Cascioni Eco Retreat

LikedWe really loved everything about this place. The staff, the welcome, the property itself, the location, the food. Everything was better than we had hoped.

LikedBeautiful location and property. You’ll find yourself pausing often for views, and taking a lot of photos. Shoutout the front desk team, including Federica (apologies if we misheard you name) who was especially charming.

DislikedDining was a little disappointing. The quality of food is high, but the à la carte menu is limited, and you may not want a tasting menu every evening. Breakfast was especially poor: they didn’t appear to refresh any of the buffet items when we visited, but did leave empty plates out, so you’ll see a mostly picked over buffet if you arrive later on. Ugly. Wake up early, I guess! The curtains in our room were thin and let in light. Bring an eye mask if you like a darker room. The eco conceit is a little much at times - e.g. 5-star pricing but an unheated pool? I don’t think any hotel is net positive for the environment, so maybe just warm it up.

LikedA beautiful hotel with a genuinely warm welcome. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered check-in three hours early, and small but thoughtful touches, such as our luggage being in the room before we arrived, set the tone for the stay. Staff were generally courteous throughout. We stayed in two different rooms and both were lovely, though we found the Deluxe Room with Pool to be cozier and more charming than the Prestige Room with Pool, despite the latter carrying a higher price tag. Breakfast featured a small but lovely selection of traditional Sardinian treats, which we really appreciated. The food in the restaurant was genuinely delicious. Pricing across the board initially felt steep, but proved to be in line with the wider area, which is among the more expensive in Sardinia. An absolute highlight was dinner at La Colti, a farm to table experience with an affiliation to the hotel. The complementary shuttle service made it a seamlessly convenient evening. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to use the spa facilities but they looked stunning.

DislikedWe had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel. That said, given the price point and five-star status, a few small but easily fixable things fell short. No bar and pool service. We always had to approach reception to prompt someone to take our order. Turn-down service arrived on 3 out of 4 nights while we were still getting ready around 7 PM, despite the hotel's own restaurant not opening until 7:30 PM and the hotel knowing we had later dinner reservations. Staff also occasionally walked through our private garden while we were in the room. Finally, access to free drinking water was surprisingly limited. At this price point, bottles should be freely available throughout the stay and consistently replenished during turn-down service. All quite minor points and easy to fix — we hope the hotel takes them on board!

LikedGreat team who looked after us so well. The whole place has a sense of calm so you relax from the first moment until the last.

LikedA beautiful location

LikedPerfect oasis in north Sardinian hinterland. Convenient for coast and inland exploration. Well maintained and the heated pool an unexpected bonus.

LikedWonderful space, very well designed for a true retreat and rest. Great experience with the restaurant’s tasting menu.

DislikedFor the rates charged per night, in my opinion, it is unacceptable to hear the entire daily life of the neighbors in the next room. Poor sound insulation.

LikedBeautiful design and location with excellent staff and food. Relaxing atmosphere with extensive grounds to explore and beautiful views. Also worth taking advantage of the shuttle service to the sister restaurant Il Coti to experience local Sardinian food

DislikedIf you want to explore wider you need a car as taxis are extremely expensive (€60 for 5km journey)
