Romazzino, A Belmond Hotel, Costa Smeralda

LikedOur stay at Belmond Romazzino in Sardinia was truly exceptional and exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Check-in was seamless, and we were treated to a wonderful tour of the hotel. A special thank you goes to Christie Alvarez, who greeted us so warmly and was exceptionally attentive throughout our entire stay. Her genuine care, professionalism, and attention to detail made our experience even more memorable. Our room was simply breathtaking. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered, and the level of luxury and care truly touched us. It felt incredibly special, and we are already planning our next stay. The food deserves a special mention as well. Every restaurant we visited was outstanding—easily a 10/10. The quality of the cuisine, presentation, and service was consistently exceptional. Finally, I would like to thank every member of the Romazzino team. Every single person we encountered was kind, welcoming, professional, and always willing to help. It is the people, together with the stunning property, that make Belmond Romazzino such an unforgettable place. We cannot wait to return. Highly recommended.

DislikedEverything was absolutely wonderful

LikedWe haven´t stayed here since the 80's, retried it while in transfer from a boat excursion and were joyfully overwhelmed. The friendlyness of the staff, the overall service-philosophy, the renovated layout and interior, pools and beach, the gym, food and breakfast - amazing!

DislikedHousekeeping in the corridor was rather noisy from 07:00 am onwards

LikedThe staff working at the hotel are friendly, charming and professional Very relaxing and well designed flow of space from the hotel to the garden, the pools, the beach restaurant and finally to the beach. The beach itself is really charming and the beach club has very comfy chairs and is well managed by JP and his team. The gym has been upgraded and has all you need for a proper workout including a full rack with a 20kg bar, a dual pulley and leg extension and leg curl machines - whoever designed it really knew what they were doing.

DislikedThe central reservations of the Belmond group are awful and know nothing at all about the hotel.Make sure you book directly with the hotel. The hotel rooms were last refurbished about 30-40 years ago and feel very dated especially given the room rates you’re paying. No place to plug in a phone charger by the bed, 1970s black plastic light switches, pebble dash walls etc etc Also the sound proofing between the rooms is quite poor. We had a manic nanny next door to us who seemed to be doing her best to keep her kids awake until past midnight every night by jumping on the bed etc only to be outdone by super dad who would occasionally drop in around 1am to tell his kids they were having a blast in an incredibly loud way. The point is we shouldn’t have been able to hear any of that ! The quality of the rooms is also very mixed with some rooms that are very musty and are basically basement level and some that are very close to the reception. We know because we had an awful one on the first night.

LikedThe location, staff and facilities. The bedroom was spacious and the bed amazing. The breakfast offering was very good

DislikedThe bathroom mirror steamed up for an hour post shower. The phone didn’t give the number of reception or concierge. The breakfast my wife described as a circus- too many staff- so slow unpredictable service. 20 minutes and 3 separate deliveries for scrambled egg and salmon on toast! 4 attempts to give two people a pot of English breakfast tea each. Everyone you spoke to said the pricing was ludicrous’ - €200 for buffet lunch as an example.

LikedEverything. The hotel is perfect, amazing place, one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia, excellent staff, extremely comfortable rooms. Everything was perfect, we hope to come back!

LikedPerfection

LikedThe garden

DislikedThe food is the worst I’ve ever had at a hotel in Italy. It is ridiculously overpriced. I was also charged twice for the boat I rented at checkout — how is that even possible with two receptionists handling my checkout together? Overall, the hotel is not worth the money. It’s simply not at the level you’d expect for the price they charge

LikedWaiting time too long

DislikedAdditional amenities at no charge
