Colonna Resort, a Colonna Luxury Beach Hotel, Porto Cervo

The attention to detail is incredible. Had the best time-so much so I went to Porto Cervo bought a ring and proposed on the last night.

This is a beautiful well run hotel in a stunning location. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. A couple of areas for improvement: 1. Charging 4 Euros for a small bottle of water in the room is unexpected. Usually water is complementary. 2. The price of drinks from the bar is rather on the high side. One evening we were charged 70 Euros for 2 small Limoncellos. 3. When the weather is wet or windy the hotel can only accommodate its half board guests. There should be a contingency plan available such as opening the breakfast dining area.

Fantastic escape For bday with family All about everything that was expected Really fancy and stylish, But you need to be ready with clothing Food For breakfast more than enough For Every taste Service all stars included But į think not For everybody Definatly į rekomend renting A car Pools and beach Cant be better to have peace and quit View breath taking

Beautifully secluded hotel with stunning views and amazing pools. Poolside service was extremely attentive and the buffet lunch was well received after an early start. Breakfasts also had plenty of selection, both hot and cold, again complimented by the views. Made use of a decent hotel leisure facility that also had hair & beauty if required. Altogether, a great place to relax and watch the world go, or sail, by.

Our mission for our 11-night stay at the Colonna Resort near Porto Cervo was quite simply to relax. In summary, mission accomplished. Three main reasons why our objective was achieved are as follows: 1) Location The transfer to the hotel was relatively short from Olbia. We were close enough to be able to explore many areas around Sardinia should we have chosen to. Quite simply however we kept our stay straightforward, we used the shuttle from the hotel sometimes during the day, and visited Porto Cervo centre either to walk, have a drink, take in the scenery, or have a bite to eat. The shuttle service in that respect worked perfectly well for us and our thanks to the driver who was very friendly and to Franco on Concierge for help in coordination. The fact that the hotel is situated in large landscaped grounds with multiple saltwater pools and a mix of lounging areas to relax in or out of the Sun meant that aligned to our objective to relax, we were able to achieve this comfortably. In addition our room balcony with sea view enabled us to return to our private environment to take in the scenery or take some time out of the Sun should we choose to in a climatised area. At the pool and private beach the Salvataggio team including Gabriele, Giacomo and Alessio and the poolside bar team including Tomas and Gonzalo are a great asset. We found them friendly and accommodating, again making us feel at ease in their company. And watching the tortoises navigating the grounds! 2) Team Colonna From the moment we arrived to the point that we left the Colonna Resort, we found each member of staff an absolute pleasure to engage with. For example, Marco and the food and beverage team in the terrace and Pagoda restaurant were excellent, in particular Lucia, Candela, Francisco, Nicholas, Gianluca, Luciana, Alvise, Erik. They also provided a fun musical background to relax to at lunchtime. 3) The cuisine We took a decision to stay on a half board basis at the hotel, meaning that we were dining each night in the restaurant as well as Breakfast. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed that immensely. We were absolutely delighted with the team that we mainly engaged with during our time in the restaurant in the morning and at dinner. We felt that the restaurant team overall went above and beyond to make us feel relaxed. Particular thanks go to Guilio, Lorenzo, Willy, Roberto and Luca. Guilio made us feel very welcome from the outset so a huge thank you to him. Vanessa was beyond excellent as our main restaurant lead. Vanessa’s professionalism and product knowledge and confidence in dish recommendations was outstanding. We hope she is recognised by the Hotel Management as the asset that she is. There is of course much behind the scenes in the kitchen we did not see first hand - what the cooking team do enables the service team to deliver, so our thanks to them. In summary we had a great first experience of Sardinia, primarily due to the staff at Colonna Resort.
