Baglioni Resort Sardinia

We recently spent 6 nights at the Baglioni Resort in Sardinia and we loved it. We’re a family of 4 with two kids (13 yo girl & 10 yo boy) with quite a bit of high-end travel experience and we’d definitely recommend Baglioni. The resort strikes a thoughtful balance between luxury and comfort, with attentive service and a setting that showcases the natural beauty of the region.||**Accommodations**||The rooms felt a bit compact by American standards, which is common in Europe, but they were well-appointed and comfortable. The resort’s layout takes full advantage of the scenic surroundings, and we honestly didn’t spend much time at all in the rooms.||**Dining**||The resort’s food was a highlight. The Michelin-starred Gusto restaurant offered a memorable tasting menu, while Mirto consistently served quality dishes in a pleasant setting. Our waiter at Mirto stood out for her professional and friendly service. Even the casual lunches at the resort were well-executed—with fresh caprese salads, sandwiches, and seafood, all served with a view. And the bar area is large with very comfortable chairs and couches and a great menu. Another bonus is the music they had at the bar - each night was a different vibe and/or performer. Nothing too dramatic, just great piano or singing or DJ. We loved it.||**Beach**||The beach is a major draw, with clear, calm water and a peaceful setting and a stunning view of Tavolara. Yes, it’s a walk from the resort but it’s beautiful and is a good buffer for the resort from the beach vibe. Comfortable lounge chairs, umbrellas and attentive staff made it easy to spend hours swimming, reading, or simply relaxing by the sea.||**Excursions**||The concierge team helped organize two excellent boat excursions - one to the north of the island and one to the south. Although the marina was about an hour from the hotel—something to factor in—the outings were well worth it. We visited several stunning coastal spots, including Cala Goloritzè and Cala Mariolu. One lunch stop at Hotel Capo D’Orso offered great food and beautiful views, making for a standout day on the water.||**Family-Friendly Atmosphere**||One of the resort’s strengths is how it caters to families without sacrificing a refined atmosphere. Our children (ages 13 and 10) felt welcome and engaged throughout the stay, especially on the beach, which became a daily highlight for all of us. Lots of open space around the hotel grounds to throw the football or just walk and take in the atmosphere.||**Final Thoughts**||Baglioni Resort is a premium option and delivers a high-quality experience. Between the location, service, and amenities, we found it to be an awesome resort and one we would whole-heartedly recommend. Our time there gave us a chance to slow down, connect, and create some great family memories. It’s a destination we’d gladly return to.||**Things We Wish We Had Known**||The distance to the marinas is an hour plus from the hotel so make sure to factor that into your plans if you do a boat excursion. Also, transportation to/from the marinas was expensive ($400+ euro each direction) when we arranged through the resort. ||Taxis are not a last minute thing. You need to arrange transportation in advance if you plan to go into town for anything (San Teodoro is super cute and there’s a night market that was very cool to walk around - they close down the streets to cars). ||Availability at the spa was too tight to arrange a massage once there. Recommend doing it before you arrive if your schedule allows.

We arrived and the staff were amazing! A bit of a wait for the room but we were able to access facilities and an upgrade (thank you). We were shown around the resort.|Food amazing|Housekeeping every day and turn back service. Fresh water and chocolates! |Staff so friendly and welcoming.|Quite expensive but we knew it would be. Cocktails are fab by the pool and staff were so accommodating.|Pool and beach amazing. |We wanted to have time to chill out from our busy lives and this holiday did not disappoint. A little walk to the beach and a small|beach bar was ideal, as it was much cheaper than the resort and we found a couple of restaurants within walking distance.|We did walk to the local supermarket but I would recommend hiring a car or taking good walking shoes. There was a concierge service and the gentleman was lovely and very helpful. We will definitely be returning…. Thank you to all the amazing staff!

