Hotel Cala Caterina

It would seem every room would have a view of the pool and sea as the hotel over looks that direction. Our room was standard and we did. The breakfast was incredible, so much choice, for example 6 different milk choices! Excessive but shows the thought that has gone into our satisfaction. The beach wasn't overly packed so you felt luxury seclusion. The waters were clear and the rock formations were stunning. Every single staff member was welcoming and friendly.

The interior of the rooms could be redesigned to feel more cosy and comforting. There is lots of rustic wood with no cushioning, for example the balcony seating. Simple cushions would do.

The generous size of the bedrooms, with simple but comfortable furnishings. The layout of 1st floor rooms overseeing the gardens and pool with the sea in the background. The pool and garden installation with sunbeds, towels and hammocks, with lifeguards and staff making sure everything is perfect at all times. The intimate and secluded aspect of the property, you never feel like the hotel runs at full capacity even during one of the busiest times of the year (ferragosto weeks) The proximity to the lovely semi private creek beach with its sun beds. The attentive and kind service and the politeness of the staff, who made sure every day we felt catered to all our needs.

The main dinner restaurant offering a limited menu of only good but high end cuisine. Definitely lacking options for lighter / simpler dishes (e.g. no salads, or option of garnishes, few vegetarian options, only gastronomic creations with a long list of ingredients or “revisited” recipes). Also very pricey. Definitely not a menu adapted for a family with children under a certain age or for a longer stays than a couple of days. Nonetheless the staff was lovely in arranging for some exceptions for myself (vegetarian and pregnant) and kids options. The pool restaurant menu was a bit more varied and adapted to a beach resort but only available at lunch time.

Staff was very helpful, charming and available - without being too present. Definitely the strongest point. Nature and cleanliness of the place (including tye fantastic garden) is top top. Service at the pool is always a plus and it is located in a little paradise - close to everythibg but secluded enough to keep quiet. I would recommend it without thinking twice - probably on a semi-pension though.

Restaurant is too expensive for the quality of the food served in my opinion. Most likely it is better when taking the semi-pension scheme. Breakfast also we found some morning that the viennnoiseries were dried (probably from the day before) and pitchers of the juices not cleaned. The bed and mostly the pillows are really not up to standards compare to the rest the hotel offers. But that’s minor compare to the Pros this hotel offers.

Amazing staff, amazing hotel and facilities. Food was great and varied, combined with a perfect location couldnt ask for more. Particular thanks to Maurizio and Mario for making us feel so welcome!

Beautifully kept grounds next to a marine protected area with lots of wild life. Lots of little corners in the garden with choice of shade or sun, clean pool of good size, small beach right by the hotel or a larger beach 20 minutes walk away. Very friendly staff. Good food.

Very little not to like. Some of the beach furniture is a bit aged, and some of the bath installations were a bit wonky but nothing that really distracted from a very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful property - very quiet, relaxing. It is a small boutique hotel, very luxurious and comfortable. The level of service is amazing! Large and comfortable rooms, great terrace. Not far from Villasimius and very close to the Marina.

The evening restaurant is not good. Prices are very high and the quality of the food is very average. Small bathroom. Beach is not completely private.

Location, view, staff…..all First Class

The pool is too small and many times there was no room for all guest. However if I was the owner of Cala Caterina I would build the pool by the sea, near the beach, with a spectacular sea view, this way the hotel will become a 5 stars S.

Location of the Hotel is fabulous. It is great that sun beds are for free. The Hotel has a spacious garden, with nice trees and plants. There are two restaurants, one is for breakfast and dinner and the other for the rest of the day.

We could smell a musty smell in the room, bathroom needs renovation. Massage was more expensive than stated in catalog.

Staff, rooms/bed, patio, beach access, pool. Mario, in the bar, was the best server we’ve ever met.

Water pressure and temperature was variable
