"This is definitely not a 4 star hotel! The outside looks terrible, so old, paint is peeling off, looks unattractive and unattended. The hotel is called Cormoran or something like that, it was hard to locate, we had to go in and ask at the front desk. The room is so small, fits a queen bed and a twin with a nightstand room in between in each direction, does not have a mini fridge, the A/C wasn’t working, we had to sleep with our windows open, which faced the street and it was very loud from...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Porto Istana?
The best area to stay in Porto Istana is directly within Porto Istana itself, as it's a small, focused beach community.

Porto Istana is essentially centred around its beautiful white-sand beach, known for its clear, shallow waters and views of Tavolara Island. The area is quite compact, with accommodation options, a few restaurants, and beach services all within a short walk of the coastline. You'll find a mix of villas, holiday homes, and a couple of hotels tucked away just behind the main beach access points.

This area is particularly good for families due to the nature of the beach. The water is incredibly calm and shallow for a considerable distance, making it ideal for children to play in. There are also facilities for renting sun loungers and parasols, and often paddle boats or kayaks, providing easy entertainment right on your doorstep.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will also appreciate Porto Istana. It offers a tranquil escape with stunning scenery and convenient access to the beach.
When is the best time to go to Porto Istana?
