Hotel Speraesole

We booked 2 nights with friends and we had a fantastic stay! Our room had a little balcony with view if the pool and the gardens, we had a little drying rack for our swimming costume to dry after a day at the beach. Immaculately clean, comfy beds and good cocktails! It is situated in a rd full of restaurants and the choices for dinner and gelato are endless. I would recommend and definitely come back!! Bit pricey but worth it!

The hotel is built like a Roman Villa. Our room was comfortable although the mattresses were very soft. There was a mini bar which had space for a pint of milk. The shower was good, but leaked after each use. The breakfast was ok, mix of continental items as well as scrambled egg and bacon. Not much choice for healthy options, but there was a good selection of fresh fruit. The staff were all friendly and helpful, in particular Judith on reception who gave us lots of helpful tips on getting around the island. If you are happy with spending every day at one beach situated about a mile from the hotel (there is a shuttle bus from the hotel) then you'll be fine here. However, if not, and you are not willing to hire a car, do not stay at Murta Maria. We hired a car after experiencing first hand the totally unreliable bus service. Driving in Sardinia was fine as the roads are pretty windy and narrow so speed isn't often fast. No-one seems to observe speed limits. There are plenty of options for day trips from Murta Maria. The town itself has many excellent restaurants/cafes/takeaways and all at very reasonable prices. A meal out including a bottle of wine for two costs around 48 euros. A pizza costs about 8 euros. I recommend organising your hire car to collect from the airport and drop off at the end. Be cautious on the level of cover you are offered. The hotel pool and grounds are really lovely. This hotel is like an oasis in many ways.

We are very satisfied with all the impeccable services with a friendly and very kind staff. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends with confidence.

A lot of people use this as a stopgap in Sardinia as it’s just 10 minutes from the airport, and then move on. Being 10 minutes away you’d expect to hear planes all the time, infact quite the opposite, never heard much at all. The deluxe room was reasonably spacious, and came with air conditioning which worked and was quiet. We also had a private balcony to relax on. Food was very nice and well presented, with the service from the staff excellent. Breakfast was a buffet affair with choices of hot and cold food and cereals and fruit, plenty of tea and coffee. Both lunch and evening meal were a relaxed sit down 3 course meal, presented to high high standard, with vegetarian choices available. The swimming pool was clean and about 5ft deep in the main part, enough to stand in with you shoulders under the water (I’m 5’7”). There is also a bar around the pool which is chargeable to the room or to credit card. The grounds are spacious enough with loungers dotted about and trees or umbrellas to shade underneath. If you plan to stay as we did more than a day or so, consider a higher car as the local area doesn’t have a lot of local interest to see. Taxis are available of course. The hotel provides a free taxi to a beautiful local beach, this is very, very crowded, but if your up for the 20 minute walk the local beach is also very good, and as crowded, both with a small concession hut to sell you things. We had a great time and would recommend it to families, couples or just passing through.

Staff were helpful and kind. We felt very safe and at home. The restaurant is fantastic quality and the pool is beautiful. We have three young English children and they were very happy with the menu.

Very clean comfortable hotel. Staff are really friendly, and the food is fantastic. Atmosphere is relaxed and there is no shortage of loungers around the pool. Good to see more investment in the carpark being refinished. I recommend walking down to the local beach instead of bussing to Porto Istana as it is always busy.
