DO NOT USE THE GPS to get here! It will take you through the tiny alleys of Oliena. Follow their advice and take the main road around the city. I booked a half board, which just made things a bit easier, although I didn't realize there was a separate, smaller menu for that, so I didn't get to try some of the items I had wanted for dinner. No matter, what I did order was delicious! The rooms are clean and simple. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs as everything echos and the doors and walls are thin. On one side of my room was the staircase, on the other side was the neighbors toilet, one night sounded like pipes were clanking... It is a great place for hiking as there are trails right from the hotel. Even though the road is windy, it's no big deal to go out for the day to explore and sightsee and come back at the end of the day. Lots of things to do within an hour drive.
