The staff here was amazing all the girls at the fornt desk made us feel so welcomed. The property is amazing and we could have spent days just enjoying that!

Very recommendable, fantastic stay!

All fantastic: wonderful location with very nice, private sandy beach, pool, tennis court and view plus super friendly & helpful staff. Hotel room modern in Italian style house. Breakfast, lunch and Sardinian typical tasting menu very tasty. The best hotel during our one week stay in Sardinia. The only feedback: maybe you can re- do the tennis court, since the ground is not even anymore.
Julia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful place with an old school, retro vibe. The front desk staff and everyone else we encountered was very helpful. Beach was great, as was the pool. We didn’t have dinner there so can’t comment on that but breakfast had a huge variety and the pool bar was a nice amenity and not terribly expensive. The property feels like a true resort but is not sprawling or impersonal. We would definitely return.

First of all, the sorrounding views of this hotel is simply stunning. I don't know how many photos I actually took! The beach and pool area are just gorgeous. The decor of inside the hotel is also classical and elegant. The restaurant area just perfect. The staff are all so nice ane helpful. Always happy to greet you. The garden room is cute but please note it is a couple of minutes walk to reception/pool area. We were happy to walk though! The bed is definitely comfy. There is just a few minor recommendations to improve the facilities of the room. The bathroom window is open to the road but brings in dust to the bathroom, the air con unit is old and needs to be updated but works fine. There should be a soap dispenser rather than soap and also a drying rack for clothes. We were very happy with our stay though! Such a beautiful hotel!

Beautiful hotel, staff not so friendly

This hotel is absolutely stunning and the view of Tavolara Island is perfection! My only complaint is the staff. We were celebrating our 11 year wedding anniversary this day and asked if we could have the possibility of a room upgrade. No, hotel was full and that’s fine! My husband then asked if there was the possibility of anything to celebrate with such as a bottle of champagne, wine or dessert. All they said was “no”. We travel every year on our wedding anniversary and we have never been treated so cold. If they couldn’t give us anything, then so be it. A smile and a Happy Anniversary would have been nice :) No early check-in was allowed. We couldn’t have a window seat at dinner because they were “reserved” (we also had a reservation). Staff (or perhaps just policies) just doesn’t seem flexible. Absolutely lovely hotel and we would recommend! Just don’t expect wonderful treatment.

Location that can’t be beat!

Fabulous location, and amenities. The private beach is spectacular. The hotel is dated but unique and charming. Our only issue was that a friend who was staying nearbyvisited us and the hotel staff refused to serve him coffee and was rude to him and us.

Tolles Hotel in perfekter Lage

Das Hotel Don Diego ist wunderbar gelegen, man hat einen tollen Blick auf das Meer. Das Hotel verfügt über einen Privatstrand incl. kostenloser Liegen und Schirme. Der Strand ermöglich einen angenehmen Zugang ins Meer (keine Steine am Boden). Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, das Frühstück wunderbar. Parkplätze gibt es in der unmittelbaren Nähe, man findet eigentlich immer einen Stellplatz. Restaurants gibt es leider nicht fußläufig, man fährt mit dem Auto immer min. 10-15 Minuten. Alternativ kann man aber auch im Hotel zu Abend essen. Beim nächsten Besuch auf Sardinien kommen wir ganz bestimmt wieder hierher.

The staff were amazing. Incredibly helpful. The grounds are stunning. Rooms are spacious and air conditioned. 80 euro taxi from the airport. 50 to city center. Beach is beautiful. Restaurant menu is extremely limited. I found i kept getting lost trying to find my room. Peaceful. Great views.

Absolutely incredible hotel! I stayed there for a week early June 2025 with my daughter on a half-board with dinner arrangement. The food is incredible. Breakfast in the buffet with an enormous variety. Three course meals for dinner. All the amenities of the hotel are great, the beach is perfect and the overall ambiance is outstanding. We surely enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

Schönes Frühstück mit frisch gepresstem Orangensaft, Meerblickzimmer hat sich für uns nicht gelohnt, weil das Wetter für die Terrasse leider nicht mitgespielt hat. Mücken vorhanden. Es gibt gratis Kajaks zum Ausleihen und umliegende Strände zu erkunden - mein Highlight. Für Entspannungsurlaub ganz gut. Für die Insel ist ein Mietwagen sinnvoll.

Estadia muito agradável. Fiquei hospedado na suite junior em regime de meia pensão. Quarto com uma vista fantástica sobre o mar. Funcionários muito simpáticos e prestáveis. Hotel com muito boas condições para um hotel de 4 estrelas. A localização é muito boa, perto das melhores praias de Sardenha. Pequeno almoço excelente e variado.
