Grand Relais dei Nuraghi

Stayed at the Gran Relais Dei Nuraghi for our honeymoon for 10 days. Must say that the excellent staff are what make this a 5 star hotel. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Our room had a large garden area to sit out in although the weather was very mixed for our stay which was from the 8th September. The room was cleaned daily and was very comfortable. On the rainy days we tried to watch tv but found the tv menu totally un fathomable so used my iPad to watch stuff on YouTube. A lot of rain on the 2nd day and got quite chilly in the evenings. The breakfast was very good with a good varied choice from cereal to eggs Benedict. We ate at the restaurant on 2 occasions and could not fault the food and service, especially by Ernesto the Maitre d’ who was very professional and friendly. Most nights there was a pianist playing in the lobby bar area which could be heard out by the pool. The private beach is just a short walk away and has a small bar and sun beds by the beach. The pool area is really nice but the water was very cold. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the nearest village of Baja. You pass by Foodie restaurant on the way which is well worth a visit. In Baja there are several restaurants which were all ok. The only one I would say to avoid was Corbezzolo which wasn’t good at all but maybe we went on an ‘off night’ On each Wednesday we were there there was live music in the area by the main restaurants, a mix of modern music and traditional Sardinian. Made the mistake of not booking a hire car from the airport (Olbia), as we expected there to be a hire car office in Baja or a visiting representative from Jet2 at the hotel which there was neither, so hired one through the hotel which was extremely expensive but as it was our honeymoon…🤦‍♂️😂 Hired a mini convertible for 3 days and visited Alghero which was about a 3 hour drive due to roadworks and traffic. If you go there make sure you also take the coast road down to Bosa which has stunning views along the way. We also went to Olbia for one of the days which is also recommended once you find somewhere to park. Use the free car park close to the ferris wheel. Visited a couple of beaches on another day but the weather wasn’t great so didn’t stay. Think we were lucky that Phi Beach party beach had closed down for the season so we didn’t experience any of the noise that others have commented on. We did walk down to Phi Beach but were met by an extremely large and aggressive security guard who made it clear that we were not welcome there! Overall this was a very nice hotel and we intended to return someday. Sardinia is a stunning island that also requires several more visits.

Excellent hotel. Great staff. Lovely rooms, we had a suite with it's own garden. Private beach. Wonderful pool area. A short walk in to town with multiple bars and restaurants.

My partner and I and another younger couple just spent a week at the above hotel. It was wonderful with excellent food, and superb wine. Service was fantastic and very comfortable and quiet rooms. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Exceptional service and professionalism from all staff. Wonderful style of property with quirky and unusual rooms. High quality food. Downsides are lack of dining options (ie one restaurant) and small details like not enough bed pillows and quality of pillows very mediocre. The major downside is the proximity of Phi Beach Club which boomed most of the night and disturbed my sleep on 3 of 4 nights.

We spent 13 nights in July at this beautiful hotel. We stayed in room 201 which was a special treat for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary during our stay. The room was spacious, and we had a garden area with a pool. We were pleasantly surprised at how big the pool was. From the time we arrived to leaving, all the staff were amazing and helpful. They were part of our holiday as we saw them every day and they remember you, your drinks and room number! Special "shout out" to Ernesto - fantastic advice on the wine and adjusted our meals if needed. Valentina - our lovely housekeeper who took care of us. Massimo who attended to our pool morning and evening and we had laughs communicating via Google Translate. Georgio - we could not do a review without mentioning Georgio as again, he took time out to chat to us as everyone did. Raf - "music man" such talent on the guitar and piano and again, a really friendly engaging guy. There are many more and sorry for not mentioning everyone however for anyone looking to stay at a hotel where the staff cares then come here. We miss our holiday every day and certainly our daily walk to the beach bar at 4 pm! We did venture out of the hotel, we had meals in the town, and Foodie is a great restaurant if you fancy pizza or pasta one night. Just a fantastic holiday from start to finish and thank you to everyone at Grand Relais Dei Nuraghi
