Borgo Alba Barona Turismo rurale

Amazing location, lovely and quiet but at the same time only a stone's throw from many towns in the Costa Smeralda area. The rooms were lovely and private. The highlight was the exceptional hosting and the delicious breakfast.

This is a great spot if you know you need somewhere to rest your head whilst you explore the north of Sardinia. Breakfast is mostly continental style, with scrambled eggs also available, it was a decent start to the day. Definitely have your own car. The rooms are very very clean and host attentive and available to answer any questions for you.

Great place for campagne-style stay. The hostess is very welcoming and friendly. Amazing breakfast, spacious rooms and washroom. The location is a bit of track but for peace and quiet, its perfect.

Stunning location, you are surrounded by gentle hills and fields, see amazing sunset and the sea, very peaceful and serene. Accommodations are simple, but impeccably clean, managed by Francesca, who is one of the top service persons that we ever met in this business, grazie mille!

Great place to stay with the kindest and nicest hosts. Lovely views, super peaceful and quiet, and in great proximity to Olbia and Costa Smeralda. Highly recommend!

PROS:||-Beautiful view and chill vibe.||-Each room has loungers, and place to hang wet clothes outside to dry. This is very practical.||-Lots of fresh clean towels.||-Tea and coffee station in room with fridge. Free large water in the room, very nice touch.||-Location is lovely and isolated, and peaceful. The views are spectacular. Each room feels more like an independent unit. All of the rooms are on ground floor, so it feels like a mini-house.||-Beautiful kitten around the property when we were there, a real highlight.||-The bed itself is not very hard, which is great, it was comfortable.||||CONS:||-The price depending on demand, can be quite high for a basic hotel. (It ended up being 10 euro MORE per night, than a 4-star we stayed in afterwards in Porto Cervo area).||-Far from any shop, restaurant, amenities.||-Not super easily accessible down a long dirt road. But this is the other side of the coin, which is peace and quiet in an isolated area. (A double-edged sword!)||-No slippers or robe in room.||-Bathroom a bit dated, specifically the shower. (Could easily be upgraded to a walk-in shower.)||-No English TV channels!||-The breakfast wasn't to our taste. Also many flies during breakfast. Also it finishes a bit early, at 10am.||-The host, whilst she did absolutely nothing wrong, only her best; its not my style to be told so many instructions, whilst on a holiday.||When checking in, she told us things like; how much toilet paper to use, when to turn out balcony lights off, exactly where to park (as in, a few inches this way or that way) and so on. A bit like a head-mistress! We felt we were treated like a casual friend who was staying in their house, for free! (I wish!) and felt like a bit of an inconvenience to her.||-Be aware, they charge high fees for late check-ins, which is unusual for any hotel I've ever stayed at. (I wonder does this mean they will re-fund you if you leave a few hours early?! ;) )||-Note: not very accessible for elderly or wheelchair users FYI

Visited in April 2024. Highly recommend this pension. The rooms are very cozy. Each room has a veranda, where you can have a rest, relax and have a look at the sea in the far. The very good and friendly staff has to be emphasized! The room service does a great job every day with a great attention to detail. Also high praise to Francesca, the good soul of the property. She does a great job! Either with conjuring up delicious food, as well as when you have any question or request at any time, you can always ask her and she will do her best to help you. The pension is ecological very up to date, with charging station for BEV and photovoltaic plates on the roofs. All in all, I very recommend visiting this pension. Would do it again, when visiting Sardinia again in the future.

We had a great stay here, the property is beautiful and the pictures definitely don’t do it justice! Francesca is so sweet, and she offered us some cappuccinos and food when we arrived. She really puts a lot of love into her place. She sent us so many great recommendations too! The room was awesome - we can see the ocean right from it. It was super clean, and the shower was great. The bed is super comfortable. The location is perfect for everything - beaches are really nearby. Highly recommend and would definitely return.
