Had a great lunch with a perfect view at the lake. Great food for even better prices, traditional and good portions. Even though they don't speak English, great service and hospitality. Would recommend!

We had a great vacation and absolutely loved it! The service and food were definitely a major highlight. Waking up every day with the view of the lake did wonders for my soul. I've already told all of my friends and family about this gem in the mountains of Sardinia. Now I'm telling you. : )

An amazing Place to chill and enjoy inner Sardinia located at the stunning lake gusana the hotel offers amazing food from breakfast till dinner. The rooms have stunning views over the lake with beautiful balconies. The staff is friendly and loves kids and is always there to help or give suggestions. I can only recommend the stay from relaxing on the massive Swimmingpool with views over the lake to hiking this place offers a lot in an location that provides also during the summer relaxation due to not being on every tourists map

Unbelievable hospitality, super friendly staff, amazing food including many authentic Sardinian dishes, very chilled pool area with a life guard on duty all the time, great views of the sunrise over Lake Gusana, fun activities close by, yet absolute rural stillness at night. 100% recommendation for a deeply authentic, deeply relaxing experience!

If I could leave a 10 stars review, I would. First of all I want to give huge thanks to Rosella and her entire staff. Any time we had a request, their reply was invariably "Of course, anything you need". The food was delicious, fresh, different for every meal. The room was immaculate, the view painfully beautiful, right over the lake Gusana. We slept deeply well each night (and afternoon ), rare when staying in hotels. We will go back soon.
