Firstly let me say that just the address alone is misleading . It's NOT even near Porto Cervo Marina... it's at least 20 minutes walk away. We booked because we thought it was IN the Marina!
This hotel is NOT 4 star. It's NOT friendly or helpful to people who are not Italian. The receptionist were rude and disinterested and really shouldn't be doing that job. The rooms were dingy. depressing, and the view consisted of a floodlight car-park behind a wire fence.We tried sitting out on our balcony one night but it was so depressing we couldn't manage it for more than 10 minutes. Sitting on 10 dollar plastic furniture is not my idea of 4 star!
The TV in the room didn't work and looked like something from a 1970's car-boot sale. The air conditioning broke down and was SO loud it was a choice between no sleep because of the noise or no sleep because of the stifling heat in the room.
My bed (I asked for twin beds) was a camp-bed pull out sofa and was so uncomfortable you couldn't even sit on the end of it. You had to PAY for a towel by the pool! And why they call it "Sporting" is the biggest insult of all. The "Gym" was an outside barred cage!.
There was nothing to do there at night. Not even a piano player or any kind of evening entertainment at all. Consequently people just sat around outside the hotel and looked bored. I twas in one word .....an unhappy hotel. The Colonna chain should be ashamed of themselves calling this a 4 star hotel.. it's nothing less than an insult.
