish. We felt welcomed as soon as we walked into reception. All the staff I encountered or interacted with was friendly and warm. The owner Giovanna is a lovely and talented woman. Her artistic vision is what makes the hotel extra special. Her own personal artwork can be seen throughout the hotel, along with an extensive collection of art from various Sardinian artists. The entire hotel is like a museum, showcasing the local culture and traditions — pottery, traditional masks and costume. It’s a treasure trove of art and history. The hotel grounds is huge. I got lost a few times trying to get back to my room but I found that to be part of the fun because I was constantly discovering something interesting. Literally every corner is a pleasant surprise. There is so much to see. I wish I could have stayed at the hotel longer. There is a cute little library full of books about Sardegna, cute little nooks to chill out in, beautiful gardens, and so much more. The restaurant is always very busy at dinner time as it is also open to non-guests. I dined there twice during my stay. The food is good. It is traditional Sardinian cuisine so don’t go expecting what you would see in a typical fine dining establishment — the cuisine is simple but delicious as it is made well and with fresh ingredients. I especially loved the culurgiones and the roasted meats. I was really looking forward to one of the specialty dining experiences (Sos Nidos or dinner in the vegetable garden) but unfortunately they were not yet open as I visited early in the season. I was able to experience the bread making demonstration however and it was really nice. My favorite place of the hotel is the Magic Tablao bar. The setting is spectacular. It is beautifully decorated with incredible views of the dramatic Supramonte mountains. The prices are a little steep but the cocktails are well made — both tasty and pretty. Needless to say I racked up a small bill there. On our first night there was live music. I don’t remember the name of the gentleman singing but he was very talented and also super engaging and fun. The room I stayed in had a huge terrace with a bathtub outside. Having a bath outside surrounded by nature and incredible views as the sun is coming up is nothing short of spectacular. This hotel is simply amazing. It is worth the money for the experience. I have stayed in many hotels in my lifetime and I have to say that this one is the most unique. I hope that I get the opportunity to stay at this charming hotel again in the future. I would love to partake in one of the workshops next time around and spend more time soaking in the atmosphere. Special shout out to Christian who was so incredibly friendly, welcoming and a delight to converse with.
