Beautiful family owned hotel right by a nice beach. The hotel staff is super helpful with organizing taxi or a boat tour, making reservations, etc. The bus stop to Olbia is right by the hotel entrance and a small grocery store in walking distance. The breakfast buffet was very good as well. I will be back.

Every staff member that we met was amazing. The atmosphere of the hotel is like family. My dinner at Nino's was the best we had during our two trip around Italy. Quick walk to the beach, lovely clean pool .... the breakfast buffet was the very best I've ever come across! Delicious homemade items. We will for sure be back!

Stayed 4 night in the middle of September. Property and service were great. Amazing food at hotel restaurant. Property is a couple of minutes from the beach. The ocean view that property offers is amazing. The area where hotel sits doesn’t offer much but the beach and about 4 restaurant options. However, bus service to olbia is across the street. Hotel would also help reserving taxi services if needed.

The staff was really friendly, the property was clean all around and we felt safe at the property. However, the pool is small, I was let to believe that we would have barbecue by the pool but it never happened, and our bathroom was always blocked, all 4 pieces.

Great location on the beach
Wonderful location next to the beach and with private beach area for hotel guests. There were also several great beach restaurants for lunch and dinner. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they had a very nice breakfast service. The hotel did a great job managing their service during COVID - we felt safe during our stay. The hotel is also located next to a bus stop which takes you to Olbia in just 15-20 minutes. The hotel property itself is a bit outdated and needs a little facelift but this factor was more than offset by it's great location and friendly staff.

Friendly hotel
Lovely hotel, great location just moments from the beach. Breakfast was lovely. The bed could have been comfier but it was fine. My advise bring a towel if your only the for bed and breakfast or you'll be paying for a sunbed at the cost of €25 per day.... Some lovely restaurants around, if you want pizza definitely try Al Volo!

Fabulous hotel and restaurant close to beach. Fabulous proprietors with a fantastic team of loyal hardworking staff. Our second time here and will definitely return as it ticks all the boxes for a relaxing holiday in such a beautiful place. Everything was fab no complaints at all. What more can you ask for fab accommodation, fab food, friendly staff, beautiful beach, sunshine, Aperol Spritzers and only 15 mins from Olbia Airport. Looking at booking for next year already.

Fantastic beach location
Hotel Stephania is ideally located on the most picturesque beach. It is a long way out of town, but a local bus runs right past the hotel, and costs only €1.50. There is a transfer service available but it is not cheap & the taxis cost even more. There are a few restaurants/ pizzarias in Pittalongue, but other than one supermarket, there are no other shops. If you like bars & window/ souvenir shopping then head into Olbia. The reception staff are helpful, the rooms are dated but clean. The restaurant is limited in choice & more expensive than elsewhere. Beach towels & sun beds are available for a fee, even on the reserved area for the hotel, but the charges vary according to your booking status (B&B full board etc). The pool and garden area is lovely. Tours are available to book through the hotel, and you really get the personal touch as the tour groups are very small (maximum of 8 people on the Tavorlora island boat trip). Would recommend car hire.

Nice little hotel a short walk from the beach
Hotel Stefania is set in a very quiet area only 15 minutes from Olbia airport which is very convenient after you've picked up a rental car. The village in which the hotel is set is small with only around 5 other restaurants to choose from. The hotel is set within nice grounds with a small pool and jacuzzi. The staff were amazing, always helpful, always accommodating with special thanks to Marco on reception. The breakfast was relatively limited but nice with great views out to the sea and the sunrise. We didn't eat in the restaurant at night as we wanted to explore the coast looking outside of our area. The only improvements I would suggest needing is tidying up the aesthetics of the hotel where it was looking a little old in area i.e. worn paint work, older looking furniture building material left in the car park. There's also a lot of refugees on the beach (2 per to every beach goer!) which became irritating to be sold to every 60 seconds but this was apparent on most easily accessed beaches we visited. Pros : - Great beach with free beach sun loungers only 1 minute walk away (no need for expensive parking!!) - Mama Beach restaurant - One of the best beach bars on the island - Inexpensive area - the restaurants further north charge €9 for an orange juice! - Easy access from Olbia airport Cons : - Hotel needs a little modernisation in parts - Too many refugees constantly trying to sell you towels or plastic toys on the beach (not the hotel's fault however)

Pretty hotel by the beach
Our second holiday to Sardinia, this time we hired a car, so had freedom to sightsee. Well worth doing because it's such a pretty island & so many places to visit, & really diverse. Pittulongu beach is lovely, a long stretch of sand, and clear blue sea. There are 3 good restaurants on the beach too, you can even have take away pizza.

