Hotel Cala di Volpe, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Costa Smeralda

LikedOur stay at Cala di Volpe was simply a dream. From the beautiful setting and charming accommodation to the delicious food, everything was wonderful. What made our stay truly special was the incredibly warm, friendly and charming Italian hospitality. The staff were genuinely lovely and made us feel welcome from the very first moment. We absolutely loved the gigantic seawater pool — the most spectacular we have ever seen — as well as the private beach, which could be reached by the hotel’s wonderful boat service. We left completely happy, deeply relaxed and already dreaming of coming back. A truly magical place — and hopefully not our last time at Cala di Volpe!

LikedA stunning setting overlooking an area of outstanding beauty - sea, coast and islands. The hotel is smartly designed with seafront dining and facilities. A sophisticated and luxurious place to stay.

DislikedThe prices are high, but hotel residents get a special rate for dinner in the Grand restaurant. It actually works out to be really good value as the food and choice are amazing.

LikedThe staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful as well as very professional in their jobs. The design of the hotel is very interesting. I would say among all the hotels I stayed in, this room/ bathroom I liked the most. It is a combination of retro with luxury with modern comfort and fantasy. Trip by boat to the private beach is awesome. Food was good.

DislikedAlcohol should be less pricy …

LikedFantastic place, something special.

DislikedAlthough we knew and accepted by booking that a beautiful room in this fantastic hotel is expensive, the price level for drinks and food is crazy. We are not filthy rich, but from time to time we still spend a little extra for a great hotel. However, we have never before experienced a general price level like this in any other top class resort in their restaurants and bars, and we have been to quite a few during the years. 18 euros for two cups of coffee, 70 euros for two drinks in the bar, and not possible to have dinner and share a bottle of decent wine for less than 200 euros pp. Indirectly, we almost felt "if you´re not very rich, we do not want you here". We talked to other guests who felt exactly the same and they went elsewhere to eat. This is a shame and probably not necessary in order to run the hotel with the same profits. If you have a few more choices and make it just a litte more affordable most people would stay, eat and drink more in the hotel. You would probably also get more people with a little more different backgrounds as guests, which also might be good. If you don´t agree, that is fine, but you should at least then publish your menus and price lists clearly on your web site, so people know in advance. Other than that, fantastic place and very nice people working there (not their fault the prices are so high).
