Independent, Costa Smeralda hotels

"We had the most wonderful stay at Cala Cuncheddi Hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The setting is absolutely breathtaking — especially the sunsets, which were some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. The restaurant was a highlight of our trip: not only was the food exceptional every single time, but dining with those stunning views made each meal unforgettable. A very special thank you to Roberto, our server throughout the week. His warm hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine kindness made us feel so welcomed. He truly elevated our experience and made our dinners even more enjoyable. Their private beach is beautiful and so is their pool. We always found spots either at the beach or at the pool. We can’t wait to return to Cala Cuncheddi and relive this perfect combination of great food, beautiful scenery, and exceptional service."

"The hotel was amazing - the staff were very attentive and helpful throughout the stay. The pool and amenities were great and the hotel room was beautiful."

"Beautiful property, great beach, fantastic customer service."

"This hotel was an absolute lifesaver! I arrived last minute, late at night, and the receptionist kindly stayed late just to welcome me and check us in. The location is fantastic—less than a 5-minute walk to the port of Palau. Many of the rooms offer beautiful water views, which was such a nice surprise. It’s a no-frills hotel, but it’s incredibly clean, has air conditioning throughout, and includes breakfast. What really sets it apart is the warm and welcoming staff—they go above and beyond. For the price, this place is a gem!"

"Beautiful setting with a large pool and close to beach. Access to beach is quick using the shuttle service. Food was fabulous with a huge range of options, from traditional to a wider selection. Fish selection was especially good. Entertainment staff were very friendly and engaging. They quickly made us feel welcome and we enjoyed their company. Very pleased with our spacious double room, especially with two older teenage kids. "

"Loved our stay small and classy"

"Amazing spot, incredible decoration and service. Could improve breakfast missing tables and drinking glasses and have a more accesible restaurant a la carte. Other than that, all very good. "

"I really liked the balcony looking out at Palau! It was also conveniently located to food, pharmacies and tour meeting points to explore the beautiful islands of the Maddalena Archipelago!"

"Awesome place and staff"
