Hotel La Conchiglia

Hotel La Conchiglia – Cala Gonone, Sardinia REVIEW TITLE: The best hotel - the best room - in Cala Gonone OVERALL RATING: Great. Absolute seafront corner 2nd floor room with jacuzzi on room balcony in Cala Gonone. I saw no other property of this level of remodel and locale and view - the jacuzzi was a special bonus. REVIEWER BACKGROUND: Fortunate to travel extensively. I have done travel advising for years. We are always looking for that “magic stay” and we found it certainly at Hotel La Conchiglia. DATES OF STAY: 2 nights in September 2026 ROOM/S: We were in one of only 2 Deluxe Seaview Rooms with Terrace with Jacuzzi. These 2 rooms are the entire front of the hotel on the second floor - looking at the sea to the left front corner is room 122 and to the right front corner is room 124 (ours). The hotel is fully renovated in what I would call white and blue “beach chic”. LOCATION: Immediately seafront in Cala Gonone, to the right side of the many center town piers. Most hotels do not have parking in Cala Gonone - Hotel La Conchiglia likewise does not have parking. Carefully sought street parking is the option. VIEW: Stunning scenery directly of the ocean on the other side of a lightly traveled road. View to the right is of the coastline and to the left is of the small Cala Gonone harbor. BREAKFAST: Included in our room rate. Good small hot and cold buffet selections. One unusual item was pizza for breakfast. The bonus is that you can eat that breakfast immediately across the street at the hotel’s waterfront palapas umbrella topped restaurant tables. Truly stunning day or night. FOOD/DRINK: There is a mini fridge in each room. The hotel does have an onsite restaurant with an extensive menu. It is very popular particularly due to the aforementioned palapas umbrella topped seafront tables. STAFF: Universally wonderful staff. NOISE: None of note. The property is remodeled and very quiet even though a street passes between the hotel and the ocean. UNUSUAL TOUCHES: Only hotel we stayed at during our 2 weeks in Sardinia with Smart TV selections.

We went to eat at this restaurant; the dishes are good and the staff is kind. Maybe I would remove the combo dishes from the menu.

Other than the food and the service, this is a lovely waterfront location. Service is terrible. Our food came before our drinks (and not bc the food was fast!)…the waiter never checked on our table once - I had to flag down another waiter to get more wine. They left the plates piled up on our table for way too long after we were done eating, attracting many bees. I complained to the manager and she didn’t even apologize for the terrible wait staff or our experience. Highly recommend going somewhere way better next door, Snoopy’s or Cala Luna.
