Hotel Balocco

Best hotel ever!!

We absolutely loved staying here!! When we arrived Roberto kindly informed us our room was upgraded and we felt like we had the best room in the hotel. The view was amazing from every window in our room. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was great and breakfasts were delicious. Oh and the pool is perfect. I was sad to leave his hotel. It made our holiday!! Thanks for having us!! Will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend to everyone!

Initially we stayed at Balocco for three nights, and then moved to another hotel in Baia Sardinia where we were supposed to stay for the rest of the week. It was way more expensive, but unfortunately it was also really below par, and we quickly realized we did not want to spend the rest of our vacation there. We contacted Balocco again and luckily they had a room available, so after two days we went back although we had paid for two more nights at the other hotel. Balocco is beautifully situated on the hillside overlooking Porto Cervo, with a great pool and poolbar/restaurant which also serves an excellent breakfast (and, as expected, the best coffee…). The hotel has such a nice vibe to it, the atmosphere is so relaxed and Balocco never feels crowded even though it was almost fully booked; but they only have 40 rooms which gives it a more intimate and personal feel. The rooms btw, are really clean and well equipped, with a balcony or patio facing the pool area. We instantly felt at home, mainly because the staff is simply amazing, from housekeeping to the reception, bar and restaurant. We didn´t catch all the names but want to mention Evelyn, Belen, Betty and Luciano at the restaurant and Bruno at the lounge bar. And of course Tina, Augustino and the rest of the crew at the front desk who will help you with everything from airport transfer to table reservations at nearby restaurants – and there are a number of reasonably priced high quality restaurants within walking distance. We certainly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return. Niclas & Anneli

We stayed here at the end of Sept, into October for 1 week and loved the hotel. It has great views down to the harbour and has a relaxing feel, whilst you see other guests at breakfast its generally really quite around the pool and the hotel offers amble parking if you have a car. There are numerous restaurants and a supermarket in walking distance and reception are happy to make recommendations/ reservations. The breakfast had a good variety from cold meats and cheeses to scrambled egg and bacon or pastries and cakes. They do offer lunch but this was more "formal eating" and snacks such as toasted sandwiches werent available until after 3pm, it would have been ideal to have more snack options throughout the day. The drinks were fairly expensive (approx 8euro for a small beer and 10 for prosecco) but then again hotels usually are and there are alternatives near by. Other things to note : the hotel offers a shuttle to the beach, pool towels, a hairdryer and the mini bar can be used as your fridge.
