Hotel dei Pini

The setting in the pine forest is incredible, and the private beach feels like a little piece of heaven. My room opened onto the grassy lawn facing the beach, with stunning snorkeling just 15 feet from my patio. It’s a quick 10 minute drive to Alghero and its wonderful history and restaurants. The staff were amazing, especially Antonio at the front desk, who was charming and very professional. The lifeguards were sexy, just wow! The bar staff even mastered my iced coffees. Highly recommend, and I look forward to returning.

We had dinner at the restaurant and really enjoyed both the food and the great service. Breakfast was tasty with lots of variety, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Each room gets its own sunbeds at the lovely private beach for the whole stay. The pool is great, with a beautiful view, and there are lots of pines around the property. Staff were friendly and always ready to help. Parking was easy with a car. Definitely a place I’d return to!

We found it good value for money, especially by Italian hotel standards. Our room was simple but comfortable, with a huge balcony and a clean, modern bathroom. It was clean, as were the common areas. The property is a bit dated, but we’ve had worse stays at hotels rated 9.4 elsewhere in Italy. That’s not to dismiss other guests’ experiences; maybe we got lucky this time or our expectations had already been lowered by other places. The private beach, sunbeds and water were spectacular and made for a very relaxing stay. Breakfast was delicious, and the one dinner we had was good, nothing spectacular. Staff were really nice and helpful. I wish there’d been a nicer evening atmosphere, perhaps a better bar or terrace, so we wouldn’t have gone into Alghero every night. It didn’t bother us much since we were only there for three nights before heading east. I’d definitely stay again.

The beach is amazing, and breakfast was delicious, with a barista making coffee. Our stay at the hotel was really nice and I highly recommend it. The one disappointment was the beach restaurant, where the man working was very rude. I didn’t like the margarita he made, as you can see in the pictures 😅. There wasn’t even salt on the glass, and it tasted like lemonade with some alcohol. When I said so, he replied, “i know what i put in it.” I guess he never even tried the margarita.
