La Villa Del Re is, without a doubt, the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views that surround the property. The setting is absolutely stunning, making every moment feel like a scene from a postcard.

The service here is exceptional—truly the best I’ve ever experienced. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. What really stood out was how the waiters remembered our names and our orders from previous days. It made the entire experience feel incredibly personal and homey, like we were staying with family rather than at a hotel.

The location is also ideal for exploring the surrounding area. It’s perfectly situated for short drives to nearby towns, making it a great base for day trips.

We will definitely be coming back to La Villa Del Re.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at La Villa del Re. We’re in our late 60s and well travelled, though first time to Sardinia for us. We flew in from San Francisco and had no idea what to expect. Well… The staff and service they provided was beyond first class. The morning breakfasts overlooking the pool and the ocean were delight, the beach and water beautiful for our morning swims before breakfast, and we loved the outdoor gym. And I’ll say it again: the staff and service were amazing, from reception to pool and beach staff to waiters and waitresses. We’ll certainly be back.

Each morning, I was greeted by the serene sight of nature that made my stay all the more relaxing.

The hotel is conveniently located near key attractions, making it easy to explore the local culture and sights without a hassle. After a day of adventure, returning to our room with such a magnificent view was the cherry on top. Whether enjoying breakfast on the terrace or unwinding in the evening, the scenery added a magical touch to our experience.

If you’re looking for a mix of excellent service, comfort, and unbeatable views, look no further than La Villa del Re. I can’t wait to return!

A stunning place to visit as long as you have deep pockets & and endless amount of cash to spend.

I cannot fault the amenities, service or location - all five star, but it does leave a bitter taste overpaying for simple items.

Euro
25-40 for a small glass of wine
8 for a non alcoholic Heineken
300+ for a 1.2kg lobster
85 for four prawns!

All in all it was a great stay, we’re leaving happy but the hotel shouldn’t have this approach towards their pricing structure which are completely overpriced.

The highlight was breakfast. A stunning menu, all complimentary and fresh every morning.

The pastry chef deserves a special mention!

The rooms are okay - I would not say they are 5* as they are quite dated. During this trip we stayed at two other 5* hotels in Italy (one in Ravello, one in Sardinia), and this hotel was definitely the weakest.
The grounds, gardens, and the pool are beautiful, the beach is nice (but not special), and service at the restaurants was good. The waiters and the sommelier at the beach restaurant (Bella vista?) were the best part of the hotel. Very accommodating and very nice, the younger somm was very knowledgeable.

When we arrived on day one by car nobody greeted us, and we weren’t sure where reception was. Parked the car, found reception and then they showed us to a room after a lengthy checkin (it was our honeymoon as we got married 2 days prior, and we had communicated this), which was very disappointing. I didn’t take a picture but the rooms only/main window looked into the balcony separator of another room. If you went out on the balcony you could see a little bit of sea though, but the room was very small and dark. Without lights on the room was totally dark. They claimed this was an upgrade from a “garden view” already.

So we paid for an upgrade to a junior suite / suite(?) which was a good size and looked into the forest/trees. They didn’t bring over the complimentary water or wine from the other room, until we asked for it far later in the day. There was a small crack in the bathroom tiles where ants came through.

Breakfast was good, and breakfast buffet + some a la carte was served at the table.

Our upgraded suite/room, that we paid extra for, had ants every day. Housekeeping or service staff walked into the room 3 or 4 times without knocking during our 4 night stay. They never removed the grapes/cookies they brought on day 1, so that brought more ants.

We asked about horseback riding on Wednesday, for Thursday or Friday, they said they would get back to us but then never heard back from the hotel/concierge.

On the last evening I had the local seafood specialty at Bella Vista and it made me so sick I spent the entire next 2 days very very sick. From Friday morning until Saturday night when we landed back in US, I only ate a couple crackers and dry bread.

They didn’t agree to late checkout.

We wrote the hotel about all these issues, and never heard back. This is indicative of the service level at the property.

When we left, we went to the Conrad, another 5* hotel about 1.5 hours away. Service was better, rooms were nicer, price was similar.

For half the price this would be a nice 4* hotel. We don’t think this is a 5* hotel and would not be back. 5* needs a proper concierge, more staff by the door, bathtub, not just shower, etc.
