Aparthotel Domus De Janas Sul Mare

Small Mansard Room has many clever space saving features, with ample shelves and cupboards (and lots of wooden hangers) which make the room quite efficient. The doors and ceiling are low, but we knew this beforehand and were SO glad we booked it, to guarantee a sea view balcony. Having a 2nd balcony facing the opposite direction towards the mountains was a fun luxury. (We don’t know how we have managed in the past. Clearly one needs a different balcony for sunrise than for sunset ;-) The mountain view one had a roof which made life pleasant on our one very wet day. Many small luxuries including a kettle and teabags, with proper teacups. There were both water glasses and wine glasses, and most importantly, a corkscrew. Also a generous selection of snacks as part of the minibar. There was mosquito room repellent, but we found we didn’t need to use it. There were bedside lights and one overhead light, but I would have preferred the room a bit brighter overall. There were multiple electrical plugs on both sides of the bed. Sure, space was a bit tight in places, but goodness, they thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, even a washing line for wet swimsuits etc, with a few pegs. The buffet breakfast was great and had a large selection of local items including bakery bread and multiple varieties of cheeses and jams, even prickly pear flavour. After seeing them growing all over the island, the jam was delicious and our only hotel that had it. Also among all the choices of cakes, look out for the yummy chocolate tart! An especially thoughtful gesture was the flexibility on using the hotel facilities after we had checked out of our room. This enabled us to shower in the gym building following our canoeing adventure. They even offered to let us keep hold of the room towels to do so. (There’s a laundry basket in the shower room to put them in afterwards). A word about the canoes. We knew it would be physically demanding, but we failed to grasp just how difficult it would be. Two canoes were left for us at the shore along with 2 life vests, which we noticed were different sizes to suit us (thank you!). No instructions. We later learned from experienced friends that it truly is impossible to get back into a canoe unassisted, once it is in the water. It will repeatedly flip over unless another person comes alongside and lays their paddle across the other canoe to stabilise it. Unfortunately, I lacked the skill to get anywhere near my husband. Thank goodness he had a life vest, which had a clip in the middle, but it didn’t have a cord or way of securing it at the bottom edge. As a result, the vest went up overhead multiple times, but he managed to wriggle it back down as he held onto his canoe, arms overhead. I’m guessing the canoes and vests are outsourced, not property of the hotel, but the vests could probably use an upgrade. To be fair, it did its job. We had a fun time and I hope the hotel continues to offer this opportunity. I would enco

The staff is very service minded. The breakfast has everything, including baqcon and eggs if desired. The location is excellent 100 meters from a beautiful beach. The restaurant serves good food. Rooms with sea view. The price is very reasonable in April.

Cosy hotel with good beds in clean rooms. Great breakfast buffet and diner restaurant: fresh fish, sardinese specials, pizza. Very nice staff.

We did not stay at the resort but did stop for a group lunch that was delicious. The wait staff were amazing and friendly. The view from atop the building is gorgeous, as it overlooks the beach across the street.

Went with my wife, daughter and her family 26-31st July 2022. It was a great experience of an old fashioned resort. What a lovely experience of a family run hotel. Stayed in a rooftop Mansarda room with private balcony, table chairs and loungers plus clothes line! Lots of lovely touches. They are quite eco friendly so buy some water holders and there’s free water all day. It’s right by the very pretty beach. They sort out chairs for the beach for you at a very reasonable rate. The restaurant was excellent. We went to another restaurant one day and nowhere near as good. Very friendly and helpful genuine people. Yes it’s a bit of a shlup from the airport but well worth it. Will definitely recommend to all and hopefully return one day. Just moved to another hotel closer to Olbia and the difference is noticeable!!!!

We are coming to the end of our stay here which has been wonderful. First time on Sardinia and this hotel did not disappoint. It is really charming and gives a feeling of traditional Italian holidays. Rooms were tidy and clean. Breakfast lovely like all the food here. Fantastic quality. Beach is stunning, water crystal clear. Feels like we have discovered a hidden gem!!
