Hotel Lido Degli Spagnoli Wellness & Spa

Our stay at this hotel and spa was perfect. The location is gorgeous, walking distance to the beach and the center of town. The service was great! It was peaceful, clean and quiet. Perfect for our family because we were looking for the place with less tourists and very local Italian. The day trip to Carloforte was so fun!

There were many things we enjoyed about this hotel. Among them: Beautiful views from our rooms and the pool deck, very warm and professional staff, an extensive breakfast selection that was very fresh and delicious, a beautiful, clean and warm swimming pool, and importantly, our rooms, bathrooms, and all the public areas of the hotel itself were extremely clean. It is evident that the staff take a lot of pride in providing excellent service. I very highly recommend Hotel Lido degli Spagnoli if you are traveling in Sardinia.

I have stayed here always when I visit Sardinia. It is a great hotel located right next to the beach and has a spa and pool and a very friendly staff who go out of their way to help. For me there is no better place to stay. you can access many sightseeing places from here. I would recommend this hotel highly to anyone who wants to experience the beautiful place that Portoscuso is!

We stayed for one night while we were on a cycling tour of the area. The pool area is lovely with great views out to sea and of San Pietro island. We found the hotel to be a little lacking in atmosphere. Our room was large but furnished with very old fashioned furniture and fabrics. The bed was not very comfortable. The restaurant was closed (no reason given), so a 20 minute trek into town for dinner. The walk back along the coastal path was interesting as there was no lights in places. Breakfast was good, a good selection of yoghurts, fruits, cooked, pastries. Some fruit salad would have been nice rather than whole fruit.

The hotel is in a great location. There is a huge pool which never seems to be busy, sun beds which look out across the sea towards the island of San Pietro and clean, comfortable rooms, many of which have great views of the coastline. The lovely beach (Spiaggia di Portopaglietto) is less than 5 minutes walk away and it is only a 25 minute walk to get into the town centre mostly along a coast path. Breakfast was good with plenty of different items available, although things did get a bit 'samey' after 10 days at the hotel. One improvement since our last visit is that guests can now ask for a teapot at breakfast as the cups are too small for a tea bag. The staff were very friendly and accommodating particularly those in reception. We did however have one issue, the hotel has centrally controlled air-conditioning and it seems that because we were there in the second half of September (15th-25th) the hotel seemed to think switching this off in the evening and at night was okay. We had to repeatedly ask for the air-conditioning in our room to be turned on, when we found the temperature in the early hours getting up to more than 28C. This made our stay more stressful than it should have been as we didn't like to keep asking, but we found it necessary as we would return to the hotel after dinner to find the room at 27C knowing it would then get hotter later. On our last couple of days the message seemed to get through and the aircon was left on, but it took a long while. The annoying part of this was that if it did get too cool it was possible to make the aircon cut off in the room, but it was not possible to make it come on when it was turned off centrally. This was a great shame as it somewhat spoiled what was otherwise a good stay.

We stayed at this wonderful hotel for one night while on a cycling tour of the area, it was a great choice! We arrived late in the day very tired but the reception staff helped us find a suitable place to lock up the bikes and helped us to our large clean room with great views of the sea! Once showered we went to the pool for a quick swim, it was nearly empty (mid September). For dinner we walk along the coastal road into town for dinner and found a great little place in the middle. Breakfast was very varied with easily enough to go around. I would recommend this hotel easily for a holiday in the area.
