Hotel Balocco

The location of the hotel is superb and there were some good restaurants in the area

It was impossible to go for a walk down to Puerto Cervo becaus one had to walk down a very busy main road which did not have a pavement

The Hotel is perfect. Clean bed linen & towels daily, excellent choices for breakfast, staff extremely courteous & friendly - nothing was too much bother for them. Very comfy sun loungers, 2 lovely pools, beautiful gardens, fantastic panoramic views. Good choice of reasonable restaurants locally. Car advised to see more of the stunning island. Will definitely return.

Could not fault a thing.

Relaxed and went to the beach

Good pool & lovely views

Drinks etc very expensive. Hotel restaurant & snack bar closed for the winter after 5 days, so the rest of the holiday we were struggling. We were not told this when we booked.

All the staff were first class. The location was good, particularly if you had a car, although the car park could fill up early. We had a standard room which was fine but if you are staying for a longish period, might be worth asking for an upgrade or getting their "best" standard.

Nothing particular although a bit closer, in terms of being able to walk, to the port area and a wider selection of restaurants/bars would have been good.

Very nice green area, pool with a wonderful view to Porto Cervo Marina. Shuttle bus to the beach every day. Nice restaurant. The Rooms with View are all very nicely located and open to a nice inner garden.

Make sure you book Room withotu view - it basically means that you won`t have a window at all. It either is very small (the window), or opens to a "technical" yard, where staff works, smokes, etc. You have no privacy. And the airconditioning system is not working properly, so without opening the window you simply can`t breathe. There are 2 layers of curtains on the window - one is light, the other is thick, rubbery (to protect you from light), and you can`t separate them. So if you want to get some fresh air in your room, you have to open the curtain fully. The hotel is located not very close to Porto Cervo Centre, without a car it would be hard to reach. Marina is more close.

Nice location, beautifull garden, atentive staff, convenient free parking.

Rooms without 'sea view' might be dark, with tiny windows looking to the internal yard.

the bar, swiming pool,

the interior room was dark, dated, noisy, hot as the air con did not work, bathroom half nice and half old and dirty.

The rooms, the view, the proximity to everything, the kind service of reception and owners which are the best, the large room with unique balcony, the tv, the cooling ac, the breakfast... Would live to return

We stayed here the first night, as it was not far from the Olbia airport and was a more reasonable hotel on the Emerald Coast for the start of our one week driving trip through Sardinia. The restaurant was excellent.

They first gave us a musty, small room in the old section that was not acceptable. When we walked back to the lobby to complain about the noisy air conditioner, the bed leg so close to the wall that I tripped over it twice, and the condition of the room, they upgraded us into the main building to a lovely suite. The staff was cooperative and helpful in making the change. The prices in August are much higher and that month should be avoided.

Hotel was sweet, staff was very gentle and helpful. They have swimming pool and all facilities (showers and bathroom). The best beaches of Emerald Coast are near. Definitely a nice stay.

The pool and facilities were very nice and the decor at the hotel was very appealing. The bar area is great with great views.

Unfortunately our room had a leaking toilet and smelt very damp - we were changed room after 2 nights to a more pleasant room. The hotel is advertised as being 900m from the town - it is a difficult walk to the town, rather than 900m as the crow flies!
