Hotel Santa Gilla

Stuff was friendly, Michelangelo especially. The dinner buffet was surprisingly good. They have a nice pool with sunbeds under the sun and big sofas under shadow, which was great in the mornings. Very good water flow in the rooms. We also liked Luchia - a lovely fluffy cat that would show up in the mornings to demand some attention, and eventually, you can see her in the evening, but only if she's in a mood. The flamingos were in the lagoon in front of the hotel when we visited

They don't have an iron. You have to pay for (expensive) laundry service if you need your dress ironed. I've got to know this 2 hours before dinner, and normally, they require 48 hours in advance. They did my dress on time, but we were shocked that a 4-star hotel wouldn't provide an iron. You can hear the neighbors. Very clear and very load. From the balcony, from the room and especially from the toilet. We happened to have quite unconsiderate neighbors, and this resulted in us not being able to sleep for 3 nights.

Quiet small (80 rooms) hotel set in expansive grounds, mostly lawn and trees. One big swimming pool kept in top condition. Ample sun beds. Local supermarket very good. We were out of season, so some local bars were either closed or preparing to open. House keeping very good with the rooms kept very clean (particular thanks to Caterina) Our room, 38, had a pool view and South aspect, that was very good. Ample food at breakfast. Local bus service good with full details provided by the reception staff. Location, yes it is remote but you know that when you book it we were very happy with it. Our room is top left in photo Very comfortable 🛌 bed This review takes into account the price we paid that on reflection was very good value. Not forgetting the resident 🐈 cat that is totally deaf We hired a car for a few days and also used the train just to see more of Sardinia ⁹

Very little really, we would mark down the dinner arrangement ie fixed price buffet at :€29 . When you don't have a large appetite it's a bit annoying to pay that for one plate of food. We only used it three times in 14 nights. Bed had only one bedside locker/light, both sides please..

It’s a really beautiful property, (palm trees, swimming pool, grass and green everywhere), close proximity to Cagliari and an ideal location for South of Sardinia. (Taking into consideration that Sardinia needs a car, it’s excellent). You can litellary observe flamingoes from the hotel which is amazing. The rooms are very spacious and special congratulations to the cleaning service who made the room impeccable everyday. The breakfast was impressive, with great variety, carefully prepared by chefs (It had great tarts, among others.) This choice of the hotel made our experience in Sardinia more special!

The pool and the green garden around it is so refreshing, like a small green oasis. Very pleasant place to stay if you don't feel like going to the beach. The terrace used for breakfast has a view on wetland with flamingos. Sometimes you can see them really close. Location of the hotel is good, close to Cagliari (15-20 min drive) , so practical to go out in the evening. Having a car is a plus to be able to explore beaches in the area. Within walking distance there is a shopping centre (200m), bar and restaurant (300m).

Some days there was a bad smell outside (maybe they were using fertiliser, maybe from the wetlands, not sure). I was there in August, there were 33 degrees, so I don't know if this is related to heat or not. I missed kettle in the room to be able to make herbal tea in the evening.

The hotel itself is an older style hotel, with renovated and very clean common areas and rooms. The garden with the swimming pool is very beautiful, full of swallows. We didn't try the dinner menu but the breakfast was varied and everything was very good. The staff is polite, helpful, friendly and they speak many languages too. There is a supermarket just next for anything you need on your way to the beach. Rooms have balconies/terraces. There was also a small fridge.

The hotel is in the industrial area but close to a pleasant beach. With a car (or with a bus) many exceptional beaches are reachable from here so it wasn't really an issue.

Very helpful staff, nice swimming pool and garden. Central location for visiting Cagliari and the nice beaches in the South. Furthermore, we liked the Flamingo's in the back garden.

For a longer stay, there is not a lot to do at walking distance, limited number of restaurants, small shopping mall. The beach is on walking distance, but there are much nicer beaches in Sardinia.

Loved the easiness of the Hotel the staff were simply the best We had a car and could easily travel and got some great tips...pool was fab ...food was good and plentiful esp at breakfast . ... Saw flamingos everywhere and proximity to Cagliari ...

The location ...once inside the hotel you could forget the location but surrounded by a industrial estate wasn't what we expected ...

Beautiful pool and gardens. Rooms were kept very clean & tidy

We reported fridge not working, but nothing seemed to happen. Evening meal option was only buffet. We were not expecting this, as had seen the wonderful social media posts on a couple of occasions before our arrival, sharing menu items. Due to the hotels location, there were not many other options for dining out.

Most everything was reasonably good.

I suppose everything went fairly well, the opportunities for taking advantage of the local amenities was quite limited. There is a wonderful wildlife park on the doorstep of the hotel but unfortunately it was not accessible to go around. No walkways available.

The room was a great size and the facilities were fantastic. The staff were very helpful, especially Michelangelo and Martina for helping us with the bus directions and recommendations in Cagliari! Grazie mille :)
