Arathena

Wow. We have enjoyed a wonderful 10 day stay at the beautiful Arathena hotel. The location is superb - only a few minutes walk from the town centre, which is very busy and vibrant in the evening - yet the hotel area is very quiet and peaceful, with a great view of the mountains. Most of all, we have enjoyed the fantastic hospitality of the staff of the hotel. The breakfast crew served amazing, fresh breakfast every day, the bartender prepares very tasty drinks and snacks, and you can ask anything at the reception and you will be helped so friendly. As the hotel is not that big, you will see the same staff most days, which adds a lovely personal touch. Most of the employees speak good English and like to have a chat. We would absolutely recommend this hotel if you want to discover the north (-east) area of Sardinia!

Hotel Arathena is a real gem, set in the absolutely picturesque town of San Pantaleo—actually one of the best towns we visited during our trip, and we saw most of the northeast. It’s a lovely place with great restaurants and boutique shops, tasteful and full of charm, but without being overly crowded.||The hotel itself strikes the perfect balance between character and comfort—it feels charming and unique without being old or tired. The pool area was lovely and peaceful, and a great spot to unwind. Breakfast was another highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options each morning.||A special shout-out to Bruno, who went above and beyond to accommodate my severe gluten allergy. He was not only incredibly thoughtful and careful, but he did it all with a warm smile every day. Thanks to him, breakfast was completely stress-free for me, which made a huge difference to our stay. Bruno truly helped make our visit extra special, and we’re very grateful.||All in all, Hotel Arathena exceeded our expectations. I can be quite picky when it comes to hotels, but I would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended

Beautiful location with incredible views & the staff were exceptional across the board — from reception to the bar and breakfast team — warm, professional & always helpful. Room was always kept immaculate & overall nice atmosphere within the hotel. Good variety for breakfast & close to a small supermarket & a 2min walk down to the the main village where there are lots of restaurants and boutiques to explore. Free hotel car park as well. The hotel is just a 30-minute drive from Olbia Airport. Would recommend hiring a car so you can get around to all the beaches.

We stayed at the hotel for a few days. The location is great and you can reach restaurants and bars in San Pantaleo on foot. The staff are very friendly. Our room was nice in itself but it was a little "musty". I think that can happen in the region and with the climatic conditions. Furthermore, the pool and pool area is very nice, but a little service at the pool would have been desirable. For the price of 235 EUR/night a little bit expandable but generally recommendable.

The Hotel is located in quiet area just a minute walk from the local village (which is gorgeous). Rooms are quite rustic without being old fashioned, they were thoroughly cleaned on a daily basis with the towels and bedding changed regularly.||Breakfast was of a very high standard, with a wide and varied choice of what to eat, the members of staff all acted and worked in a very professional and friendly manner. a big shout out to Pierre (apologies if incorrect spelling), who wore tirelessly in both the bar and at breakfast service.||The pool was amazing, the only let down was that some of the loungers were in need of replacing ( I did notice that some where being assembled, in a workshop downstairs).||This was a very relaxing holiday, after our recent trip to India which was loud and very tiring.||There were a couple of minor issues which were dealt with in an efficient manner by the hotel staff, such as an influx of ants (sorted with no fuss). A vase for putting in some fresh flowers (provided on request). The pool area can seem a bit quiet, perhaps some quiet music piped in? I did not ask.||Would I return, YES in a heartbeat. The Staff were Brilliant!!!!

The best thing about this hotel are the amazing staff, who were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has a very pretty and traditional feel in a quiet location. The village of San Pantaleo has a mini market, several restaurants and an ice cream shop. It is well worth hiring a car for day trips to nearby towns and beaches.

This was by far our favorite stay of our whole trip. Stunning views, the kindest staff, and a beautiful infinity pool. It really felt like a special place, if you’re visiting the area, this hotel is a must-stay! Can’t wait to come back one day!

This is a nice little hotel in a convenient location within the village. Our room was very spacious with a sizeable bedroom and bathroom and was cleaned daily. I would ask for a room with a balcony though. All staff polite and friendly and ready to help. The pool area is small with limited sun beds. Pool a little bit grubby and could do with a bit of a clean. That said, on a lovely day it’s a nice place to be. Bar does serve basic drinks until|3pm and then you can get poolside service. Breakfast was lovely with a great selection. Try and time it right with the mini supermarket down the road otherwise things like beer and water very over priced in the hotel from the bar and your mini bar. San Pantaleo is a nice village but again over priced for the quality it offers and I found quite restrictive in terms of restaurant capacity unless you want to book somewhere every night. Would I book again - probably not but would pass through some time.
