I just returned from 3 nights at La Pelosetta in Stintino. I have been staying in a hotel in Sassari Sardinia for 3 weeks on business and wanted to get away from the city for a few days. La Pelosetta was perfect. As others have stated the location is stunning and there is a long paved beachwalk that is ideal for morning walks or running. There are also spectacular rugged rocks/cliffs behind the hotel that can easily be scaled to see a completely different vista. I selected La Pelosetta because I am traveling alone and wanted a quiet place where I felt secure, could do laundry, cook my own meals (for a change!) and enjoy an ocean view. This place worked out great but only because it is the off season. The small apartments (photos attached) normally rent by the week but in Sept, they allow nightly rentals and 3 days was all I needed. I don't know that I would enjoy staying here in the summer because I think that it is teeming with people so if you require solitude, come in September, but be warned that almost all the shops/restaurants are closed. The water is still warm, the beach is lovely and it is possible to relax. Now for the details, I had a studio apartment with a fold out sofa bed that was better than most sofa beds but still lacked some comfort. The room was spotless and furnished with towels and a starter supply of soap and shampoo. The room had a 2 burner gas stove, a small sink and small refrigerator. It came with enough kitchen utensils to easily make and consume simple meals. The bathroom was tiny but sufficient for me - I think that my husband would have had a hard time fitting in the shower. The only downside is the noise from the rooms above - the water noise and squeaking of moving chairs was quite audible and I think that if the hotel was fully occupied that it would have been quite loud (I had only 1 room occupied around me). The reception area has 2 computers with internet access that you can purchase by the hour but there is NO wireless access. Likewise, there is a 42" flat-screen TV in the reception area but only small TV in each room. The paid laundry area has a single washing machine and each room has a drying rack. My clothes dried rapidly outside in the sun and breeze. The multilingual front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. The manager spoke quite passable English.
