La Casa di Babbai

Fantastic little boutique hotel in a meticulously-restored stone house. Great breakfast and easy parking in a quiet town. Short drive up the hill to Tempio Pausania or there is a cute bar and small restaurant a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Room was charming and AC worked well (a necessity in July 2025). Highly recommend for a quiet stay.

This lovely hotel is in the narrow streets at the centre of the quiet, ancient village of Nuchis. The owner was extremely friendly, and recommended us a great route to walk in the woods, and a restaurant with wonderful food for dinner. We had a comfortable, well furnished room for the night, and a great breakfast in the morning. If you are staying in this area, this is a really good hotel in a charming village that really feels part of the local countryside, but is only just outside Tempio Pausania.

The hosts, Pina and Vanni, were engaging, helpful and very pleasant. Nuchis is an outstanding town to just relax, take walks, be amongst the locals and have a nice meal (especially at Ristorante Il Melograno). There are numerous little chapels to visit and there are several historic sites within a short driving distance. It is a nice place to decompress, enjoy the outstanding views and sample an interesting part of Sardegna. As noted in another review, the breakfast is tilted toward carbs/sweets (which I enjoy!) but others might prefer more fruits, etc. I believe that Pina and Anna do a lot of the baking and they do it quite well! Plus, the cappuccinos and caffes are quite nice! I thought the rooms, bed and air conditioning were just fine! The hosts also have some information that highlights local attractions and historical sites. They have typed this up in several different languages, which is useful since most of the other lodgers were from across Europe. Nearby, there's Tempio Pausania which has a variety of different restaurants and shops and a lovely tree-lined park. If you do visit the Nuraghe Majori site, please do check out the restaurant located there...especially if you enjoy grilled meats! I very much enjoyed my visit to Nuchis and La Casa Di Babbai!
