About the location
Palau is a Sardinian gem: a picturesque harbour town set alongside several splendid north coast beaches. First established by shepherds little more than 100 years ago, the town is now a chic beach resort packed with popular restaurants and surrounded by natural splendour. The heart of the town is partially surrounded by water and features terracotta-coloured lanes overlooked by pretty wrought-iron balconies, with tantalising glimpses of the sea around each corner. Wander past local boutiques and craft workshops, take part in a variety of watersports, and enjoy al fresco dining.
One of the must-do attractions in Palau is the Trenino Verde (Little Green Train) which takes riders high into the otherwise inaccessible hills. This quaint vintage locomotive is straight out of the 1930s, with wooden bench seating and a narrow gauge that makes each journey a true adventure, passing through some of the region’s most spectacular scenery. Other local sights include the dramatic Fortezza di Monte Altura, a 19th-century fortress set high above the town, and the peculiar Roccia dell’Orso rock formations which decorate the natural landscape with intriguing animal-shaped boulders, just a few miles from Palau’s centre.

After the second time at this luxurious resort I want to go back as much as I did the first time. The staff is over the top service minded and greats you in the most professional and familiar way. We were there with a group of training people and the management team were so flexible and open to find the best solutions for us to get the most out of our program on site. A special thank you to Mario de Martino (General Manager), Gianni Atzeni (Room Division Manager), Alessandro Napoli (Golf Manager) and Claudio (In charge of all the restaurants).
The resort is also beautiful located by the water, with many unique and exclusive spots to swim, snorkel and lye down on a subbed. If you like to go to the spa you're in the right place with the resort's 5 star ranked spa facilities. For more activities you can play golf, tennis and rent a boat directly from the hotel doc. This resort has everything you need and more. I just want to go back!

Gorgeous hotel in such a pretty setting. Hidden nooks and crannies for sunbathing, the most perfect terrace for supper and breakfast - couldn???t have been more perfect for a long awaited holiday. Some of the rooms are a little tired and the food could be raised a notch or two but neither detracted from a really lovely break. Will definitely be on the list for another visit.

You will be hard pressed to find better accommodations on the island of Sardinia! At once an eagle nest and a glamorous corner minutes away from everything that the Costa smeralda has to offer! Suites with a view of the sea are the best room choice and come with many amenities. The staff and services are simply superb, all carefully monitored by the omnipresent Direttore, a cross between magician and guardian angel. During my stay I fell ill with bronchitis and within minutes I was put in touch with a doctor and had a prescription brought to my room. One night our rental car was left with lights on and the next morning within minutes they jump started it and we were on our way to the beach. Noteworthy is the absence of dogs that elsewhere in Italy are allowed in the strangest venues ..thus potentially ruining any vacation meal or even theater show! The thalasso SPA is incredible and offers world class facials and expert treatments (such as Oxygen TM).

On the northeast sardinian coast is nestled capo d???orso hotel, a fab 5 star next to the ocean. Rooms are hidden in wild bush and the sea Is turquoise. Food is excellent in any restaurant but you should try ile flottant, a pieds dans l???eau restaurant to eat admiring the nature. Service is unbeatable!

The natural location is breathtaking and the resort takes it one step further with exquisite landscaping. The rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant meals are plentiful and delicious. We enjoyed three days of thalassotherapy spa treatments that left us thoroughly relaxed and we visited the beach every day. Golf and boating are also available but we did not have the time. The multilingual staff is very friendly and makes an effort to get to know you and your preferences. The general manager is especially charming; he is everywhere with a smile and witty comment. We hope to make a return visit in the not too distant future!
