Hotel Pitrizza

We stayed here for 4 nights in a premium room and we still had a decent view from our room. We had a small patio with lounge chairs in the back. We loved that we were welcomed with sparkling wine, such a nice treat! Our closet was very spacious,the bathroom was spacious with double vanity, bathtub, etc. We were pleased to get turned down service every night. The breakfast buffet was fabulous, so many choices. The beach was a bit grainy but swimmable. Not a bad spot to lay down by the pool or the beach. The lunch was fantastic as well. I had an amazing massage at the spa, which by the way it is quite small. The gyms is a good size for this place, with half of the workout machines outside and some inside. This place it is a short drive to Porto Cervo, which is where you might want to go to dine and shop. I do agree with some reviewers about the fact that this property needs some upkeep and renovations in general.

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)

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

Great past: The Pitrizza is one of the grande dames of the Costa Smeralda. Built in the 1960s by the late Prince Aga Khan, it was ahead of its time in sustainable design concepts. Its various buildings, constructed from natural local materials, blend harmoniously with the beautiful rocky coastline and the emerald sea. The rooms are dated, both in amenities and design, creating a retro atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era—almost like searching for lost time. With its intimate size of 65 rooms and suites, it could easily be a 5-star luxury retreat. Mixed present: Just as a successful company cannot thrive on outdated products, a hotel with a great past must continuously reinvent itself and perfect its service. This is exactly where today’s Pitrizza falls short, delivering a mixed experience. The general manager was either not present or disengaged, and you could feel the absence of a guiding spirit. Many of the original, skilled staff have been replaced by less qualified personnel, leaving the team overwhelmed and, at times, helpless. The quality of the food—one of the main reasons to vacation in Italy—was inconsistent, especially considering the extremely high prices. Promising future? We learned that a new proprietor is set to take over next year, which is an urgently needed step to reverse the decline we witnessed during our stay. Good luck, Pitrizza!

One of the best hotels I’ve ever been, by far the best one in Sardinia. It’s a property with a unique and genuine Sardinian soul combined with real 5 star quality well above typical italian standards. Facilities, service, staff and location are outstanding.

This is a standout hotel for everything. If you are planning to spend time and money in Costa Smeralda (nothing here is cheap!), then this is the best place to do so. Nothing disappoints and nowhere else compares to this hotel for its management, location, service, hotel layout, rooms, restaurant food and quality. The staff are all amazing and go out of their way to sincerely deliver a true Sardinian holiday.
