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.

Much more secluded resort rather than hotel and hence exclusive feeling. Best part is views and atmosphere where you always find a private corner with sun beds. Good access to beach and water is crystal clear, best I???ve seen in Europe.
Make sure you also check out golf course and personal trainer Jacumo who is great teacher and super friendly in teaching beginners. We got a lesson via our honeymoon package and very happy!

I sent 2 weeks with my sons @ Capo d'Orso in July 2020. We discovered more than a hotel where all hotel members take care of your needs. The hotel environment is just amazing with its private beaches (top for the scuba diving) . I had personal contacts with its director , Mario, to find alternatives activities for my son (11y) during this Covid period. All safety mesures are taken to protect you and to keep your holidays 100% relax. I would like to thank Daniela for her support and Claudio who gave a special attention to my son to explain him the menus and me for the wine ! I know why families are coming back year to year to the Capo d'orso.

We spent 5 days in Hotel capo d'Orso.
The hotel is on a hill overlooking the beautiful sea. Whilst it is not the most modern rooms, they have everything that you need, are spacious and very comfortable and above all very charming
the hotel setting and surroundings makes the magical touch.
Every single member of the personnel is adorable, treat you like a king and despite the Covid-19 measures keep a high morale.
The director of the Hotel, Mario, is always around to make sure all your needs are fulfilled and who creates this special atmosphere.
a special mention to the Golf teacher, Giacomo who manage to do much more than a golf lesson for the kids (As the golf had suffered from low maintenance during covid-19) . a really nice entertainer who volunteered to do a lot more than he had to.
Big thanks to all of you. we hope to be back one day !

We were lucky enough to spend our honeymoon in the Wonderful Capo D???Orso in 2006 and we loved it so much that we had to return for our 10th wedding anniversary in 2016! We couldn???t believe it, it was just the same and just as wonderful as on our honeymoon! And we were greeted by the wonderful general manager Mario, who was so kind and welcoming, along with Marco, who we had met back in 2006! We were so pleased to find so many of the staff we had met on our honeymoon were still there! Claudio and Rosa in the restaurant and many other dear friends- along with new friends such as the two lifeguards who were so kind, friendly and helpful during our stay.
We stayed in a lovely room with a sea view and had such a magical time, breakfasting with the harp and relaxing and swimming in the sea, having wonderful romantic dinners. We hope to return in summer 2021 for our 15th wedding anniversary, and hope that the lovely general manager Mario (who came specially to sat goodbye to us on our last day) and all his wonderful team will be there again to greet us! Much love to you all from Lucy and James Wyatt (Braga) ps I am the opera singer who sang with the harpist on our honeymoon all those years ago!
