Aethos Hotel Sardinia

LikedThe view, the position, the service, the staff

Disliked- bad breakfast, not adapted to basic needs, most probably linked to cost savings - despite the 100 euro/day blocked at arrival, the invoice at the end was payed separately, because the retained fund didn’t allowed them to quick access of the money !!! Poor finance strategy !!

LikedIn a good location to be able to walk to restaurants and there is a fabulous view - they offer a shuttle service within a few kilometres to get to beaches and restaurants

DislikedWouldn’t be suitable for those who are less mobile due to walking and lots of slopes and steps to facilitate the great views. If you want to explore wider you need to have a car as taxis are extremely expensive

LikedThis hotel was stunning — the aesthetic was a perfect blend of beachy Palm Springs, Sardinian charm, and modern design. It felt effortlessly cool, like a decorator’s dream with laid-back island energy. I honestly left wanting to redecorate my whole house to match the vibe here. Breakfast was included and totally delicious — fresh, plentiful, and I especially loved the bulletproof coffees (a very nice touch). The pool was a showstopper — an incredible infinity edge overlooking the sea and dotted with yachts in the distance. Just a 2-minute walk down the street and you’re lounging on a chaise at the dock, soaking up even more views. It was peaceful, stylish, and absolutely dreamy. At nights we would drive into Porto Cervo as there was more of a nightlife there. But you can easily walk into the little town for drinks and dinner. Highly recommend — I’d go back in a heartbeat.

DislikedThe service was a little slow, which we have found while traveling in Italy. You ask for a drink at the pool or bar - and maybe you'll get it or maybe you won't! Wouldn't stop me from coming back. Already dreaming of next summer.

LikedThe location, the interior, pool area and breakfast

DislikedShowers in our suite were not working properly

LikedThe views from the hotel were stunning, and so was the landscaping across their premises. I recommend the sea view suite, it was highly worth it. Although it is a reasonably large hotel, it felt secluded and private and never crowded. The staff was very cordial and helpful and I highly recommend looking through their experiences offerings for special occasions.

DislikedThe access to the public beach nearby, albeit with a hotel deck, was not great (no upkeep, leftover bottles/ no staff / towel / facility). Although we appreciated the international staff, the hotel misses out on truly feeling Italian. (Coffee could also be brought up to Italian standards). The tennis facilities are great, but completely separate and a decent drive away from the hotel.

LikedLocation was perfect. Staff were very attentive. Pool was great. Everything was new.

Likedcomfiest bed i have ever slept in, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and lunch were amazing

DislikedSome pricing was OTT

LikedThe location , the friendliness of the staff.

DislikedReally not sure what the hotel was promoting itself as. Was it a luxury 5 star hotel or an upmarket beach bar with rooms. Why the hotel thought that having a DJ playing loud hard dance music at dinner was acceptable I do not know. It could have saved itself the cost of the DJ and played some Jazz or soft West-coast rock. Surely this would have been more suitable and encourage more people to dine in house .
