A friend was hosting their wedding at this hotel. The wedding was really lovely, and I think the food and arrangements were very nice -- so if you are considering this place for a wedding venue, it may be worthwhile, but DO NOT have your guests stay here! The problems started at check in. We arrived with our group of friends at 4:30PM. Check-in is advertised as 2PM. When we arrived, they claimed they did not have rooms for the entire group. They start to push this "stay at an offsite property and we'll throw in dinner and a tour". No one wanted to do that because we were all staying at the hotel to be with our friends. Also many of us did not have cars, and Sardinia is NOT easy to get around without your own car ("black taxis" only $$$$). Keep in mind that this was a block of rooms for the wedding booked many months ago. Someone in the group got our groom involved who is a native Sardinian and could argue in Italian and they magically "find" all of the rooms we had booked. Oh, but they weren't clean yet so we had to wait at the bar (outside, in 95 degree weather). And no, drinks were not complementary while we were waiting. I am pregnant and didn't want to sit inside in the AC due to Covid, so I asked if they could give me a cold bottle of water (for free) while we wait -- they told me I could "buy one at the bar". It was 6PM before we could go to our room. Except that somehow, my husband and I, who had booked a "Standard Room" were told our room required a "car ride" to get to. We said we didn't want to stay "off the property" and wanted to stay with our friends in the room we booked. They confirmed it was on the property and they would send a driver at any time to pick us up. We were tired from the heat and relented. We should have said "No" and insisted on something at the main resort, like we booked. I've read other reviews since and they have done this to other people. Do NOT take "upgrades" to Villas or "the Beach House" or anything that is not actually walkable from the front desk UNLESS you have your own car (we didn't). We arrive at Villa 41, which we are told is "on the property", but it's not, it's in Piccolo Scoglio, which is a condo housing complex a 6 minute drive away. There were three good things about the complex: 1. It was pin quiet in early September, 2. It had a limited view of the ocean, 3. It was closer to Porto San Paulo (10 min walk). The villa is dingy and not well-appointed -- very bare bones. 2 BR, including one with 3 bunk beds, and 2 bath. It did have a kitchen, but fridge wasn't plugged in. We were paying $250 / night to stay in a "resort". We found an AirBNB in the same complex with the SAME floorplan that goes for $70 / night (and looked much better appointed). Having to call for a car to the hotel is a pain in the butt -- so we ended up not enjoying the pool or hanging out with our friends. There was no bottled water in the room -- for free or purchase. Later on in the stay we came back sandy from the beach, re
