Lovely hotel with great staff, huge thanks to Matteo and Sylvia, who with their excellent English and our terrible Italian, helped us enormously, and Ivan and Giuseppe who were always very friendly while serving us at breakfast and in the evening. Mustn't forget beautiful Ava, the hotel 'guard dog', what an absolute sweetheart! Just loves a cuddle. Beautiful area, great little bay for swimming with views of Tavalaro, so peaceful and relaxing. Every morning we could see the sun coming up over the horizon, never seen it so orange. Great walk around the coast to Porto Istana, which is stunningly beautiful, white sands, crystal clear water and little fishes.
We used the public transport, which we had read was terrible, but found the main line to be very good, mostly only waiting 10-15 minutes for a bus. We travelled to La Cinta, lu Nostru, San Taverna and Olbia on good, air conditioned buses. We are now very depressed at being home and are looking at next years holiday to cheer us up!
