I loved this hotel! From beginning to end everyone was so helpful. A beautiful pool. Such an amazing location in San Pantaleo- which was such a great home base for my trip to northern Sardinia. Amazing beaches just ten minutes away, but also only up to 30 minute drive for anything I needed. I would definitely stay again!
Great location a short walk from San Pantaleo, which is a really beautiful town with several great restaurants. Lots of steps in the hotel, so not for people with limited mobility.
Perfect location. Close to everything and in a beautiful downtown . I stayed here for my last night after staying in 7pines resort and Su Golgone. I would say it is by far better use for your money than 7pines .
Great hotel with very friendly and service minded staff. Great location for vacation in Costa Smeralda. 3 minute walk to the square in San Pantaleo with cafees and restaurants. Very nice pool area with super views. We rented high quality bikes from Manubrio Basso 2 minutes walk from hotel. We biked to the beach and in the country side.
The property is unique and very well maintained.
The staff are also very helpful.
You need a car if you plan to visit the beach/explore other towns.
Taxis are very expensive.
5 star rating for everything. This place is a real gem. As strange as it sounds, it reminds me of a few of our favorite places in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a totally unexpected find in Sardinia.
This was a true gem of a hotel. I was so lucky to be able to stay for two nights, as it was booked out for days. Absolutely beautiful location and facilities. Incredible views and one of the best pools. Loved the poolside drink and snack service, the proximity (literally 2 min walk) to the center of town, and breakfast offered a wide variety of foods, healthy protein & carb options, and strong coffee. Close to hiking and easy driving access to the Yacht Club Porto Sardegna. The front desk and all staff were kind, and accommodating. Will absolutely return in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Just ok. Clean. Nothing great. Very simple room. Breakfast mediocre.
Beautiful location! Walking distance from everything in town. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Great location to beaches, wineries, hikes, etc (by car). Great staff.
A lovely and unassuming hotel that does everything well and has a gracious and pleasant staff that makes you feel very much at home. Excellent and comprehensive breakfast. Be prepared to do a little hiking to get to your spacious room, but it's worth it when you get there. Wonderful people. Short walk to the town center, market, cafés...
Our experience at Arathena was just wonderful! Staff was very friendly and helpful and even supported me with an amazing birthday surprise for my boyfriend during the dinner. They went above and beyond! The food was top notch as well, we ate twice there because it was so good. We absolutely enjoyed the great atmosphere at the hotel and the highlight is for sure the dining area with the beautiful terrace. We will definitely return!
Les chambres dites "standard" sont situées uniquement au 1er niveau.
Vue de la fenêtre de la chambre sur une montée d'escalier donc rideau tiré obligatoire en permanence et deux sièges prévus pour extérieur mais installés dans un couloir de passage avec vue sur plusieurs entrées de chambres...donc non utilisables.
Vraiment déçus pour un séjour de cinq nuits..
Hotel är helt ok, rent och vänlig personal. Hiss verkade saknas och det var trappor till pool, rum, frukost, restaurang mm. Sedan kan jag tycka att när man bokar via hotels.com och man är guldmedlem att uppgradering borde vara självklart. Speciellt när det är lågsäsong och få boenden.
quel paix même en plein Aout !!! superbe chambre et salle de bain , d'une propreté impeccable et un personnel surtout au petit déjeuner d'une gentillesse et serviabilité que beaucoup de 4* ou 5* devrait prendre en exemple .
un séjour paisible , dans un petit village très animé le soir .
les plages sont à 15/20 minutes de voiture maximum .
Merci pour ce séjour très agréable. Au restaurant, et au petit déjeuner, le service était parfait. La qualité du petit déjeuner également. La vue depuis la piscine était incroyable. Nous reviendrons.
This hotel was a mix of great and not so great for me. The town of San Pantaleo was really cute and it grew on me more and more. I am happy we stayed there. The hotel I will outline in pros and cons.
Pros
* Incredible staff. Front desk staff always ready to help. Restaurant staff spectacular!!! I can’t say enough about them.
* Restaurant was awesome. Food excellent overall. Dinners were great and breakfast was outstanding. Lots of choices and the coffee out of this world!
* Lobby had a nice sitting area with a tv. Comfortable to hang out.
*. Pool was really nice! Nice views over the mountains and valley from the pool. Great place to hang out.
Cons
* I’ve come to notice that with Hotels.com you often get the worst room. We certainly must have gotten the worst room. No view, garden facing so the mosquitos were always there. All the other rooms had nice terraces and views.
* The bed aside from being hard had a thick mattress cover that made you sweat and feel like the bed was damp. Super awful feeling.
* The hairdryer in the bathroom is one of those really old plastic ones that heat up hot in two minutes and burn your hand while not drying your hair at all.
* The room was more of a 2-3 star affair. Not even close to 4 stars. Very basic. Not very comfortable.
While I clearly hated the room, the hotel in general had such a nice feel that I always looked forward to coming back at the end of the day.
Wonderful atmosphere in a small cozy hotel in a small “mountain” village.
All staff are nice and helpful.
Fantastic continental breakfast.
Certainly a place that I will come again and highly recommended as a spot for exploring north part of Olbia.
