Balocco

The grounds and the style of the hotel are basically nice, but the entire hotel has clearly aged significantly and looks worn out and partly dingy in many places. For me, this in no way corresponds to a 4-star hotel, but rather to an average 3-star level. However, the biggest problem is the extremely poor soundproofing. There is no question of a restful night here. During a one-week stay, we were able to sleep halfway normally for exactly one single night. On all other nights, it was barely 3–4 hours of sleep. You can hear every single step from the rooms above. The safes are built directly into the walls – every opening or closing of the neighbor's safe sounds like someone is hitting the wall right next to the bed. In the bathroom, you can sometimes understand every single word from the neighboring room through the ventilation. I have never experienced anything like this in a hotel of this category. The service was also disappointing. Housekeeping forgot things multiple times, for example, toilet paper. The minibar was partially emptied and only restocked after we asked. That should be a matter of course in a 4-star hotel. The breakfast is very limited and offers neither special quality nor a large selection. Anyone looking for relaxation here should be aware that the inadequate soundproofing can massively affect the stay. For the price charged and the 4-star claim, this is simply unacceptable in my view. I would not book this hotel again and unfortunately cannot recommend it.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful. Was so attentive and caring whilst also relaxing. The staff were fabulous, along with the food and vibe. Was so happy with this hotel, everything about it and wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else. Also perfect location for views which were phenomenal and also 5 min drive into Porto cervo. Also Matias at the bar we want to give a huge shoutout to as he was the best bar man ever. He really made our time there- massive thanks Matias

We stayed at Hotel Balocco for 10 nights which was probably a little too long without hiring a car. We did have a fabulous time though. The hotel pool was so good. Plenty of sun beds and a refreshing pool. Mateus on the pool bar was so smiley and jolly and the barman in the main bar helpful. There was a free shuttle to the beach which we used 3 times. The breakfast was good and the staff very friendly. Reception staff were all so helpful and friendly and booked lots of local and good restaurants for us and taxis. They always had time for us. A credit to the hotel. Spinnaker and Retrò restaurants nearby were lovely. We had a superior room with pool and sea view. The bed was very comfortable and the towels soft. The room cleaned perfectly everyday. Porto Cervo was pretty. We went once in a taxi which was expensive and a couple of times walking turning right from Clipper restaurant through the marina. Would recommend this hotel and would love to return one day.