Granny look
It might have the services of a 4-star and although the staff is helptul - mind you they did not bother asking at check-out whether we enjoyed our stay or not (maybe not this important!). My biggest disappointment was that for a 4-star, you would have expected that it keeps up with time and still not be holding sofas from the 80-90s, old style rug, even have fake flowers in the foyer. It certainly needs to be re-decorated to be considered as a proper 4-star. Also very annoying, internet or wi-fi only accessible from the lobby. Otherwise great location, 2 mins walk from the beach.

TERRIFIC STAFF
We read reviews on Trip Advisor which slightly concerned us. But, when we stayed at Hotel Stefania, we felt most of these were unjust. True, the hotel is in a quiet situation but it isn't inaccessible. It is a low-rise, attractive beach hotel with reasonable transport links and ideal for anyone who has hired a car (plenty of parking). It's only 10 minutes drive from the airport. We loved the well-stocked gardens, the comfortable accommodation, and general cleanliness and can't praise all the - mainly multi-lingual - staff highly enough. The guests come from all parts of the world - Europe, Australia, USA and South America, which was interesting. Although the breakfast is dubbed 'continental' there is plenty of choice - although no toast. I'm sure it would be available on request, as is a full cooked breakfast, which my husband ordered one day. The breakfast room overlooks the pool and beach, and lunch is available there, too. My one criticism is the smart restaurant where dinner is served. Everything looks great & the waiters are highly professional - but I hated the food, both on the daily menu and on the a la carte menu. On several nights, there was nothing at all that I liked and I dined on omelettes and tomato salads (which were fine but boring). If restaurant dinners improve, then I really think that Hotekl Stefania would be hard to beat.

Lovely Quite Hotel Beautiful Surroundings
Lovely place, Italian 4star, so clean but basic. Lovely restaurant attached to the hotel would definitely recommend the half board option. We stayed 3 nights got a scooter and travelled round. Couple of minutes walk to beach with a couple of beach bars/restaurants. Went in June beautifully hot would recommend for a quiet basic stay.

Katastrophe!! Bloß nicht
Hotel ist maximal absolut in die Jahre gekommen. Zimmer sind extrem hellhörig. Preis/Leistung stimmt gar nicht. Viel zu teuer für das was man geboten bekommt. Das angepriesene Michelin Restaurant ist auch nicht zu empfehlen. Essen war nicht lecker und lieblos angerichtet. Und auch hier viel zu teuer für die Qualität und den Service

Flott utgangspunkt
Etter å ha vært 5 dager på Sardinia sjekket vi inn på Stefania hotell, i resepsjonen møtte vi Mona som gav oss alt vi trengte av informasjon om hotellet. Vi ble også oppgradert og bodde i en tilstøtende bygning til hotellet. Det var kjempebra, det hadde kjøleskap og en liten balkong pluss en hage med solstoler etc. Senga var så som så, men liker man det litt hardt fungerer det. Frokost var inkludert, den var veldig innholdsrik. Det eneste var kaffemaskin som dessverre kanskje ikke hadde den beste kaffen. Tipper man kunne kjøpe en god kopp kaffe i baren på hotellet.. Det var også kort vei til stranda med flere små spisesteder. Restauranten på hotellet rakk vi dessverre ikke teste. Alt i alt var det kjempebra. Anbefaler å leie bil for å utforske mest mulig omkringliggende strender, små byer, samt Olbia.

Un cadre très agréable
Hôtel proche de la plage, bâtiments étalés dans un joli jardin, avec vue sur la mer au loin. Très belle terrasse pour le petit-déjeuner qui est très copieux. Bon restaurant dans une salle agréable. Mais des détails qui font que la chambre ne correspond pas à un quatre étoiles : mobilier de base, éraflure dans la peinture sur les murs et les meubles, salle de bain vieillote, rien pour étendre ses serviettes de plage…
