Hotel Pitrizza, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Costa Smeralda

The service and beach are the headlines of this property!! As a preface -- I went with my husband in the shoulder season (October) right before the property closed for the winter, which I thought was lovely, but is helpful context. Beach: The access to a private beach and the water were truly marvelous. I loved being able to walk right out to the beach to chairs. I loved being able to see the beach from the restaurant. Room: The room and property overall were nice, but felt a little bit like they were built 18+ years ago. The bathroom especially felt 'old'. The floor / walls had cracks in them, and because they are casita style rooms (a few rooms in a single building) it was a bit weird. The bed was good, the minibar was ridiculously overpriced and I didnt like the snacks, Pool: We didn't use the pool bc it wasn't heated and it was too cold in October, but it also wasn't particularly appealing. Not the most 'luxury' part. Restaurants: In the primary dining building there is a breakfast restaurant + a fine dining restaurant out by the pool. Both were good. The highlight of the building however, was the more casual bar / game area. There were couches, backgammon and chess boards, and a full service menu from the bar. This was BY FAR my favorite meal of the trip! Highly recommend spending time in here if it rains or if its a more quiet time of year. Gym: They have outdoor treadmills that look out at the beach / ocean. Which was AMAZING Service overall: Really amazing service overall. Business center: There is a room with a computer and printer AND a community bookshelf, which I left a book on and took a book from! LOVE when hotels have this. Town: Worth going into town, but everything about this area is expensive. The taxis were expensive, the food was expensive, the shopping was expensive....so be prepared for that!

The last trip to Sardinia was my fourth visit to the island in the last 12 years. Porto Cervo is a destination chosen for being one of the most luxurious and prestigious locations in the Mediterranean coast. On the list of hotels we were supposed to visit were places like Cala di Volpe/ Romazzino A Belmond group hotel /7pines a Destination by Hyatt. In the past we have stayed at the Cala di Volpe hotel, this time we also did a review of the resort: 7pines a desination by hyatt. After visiting the Pitrizza hotel I can honestly say that it is a place that goes beyond European standards. Hotel location: The hotel is located 2.5 km from the main port in Porto Cervo. The property occupies a huge area with a beautiful private beach and a small marina for motorboats and potential guests who want to dock using a tender and sleep on a private yacht. Hotel design: Nothing to add, nothing to subtract - the hotel is made in the style of other prestigious properties in the Costa Smeralda area and is a combination of modernity and Mediterranean style. Comparing the quality of workmanship to e.g. 7pines resort and desitnation by Hyatt, we immediately see the highest quality of workmanship with real wood/stone - there is no feeling of cheapness and currently ubiquitous plastic and fakes. Hotels in places such as Mykonos or Marbella are also far behind. Accommodation: We have a choice of spacious apartments located in a very discreet way as well as luxurious and prestigious villas that provide maximum comfort and privacy. The villas are equipped with their own swimming pools integrated into the surroundings, which gives the impression of even greater sophistication and luxury. Service: European standards differ significantly from places such as the Maldives/Seychelles or top locations in Asia. In high-end resorts you always feel exceptional. At the Pitrizza hotel, for the first time in Europe, we felt like we were in a completely different part of the world. The service at this hotel is totally top of the notch. From opening the car door to taking you to your private villa using an exclusive buggy (we have never seen such club-car models anywhere). Restaurant: The exceptional level of service and atmosphere began at the abundant breakfast buffet. The restaurant service is very nice and has an amazing approach to guests. The views from the restaurant and its terrace are breathtaking. Summary: Comparing this hotel to the ultra-luxurious Belmond and Cala di Volpe, I have no doubt that this is something completely unique that exceeds the understanding of those traveling in Europe. A big thank you to the entire front desk team as well as manager Anna Sobueva for the hospitality and professional service

My wife and I travel a lot. Visiting nice places. Yet very very rarely we see a place, which is perfect. But hotel Pitrizza is such a place. Perfectly run place, with very attentive yet not at all intrusive staff - from the reception, restaurants, gym and beach service, room service and concierge. The place itself and its location were also fantastic. Best equipment everywhere. Fantastic and very private beach. I red the Google reviews about of the restaurant and we were surprised about some of the low ratings and comments. We very much disagree. The food was Michelin-star grade and the service also. Yes, priced accordingly. But the experience from every visit and every meal was great. If you like perfection and quality, this is the place to go. Jan (Prague)

The beach, the personnel, the food were all very good, we particularly liked the fact that this hotel doesn't harass its guests with music at the beach which became unfortunately common these days.

Excelent hotel & beach. Outstanding service, specially the restaurant and beach service. Great sleeping blackout.
