Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru

We recently stayed at Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru for our honeymoon, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The location is perfect—ideally situated for exploring the stunning beaches, charming towns, and the beauty of the Costa Smeralda. But what truly sets this place apart is the atmosphere: it feels like a peaceful, secluded paradise. The hotel grounds are absolutely gorgeous—lush, serene, and full of character. There's a deep sense of tranquility here that made our stay feel incredibly special and relaxing. Every detail, from the landscape to the design of the property, speaks of care and authenticity. This place truly holds a special place in our hearts!

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our stay at Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru. While the remote mountain location is undeniably beautiful and peaceful, it feels like this seclusion is being shamelessly exploited. For example, the hotel restaurant charges €8 for just 0.5L of water, even though the exact same bottle costs €3 in the minibar. Other than one complimentary 0.5L bottle of water per person upon check-in, no free water is provided throughout the stay. The restaurant prices are not just high – they are wildly inflated. We were charged €10 for a single portion of French fries – and yes, we counted them: just 32 fries, roughly the equivalent of one potato. A “steak” for €45 turned out to be just two small strips of meat, not a full steak. And a simple toast with half an avocado and a few eggs cost €25. The pricing feels deliberately excessive, clearly taking advantage of the fact that there are no other food options nearby. One evening, we were even asked if we had a reservation to dine at the hotel’s only restaurant – as hotel guests, this seemed absurd. Where else were we expected to eat, in the middle of a remote mountain area with the nearest village several kilometers away and no transportation? The chef was also unprofessional and dishonest. When I pointed out that I hadn’t received the lamb liver I had previously ordered and recognized, he insisted it was the same dish. I know with absolute certainty that it wasn’t liver. When I asked him to show me the liver in the kitchen, he refused – which confirmed he had lied. To make matters worse, our villa had visible mold behind the bathroom sink, and the toilet flushing system didn’t work properly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday staying here. The hotel grounds are stunning - any which way you look your view is beautiful and contributes to the overall serene vibe of the place. The staff are also considerate and go above and beyond - they remain professional but make an effort to feel personable and even though we were only there for 5 days, by day two there was already a lovely warm familiarity with all our interactions with the team there. |The main pool area was well kept and quiet (as lots of the apartments have their own pools) and breakfast became something we looked forward to everyday!