My boyfriend and I had hoped for a luxurious stay, our experience fell far short of expectations. That said, I’ll begin with a few positives.||Check-in was seamless. We were warmly welcomed by a lovely receptionist, Laura, who went above and beyond—offering us an upgrade, allowing for early check-in, and personally showing us around the property. The breakfast buffet was also a highlight, offering a generous selection and attentive service.||Unfortunately, the positives ended there.||On our walk from the room to the restaurant, we were surprised by the amount of litter scattered along the pathway—including a baggage tag, bottle cap, and even dental floss (which was particularly off-putting). The overall grounds maintenance was disappointing: weeds growing through the sidewalks, poorly tended landscaping, and bird droppings in several areas. ||The restaurant experience—both lunch and dinner—was equally disappointing.||Our first attempt at ordering a hamburger cooked medium resulted in a dry, completely overcooked burger. We let it slide, assuming it might have been a one-off mistake. After all, what chef at a five-star resort can't properly cook a simple hamburger?||On our second attempt, we clearly explained our previous experience and emphasized—twice—that we wanted the burger cooked medium. Our server, Roberto, was understanding and tried to help. Unfortunately, the kitchen first served a medium-rare burger, and then followed it with one that was actually rare. At that point, we gave up.||Dinner that evening was mediocre at best. What stood out most wasn’t the food—it was the swarm of yellow jackets and wasps that descended on our table. When we mentioned the issue to our server, he casually remarked that moving us wouldn’t help, as they were “everywhere.” His flippant response only added to our frustration.||These details may seem small, but they add up—and are not what one expects from a resort positioned as five-star.

I had a truly exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and highly professional. The entire team made us feel welcome and cared for at every moment.||The food was absolutely outstanding. Each dish was made with top-quality ingredients and beautifully presented. The flavor, freshness, and creativity in every bite reflect an outstanding culinary level.||The most remarkable feature is its unmatched location. It’s a hidden paradise: you walk through nature trails alongside a crystal-clear lake, arriving at the stunning Sardinian sea. The dreamlike setting takes the whole experience to another level.||Moreover, it’s very family-friendly. There are wide, safe, natural spaces where both children and adults can enjoy themselves, making it a perfect choice for an unforgettable family getaway.||Without a doubt, this is a place I will recommend time and time again—perfect for those seeking disconnection, natural beauty, exquisite food, and top-notch service.

The pros:|Flawless check-in/check-out, good location, clean rooms (frequent cleaning), OK food, friendly staff, well-sized gym, own beach area with chairs. ||The cons:|Expensive at summer season (Over 2k/night for a family of four).|Food is very expensive, 3 scoops of ice cream ~15EUR. Simple cocktail ~25EUR. Sandwich ~35EUR.|Kids club is very small|No service at beach|Wasps everywhere, especially at restaurants.|Breakfast could be improved

We had a fantastic week here and returned home feeling relaxed. It took us a few days to adjust to the quietness of the resort, but mid-day naps under the poolside canopies, walks to the beautiful beach and a dip in the clear blue sea was just what the doctor ordered to recharge the batteries.|The rooms were spotlessly clean, the resort gardens were manicured and the staff all amazing (thank you to Niccolo who kept us well stocked with our aperols by the pool).|We always tend to stay in the hotel resort, but for one evening decided to go into San Teodoro to break the week up. We were shocked at the prices for car rentals so decided to take a taxi transfer, which the concierge arranged (40 euros one way and it was a 12 minute journey). San T was a nice little town, many restaurants to choose from.| You only had a choice of 2 restaurants at the hotel and the pool-bar - one restaurant was Gousto (Michelin star) and the other was an al la carte, which changed the menu often and had daily fresh fish specials on display.|The pool area was fantastic, staff were great and took you to your chosen cabana with towels and water. There were only 20 cabanas around the pool but it seemed to work as families only ventured out from 3pm when it got cooler.|Our only gripes during the week were - on arrival we were offered water, tea or coffee - which seemed a poor selection for such a quality hotel. When we asked for a cava, we were told it would be chargeable and did we want the bar menu ........this wasn't the welcome we'd hoped for after a day of travelling and delays. Also, the beach area should think about installing some kind of toilet (I appreciate it's public with a section for the hotel residents) as twice we took a leisurely walk to the beach along the path and was greeted by adult men urinating in the bushes. I'm just glad our children weren't with us on the holiday. Our last gripe were the prices of the drinks........21 euros for an aperol (and majority of cocktails were the same price). As the days went on and we relaxed into Sardinian mode, we decided just to forget about the prices until we had a rather big room bill on check out. One tip would be to walk to the beach bar and enjoy their bottles of aperol for 7 euros - it may not have the ice, but what a view!

Everything was perfect! The service was great, the hotel is beautiful and very clean. The rooms are lovely, big and super clean. The beach is amazing, the food was tasty, and even the car service was very good. We really had a great time. I 100% recommend this hotel! Mirto Restaurant: The service was just amazing! Everyone was kind, professional, and attentive. A special thank you to Giuseppe, who was incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. Also, Sandro was so kind and always attentive throughout our visit.

My wife and I visited for our 18th year anniversary.|From the moment you arrive until checkout, you feel as though you are at one of the most special hotels in the world.|The staff are truly incredible from the restaurants to the spa and especially the Concierge .
