blau monte turri

An old tower, converted into a 4 star hotel, with reasonable prices, offering a stunning view from the breakfast terrace. Thisalone justifies 5 TripAdvisor stars - whereas ecerything else, cleanliness the staff's helpfulness, size of rooms, quietness of the huge surrounding park, wild goats and donkeys roaming through the compound, name it, also earns 5 stars. Highly recommended ...

I traveled with my best friend, it was our first time on Sardinia. We booked "adults only" and were well treated from the first hello to goodbyes. Extremely well. Front desk staff were all familiarly friendly, and helpful, nice to talk to, smiling charming Italians. Now this was expensive stay in one of the best rooms with a seaview from the top. It all came with a twist off friendliness and heartwarming helpfullness. Same with the included breakfast: breathtaking view, polite and nice staff, a young italian chef preparing omelettes off fresh countryside eggs, Rumanian waiters were friendly and professional. Everything impeccably set, both the serving and tables. Fantadtic bread and cornetti, cold cuts, fruits, cheeses and all! What a bliss for a breakfast. Downunder in Monte Turri Resort was a dinner buffet we paid for on daily basis. The food was excellent with great variation- to start with. Last days the quality dropped somewhat, but this is understandable when it comes to last days of season, it might be as well my subjective feeling - there was a boisterous, ill- mannered group of tourists. There were other options too, adults only serve sumptuous five course dinners- I didnt do the dinner simply because I am a chef and work with this myself, it was more fun snd entertaini g to take the buffet which had everything your heart desires. The beach underneath is sunwarm cliffs around a quiet bay, surrounded by beautiful cliffs. Also here and by the pools the staff excelled, with kindness and service-mindedness. There are very nice guards by pools and the bay. In all this was a great treat, uplifted by the fantastic staff. Above all this: wild donkeys and mufflons linger in the area. Please take the panoramic walk on Arbatax Nature Park. Enjoy the peace and quiet surronding this ambient, clean and cosy hotel. Pay the little extra for " adults only", enjoy the quiet mornings, sunrises, sunset dinner, spot whales, sleep well in the airconditioned comfort, enjoy your freshly baked pastries, smile! Take a plunge in the pool or the sea, buy locally produced items like textiles and ceramics for a dime in the shop, prices are 30% lower than in Elmas Airport. Dolce far niente- sweetness of do- nothing. Gentilemente grazie, I had an relaxing stay in your care!

I have been trying to contact the hotel several times (8 emails and several Instagram messages) about a complaint/refund but they are ignoring me so please see the email below. Maybe they will now pay attention and actually reply: Dear Madam/Sir, We booked a stay at the Monte Turri Hotel on Saturday 9th Sept including the spa for 2 people. Firstly, we were not aware that the spa is a considerable distance from the hotel itself. This was not clear anywhere on your website. Secondly, we booked the spa session with Stefano at reception for 11am on Sunday 10th Sept. The next morning we arrived at the spa (which was not easy to find! we spent 45 mins trying to get there) only to be told that we didn't have a reservation and that the water heater was broken so only a couple of the pools were working. At this point we were hot, stressed and just wanted to leave. The overall experience was meant to be relaxing on the last day of our holiday but it was extremely stressful. We then had to get back to the hotel in extreme heat. Both the man at the spa and Stefano said that they did not have the authority to issue a refund for the spa. So I am asking you to please issue me with a refund, as the spa was not fully functioning and was a complete waste of our time. I would also like to say a couple of things about the hotel. Stefano was very friendly at the reception and we were very happy with our room. The way it was decorated was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. The view from the restaurant was spectacular but there were some issues. It was so dark that you could not see the food on your plate. And speaking of the food, I would say it was the worst meal we'd had during our stay in Sardegna... and the most expensive!. Very basic, too much salt, and the most tasteless dessert I have ever had. The 2 young people serving were very nice and knowledgeable. But the older man was aggressive, rude and tried to give me fish when I told the staff I was allergic to fish! He then stood in front of us at the table and had an argument with the waitress about it. She was very embarrassed and we felt very uncomfortable. The sommelier stepped in to help and to take the fish away from me before I ate it. The older waiter was also very rude and aggressive in the morning during the breakfast serving, so much so that we wanted to leave as quickly as possible. I think he needs to have some training in how to deal with the public. You have a very nice hotel there but I'm afraid it feels badly organised and poor quality when it comes to the service and the food in the restaurant. If you could please give us our refund for the spa asap I would be grateful. Regards Natalie

This hotel is part of a group of hotels. It is has the most stunning views and the restaurant was first class. The staff are friendly and were willing to help find places for us to visit ringing the different places for us (since we did not speak Italian). The room was comfortable with a veranda and more like a suite compared to other hotels. It was a bit basic (for example to no USB ports, basic TV services...). There is a stony beach at the bottom of the resort. The food there was also amazing thought the barman / chef was a bit temperamental (still added to the entertainment). You'll also get a lot of exercise making your way back to the hotel as there is no buggy service. You also have access to the other hotels' services though they tend to be busier and more for families. Also the food is less pleasant. Overall great place for a long weekend / short break.
