We ended up in the Sardegna Hotel due to illness and a bit of good luck. I’m so glad we did! We were visiting Cagliari on May 2nd as a stop on a 19-night cruise. I felt unwell and, on returning to the ship, was diagnosed as being in need of a pacemaker. I was whisked off to hospital, Gwen, my partner, to the Sardegna Hotel. To be in an unfamiliar, foreign city in such circumstances is a bit disconcerting to say the least but, on learning of our situation, the hotel staff looked after Gwen really well. After an incident where an A** didn’t pay out, one of the hotel staff, Francesco, came in on his day off to accompany Gwen to the bank and translate for her. After three days in hospital I was able to join Gwen for a further five nights and experience for myself the quality of the Sardegna Hotel and the friendliness and helpfulness of its staff. The hotel is smart and clean, the public areas comfortable, the bedrooms spacious, light and airy and the bathrooms immaculate. The breakfast offers a wide choice of hot and cold food and is available from 7am - 10am, catering for early and late risers alike. We ate in the hotel restaurant on all but one evening and enjoyed excellent food, beautifully presented. We left Cagliari eight days after arriving, determined to return to the Sardegna Hotel.
