“Our Wonderful stay at Grand Hotel Capo Testa Sardinia”

An excellent hotel with amazing outstanding food. Super customer service in a picturesque setting! Ceanliness was excellent.

“Well worth it in beautiful Sardinia.”

Location: The hotel is situated about 10mins drive from Santa Teresa Gallura in Northern Sardinia. You definitely need a car when you are there as there is not much within close walking distance. The parking is free of charge which was a nice added bonus. The backdrop with the swimming pool and sea in the background is drop dead gorgeous. We only used the pool once as we loved the beach so much where the hotel has its own sunchairs and parasols (for free). Breakfast: The breakfast buffet was a delight with a great variety of hot and cold buffet food. Can highly recommend the freshly made pastries and cakes they had! Oh and the coffee, none of this machine made coffee. The waiter brings you freshly made coffee the real Italian way. One tiny Ristretto and you are set for the day! Dining: We had dinner only once in the hotel restaurant as it was either a set menu or limited choice from the set menu (can pick one of two main courses or entrees). I would recommend that the hotel has a larger à la carte which could perhaps see more people eating in their restaurant as it was often half empty. There is a snack bar by the pool which we did not try but that is open until 7pm. After that you can get a croque monsieur or small pizza from the bar which was one of the best pizzas we had on the island! One recommendation is to go and eat next door at the restaurant called "S'Andira" which is a 10 min walk uphill but they had a beautiful terrace that overlooks the sea and to watch the sun-set from there is a must. Food was delicious too! Room: A very comfortable room with a good bed & pillows with a small terrace. Room got cleaned daily and they have a turndown service with small chocolates on the pillows. It's the small details that count. Shuttle Service: If we had to complain about anything, it would be the poor shuttle service times in peak season. From the hotel 10h 12:30,16h,19h and return 10mins after. If you want to have dinner at a restaurant in Santa Teresa and if you do not have a car, you would either need to come back just after 19h, pre-book a taxi to come back as getting a hold of one in town we found impossible, or walk back. We had a car for most of the stay but needed to return it before taking the ferry to Corsica and we were inconvenienced by not having a car and the long times between the shuttle service. We walked once from Santa Teresa to the hotel which took us a good thirty minutes in the heat. I got a nice t-shirt tan mark from that improvised hike. Overall: This was a great six night stay in Northern Sardinia, beautiful location, good rooms, friendly and accommodating staff, lovely beach, couldn't really ask for much more in staying in beautiful Sardinia.

“Heatwave in Sardinia”

Location is not walking distance to any attraction. Only one good restaurant was walkable. Rooms are very tiny, the air conditioner in our room 503 was barely working during the hottest summer in Italy. Pool lounges are very uncomfortable, no cushions and no bar service.

Common areas are not airconditioned. Pool menu is awful!
