Hotel Villa Gemella website is quite misleading . They have taken some outstanding pictures, but the real facilities don't live up to them at all.

Worse though, is the owners and staff:
- We were told on the phone the hotel was walking distance (300 meters) from the beach, when in reality it is over a kilometer.
- We were a large group, hence last April we had booked 3 rooms for a long weekend in July. They even take a deposit to make a reservation! But when we finally arrived, they only had 2 rooms for us and had to send part of the group to a sister hotel. Not only they did the booking mistake, but did not even apologize for it!
- I was sharing a triple room with other two friends and one day we only found towels for 2. When we called to ask for a third set of towels the hotel owner/manager refused to send it, saying we should already have a thir set in the room and that we were just trying to get a fourth one. So that night one of us dried up with a face towel! Then day of check out the hotel manager wanted to charge us for having 'stolen' the third set of towel which was never found in our room.

At 150 euro per night (double) without even having enough hote water to take a shower, I would definitely not a reccommend the place!

The positives: sardegna ruggedly gorgeous (this makes up for a lot when staying "3-star"), hotel well located, rooms clean, intimate feel with rooms leading mainly to lovely swimming pool, nice breakfast selection, free parking, decent price for high season.

The negatives: tempermental / disorganized staff (confirm your reservation ahead of time, if you don't receive a set of towels for your room, let them know so that you are not charged, etc), guest can sometimes feel like they are bending to staff's will than the other way around, internet service expensive (e25/day), stingy on beach towels (wanted to charge us for fresh ones so we used the same ones 3 days in a row), beds hard (so if you prefer soft beds, you have back pain), hot water availability and quality of finishes inconsistent among the rooms (in our group, we had a variety of rooms).

Overall, a typical "3-star" experience, with a dash of tempermentalism, to make the experience authentically Italian :)