Wow! What a conundrum. The Stazzo lu Chiaccura almost fulfilled my lifetime search for the perfect Hotel. I say ‘almost’ because it ticked all the boxes before we came and whilst it didn’t disappoint, I just couldn’t excuse some basic issues preventing ‘perfection’.||OK, so the Hotel boasts ‘quiet, relaxed and peaceful’ and certainly the location is quiet. Set in around 80 acres of ancient Olive Grove and miles from a main road – make that miles from anywhere – It certainly ticks that box.||The grounds are not maintained, they are manicured to perfection. Important to note is that the Accommodation, Restaurant and Bar are well spread out, taking ample advantage of historic buildings, however the site is hilly with many slopes, steps and stairs everywhere and is not Disabled friendly.||The rooms are an unusual mix of modern minimalism and The Flintstones. Odd yes, but it works because of the Designer Shower and Bathroom fittings, not to mention the discrete lighting, which was, if I am honest a little confusing. On that point, it would have been great if someone had explained that the Drapes were electric rather than manual. Until we realised, drawing the curtains was a wrestling match!!||Through circumstance we opted for the ‘Spa Suite’, which came with an in-room Sauna and a private outdoor Heated Swimming Pool. First rate, except at £1,000 a night, don’t expect clean sheets every day! No, if you want clean sheets, you will get them, but only if you demand.||The Room had a Coffee machine, but you only get 4 ‘Pods’ a day. Again, you have to beg for more.||Bliss to have a Private Pool and this Suite has a large ‘L’ shaped Pool at that, but despite £1,000 a day, it’s £5 a day extra for Pool Towels.||Methinks the Bean Counters have been to work and frankly the Pennies they will be saving, colours the perfection.||And so to the ‘Conundrum’. Whilst vaunting ‘Peace’ and ‘Silence’, the Hotel actively invites children. Please don’t get me wrong as I have 6 children of my own and 7 grandchildren and I love them all. I take them all on holiday once a year at least. However, when I holiday as a couple with my wife, I don’t want to be ‘entertained’ by other people’s children. Sorry. Not Sorry.||I’m afraid small children have a Volume Control with just 2 Settings :- Loud and Screaming. They can’t help it. Plus, at this Hotel there is NOTHING for them to do except the Communal Pool. Thus, they get bored very easily and their parents have their faces in their phones and so the children find other amusements.||Forgive me, but in my Lexicon, Peace & Quiet and Children are mutually exclusive. It doesn’t work!||Now fortunately, we had a Private Pool, but had we not and had we paid £600 a night for a regular Room which shared the Communal Pool, I would have been vexed. Can you imagine a couple seeking Peace and Quiet whilst having shrieking children running between their loungers? Sorry, but the management have lost the plot in this regard.||So, if you come to Stazzo, go the extra mile and get a ‘Couples’ Suite with a Private Pool and you will get your Peace and sleep. It’s worth the difference.||So, to the Food. The evening Food is expensive, but superb. A meal for 2 with drinks will cost you £200. But, it is a dining experience. So good we ate in the restaurant 4 times and it was varied and faultless.||However, despite the high tab for the meal, expect a family with a 2 year-old and another [shrieking] in a pushchair to be seated at a table next to yours! Not exactly romantic. Amazingly, the pompous Maitre d’ did not have the nous to site children away from couples!||On this matter, the waitresses often out-numbered the Diners [offput by the cost?] and were superb. During the 9 times I ate in the Restaurant the Maitre d’ did not ONCE ask me “Is everything OK?” - Management please note. Vittoria would make a better replacement than the present Maitre d’.||The Lunchtime menu is limited and boring, but eatable - £20 for a Club Sandwich.||The included Breakfast is a disaster and you WILL be disappointed. They offer an ‘English’ Breakfast, but the Breakfast Chef is lazy and WILL NOT cook to order. He arrives before service [at 8 a.m.] and cooks the eggs, bacon, sausage and mushrooms and then puts them under heat lamps, so all he has to do is slide items from a tray onto a plate. The result is barely edible. Eggs with solid yolks, Mushrooms dried to shoe leather and the Sausage made me want to puke. Plus, it was all COLD!!||Such a shame.||I so wanted to find somewhere that ticked all the boxes, so I could return again and again.||So, would I return? Oddly yes, but the Owner would have to re-think the marketing and go ‘Adults Only’ first and seriously if she did, I’d be happy to pay more per Room to ensure the Hotel provided it’s USP – Peace and Quiet.

Matteo and his team from the restaurant are so kind and professional. The menu is varied and high level. Martina from the reception is friendly and always helpful. The barkeeper is a virtuoso in his field. Thanks for those fresh and powerful drinks. A stay at Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru is always a good decision. Thanks for a wonderful time. See you soon!

I am so happy based on their website I choose this wonderful resort to stay at while in Sardegna! It surpassed all my expectatons. We were privileged to taste their first vintage of Vermimento Wine from grapes grown on the property! The food was devine! Service was professional, friendly and welcoming. Wish I could have stayed in Sardegna just to stay here longer. They gave us an upgrade to a suite with our own private heated pool. The growns are immaculate. Do be prepared for construction if you stay this year, as they are improving and expanding the suites and ammenities. You will be happy you chose Stazzo Lu Ciaccaru to relax and enjoy your vaction at. Now if I could get the recipe for a dish on their menu called Chiusoni Of Semolina, Fonduta al percorino, tomato sauce, reduction of beef and sausage! Ciao!

Beautiful and peaceful location. The structure is amazing and the service was great. The room was clean nice and quiet. We will definitely go back

We made this our base for exploring northeastern Sardinia. We were a family of 5 (2 parents and 3 adult children in their 20's). The grounds are very beautiful. We had reserved one of the villas. Due electrical damage from a storm (not the fault of the hotel), we could not all stay in the villa. However, the hotel more than made up for the issue by giving us a beautiful suite with a private outdoor pool in the main hotel for some of us to stay in. It worked out perfectly for us. The staff at the resort are fantastically helpful. They gave us great beach recommendations and offered any help we could need. Breakfast was also very good and served in their beautiful dining area. ||The only negative item is the dinner at La Ciminea. It is over-priced and not very good, but that did not effect our stay at the resort.
