My wife and I stayed in Rosa Suite 7 at Costa Paradiso Resort in August of this year. We booked this hotel for a peaceful relaxing and romantic getaway to... read more recharge after a busy year of work.

We were not disappointed. The Costa Paradiso Resort is located in a peaceful valley by the coast. There are three beach areas to visit all within walking distance. The first and closest beach is approximately 15 minutes’ walk. The largest beach, which happens to be the furthest away, is a leisurely 35-40 minute picturesque walk. A car is a must to get around outside of the resort and nearby towns of Tempio Pausania, Castelsardo, Santa Teresa and Palau (for a boat trip to La Maddalena) are all worthy day trips.

Within valley and in the heart of the resort you have three restaurants near the closest beach (about 15 minutes’ walk) which offer traditional Sardinia cuisine, Pizza and fresh Seafood. There is also a cocktail bar that offers spectacular views of the ocean and is a great place to sit and watch the sunset.

Down towards the base of the resort and close to the largest beach you have another restaurant/bar that offers traditional bar food (burgers/hot dogs/pizza etc.). You can also hire a boat from this are for approximately 120 euro for half a day or 180 euro for the full day.

Moving up towards the resort entrance at the top of the valley you have two bars and a further two restaurants as well as a parade of shops. Here, you will also find a supermarket to buy the various bits and pieces for your stay within the apartment.

The apartment itself was simply decorated but to a good standard. The kitchen facilities and amenities were sufficient to cook an evening meal - although there could have been some pepper and some simple dried herbs/spices to aid cooking. The bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage to hang clothes.

The apartment had a good Wi-Fi connection and TV reception. The best part of the apartment by a mile was the outdoor area, plenty of space to lie on a sunbed in the sun or lie on an double sunbed in the shade. The setting of the apartment was peaceful, quiet and hosted the sun for the majority of the day. The pool was cleaned each morning and the apartments are generally well looked after.

Sanji, our host for two weeks who lived on the resort, was excellent and very friendly. On day one he took us for a tour of the local sights and happily pinned us his recommendations for local attractions, restaurants and day visits. He regularly stopped to talk to us to ensure we were happy without imposing on our privacy or interrupting our relaxation.

  We just spent the most blissful 3 nights at Villa Paola in Costa Paradiso Resort! The villa is beautiful, the pool area is stunning and so well thought out. We... read more loved every moment of our stay. The service from Sagi was also impeccable - friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. We would definitely return!

  Our villa was lovely, comfortable rooms & so the view was very pretty, but the pool was really cold as not heated. The tv didnt work but that didnt worry... read more us. In peak season lots of amenities near by but lots arent open out of season.
