Hotel Santa Maria

Surrounded by greenery but with a horizon of the sea. Excellent structure and reasonable prices. I recommend it to couples, families and business... Well maintained and attentive service. Not to be missed if you pass through this part of Sardinia near Alghero and near Sassari….

This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The host was bad-tempered, rude and unaccommodating. The tiny portions of food could not be classified as dinner. No starters, pasta with a variety of stir in sauces or a very fatty lamb chop. The best bit was the ice cream! We were told off for trying to come into the downstairs of the hotel before 8am and were locked out by a gate. The packed lunch wasn't much better - 2 small rolls, crackers with jam and a packet of out of date biscuits. The pool was great - although it needed a clean. Not enough water coming out of the shower to wash my hair. The broken shower doors weren't really required. Would stay well clear of this catastrophe.

This quiet remote rural hotel has a very friendly and accommodating manager and the meals are reasonably priced and pretty good however, you should note you may not be staying in the main hotel complex. There are separate rooms 100m down the hill and these rooms are not represented on expedia. Our room was very clean albeit the mattress was extremely hard, there is no wi-fi available and the nearest beach is very busy all day every day at high season. Also at the height of the season towns, north and south of Santa Maria, are also extremely busy and parking, although cheap or free, is very frustrating. Sardinia, although very pretty and charming, there is no infrastructure for catering for so many tourists at the height of the Season. For instance going to the beach or visiting a town means looking for a parking place for up to an hour. The hotel was very peaceful which was needed after day of driving about.
