Hotel Piccolo

"This is a small hotel, with limited facilities, but adults only which suited us perfectly. We travelled with Jet2 and were aware of what was included in the full board plus package, as Jet2 provided a list of beverages. I have noted that other travel companies are advertising it as all inclusive and this is definitely not really all inclusive. The hotel was fairly quiet when we were there in May so we never had a problem getting sun loungers and there is enough space around the pool not to be overcrowded. The grounds are very well kept and beautiful. Yes, there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms but this was made clear when booking and it is a five minute walk to reception for Wi-Fi. The rooms are compact but cleaned daily and to be honest, I didn’t go on holiday to spend time in my room. The tea and coffee situation isn’t great, but hey you’re on holiday, you’ll survive. The shuttle bus to the beach and the sunbeds that are provided there are great as the beach is lovely. Sardinia is a fantastic Island but I would recommend hiring a car for at least a couple of days to get the best out of the island. We did a trip to Corsica with Get your Guide, which was a long day, but definitely worth it. The hotel manager also helped us plan an itinerary for San Teodoro, which is well worth a visit and has a market every Friday during the day and a night market every evening. Lots of bargains to be had. As it was early in the season, the staff were really just finding their feet and if you are friendly, they will really look after you. The restaurant manager is lovely so any problems with food have a word with him. I do agree that, at times, the food was lukewarm, but often you can catch dishes as they are just brought out of the kitchen. The Sardinian night was spectacular. The entertainment in the hotel is very low-key and would perhaps not suit everybody’s taste. We enjoyed the musical. Bingo and Luna’s stretch class is a lovely way to start the day. It’s worth noting that many hotels in Italy don’t do all inclusive so try not to compare it to all inclusive in other countries as you will be disappointed. There are some lovely restaurants just a 15 minute walk from your hotel so it’s worth trying those as part of your stay."

"4 star seems a stretch. Very limited facilities, No WiFi in the rooms. Very limited drinks that are included in the ‘all inclusive’ package. Having to pay extra for sugar free drinks & decaf coffee doesn’t seem so ‘all inclusive’. Incredibly rude reception staff (1 person) that made you feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable."

"First of all, it’s not really an hotel, more of a motel. Rooms are fine, really clean and comfortable except for the shower which had a mind of its own. Staff excellent to not so. Alessandro and Patricia special mentions. All inclusive which I’m sure we didn’t book and that then leads to food and drink. Coffee completely undrinkable as was the so called orange juice. Cold fried eggs (not sure how that works); had to microwave them. Lunch and dinner were always interesting as you were never sure what you were eating, despite the labels. Meat generally overcooked, few vegetables and those tepid and again overcooked and lukewarm at best. Uncooked pasta and no, it wasn’t al dente either. Fruit not ripe, salads recycled from the day before. Our German friends loved it in the main. Very poor. Location ok, no taxis or shuttle buses. Short walk to the port which was very nice. Absolutely nothing to do despite the best efforts of the ‘kids’, which suited us. All in all, definitely average."
