Moma Boutique Hotel

The hotel has a real nice panorama, it stands on a hill so views from balconies are just spectacular! So it has another side of the story - if you didn't rent a car it will be very boring to stay there just reading books and sunbathing near the pool (in my opinion). Sardegna is all about driving and roaming from one beach to another, visiting nuraghes just on the way (especially go to see several in Arzachena and rainbow stairs of Chiesa Di Santa Lucia), taking photos of numerous yachts that cost a fortune (we were lucky to see Madame Gu twice - in Porto Cervo, then in Porto Rotondo. Just a piece of art). The deluxe room is very spacious, high V-shape roof with wooden beams, bathroom equipment is in very good condition, very cozy terrace with armchairs and a table to eat fruit in the evening with amazing view on the mountains, stars, illuminated pool and rocks and trees. Absolutely tranquil. The hotel grounds are very well designed and kept nicely, look wonderful during the day and at night. Staff was extremely friendly, smiley and helpful. Mario from the restaurant is very attentive during breakfasts and dinners, Daniele at the reception is also very nice, gave us an awesome tip-off about a restaurant to have dinner - La Sciumara (www.ristorantelasciumara.it). We've been all across Italy for the last 10 years and believe me it's just THE BEST PIZZA in Italy. I know what I'm talking about. An egyptian guy with a bright smile who works there as pizzaiolo for 20 years makes an absolute perfection out of his craft. The oven is heated by firewood (!) Especially try their special pizza La Sciumara with philadelphia cheese and a home-made head-spinning millefeuille cream within a crunchy sticks. Incredible taste and serving!! Thank you, Daniele, for your recommendation! If you come to Palau, which is 20 min. drive from this location, you may have a wonderful trip on a ferryboat (carrying cars) to Maddalena and other islands.

The main disappointment was almost constant barking of dogs from a rescue center on the adjacent territory. Daniele at the reception told us it happens only in September when they start to train those stray dogs for hunting when the hunting season is coming up. It's not just distant sounds, it feels like they bark just under your balcony and it starts at 4-5 a.m. As an old English lady said to me 'You have to be deaf not to hear them' ;-D We noticed many times that bewildered expression on a face of almost every new guest saying "Is that a breakfast of a boutique hotel?.. Are you kidding?..' Well, to us cereals with milk and honey, slices of melon, a yoghurt and a coffee with a croissant were just enough. Unfortunately there was no laundry service or any access to a washing machine, so you should use a self-service laundry in town or use a sink in your room ;-) Beaches in Cannigione not far from the hotel are not so splendid as many others, especially Tanca Manna was a sham. Higly recommend you to visit Spiaggia Rena Bianca (white sand beach) and Ira beach in Porto Rotondo.

La ubicación esta muy bien para visitar la zona de la costa esmeralda y alrededores. Esta en un lugar tranquilo, creo que solo tienen 10 habitaciones, cerca de Cannigione que esta muy bien con buenos sitios para cenar si no te quieres desplazar lejos. El desayuno esta bien, lo ponen en la terraza si hace bueno y es muy agradable. Tienen también un restaurante al que viene gente de fuera, la carne esta muy bien.

La verdad es que en general estuvo muy bien la estancia pero tenían un problemilla que deberían solucionar con unas moscas de drenaje o agua que salían en el cuarto de baño. Por eso la nota de limpieza.

Cuenta con un buen restaurante sobre una excelente terraza con vistas, que permite que uno se relaje después de un día completo de recorridos y playas. No tuvieron problema para permitirnos utilizar los servicios de la pileta fuera del horario del checkout, lo que nos permitió aprovechar un día completo de playa.

Falta de mantenimiento en general con detalles en el baño, equipo de aire acondicionado y heladera que directamente no enfriaba. La puerta/ventana no cuenta con un blackout apropiado que impida el ingreso de luz considerando que amanece muy temprano en verano. Que no hubiera cafetera y agua de cortesía. (El precio de una botella en un supermercado es de menos de 20 centavos!!!)

El hotel en general, habitación, jardín, vistas, está muy bien y bien situado para recorrer la Costa Esmeralda

Siendo un hotel de 4 estrellas, la limpieza de la habitación podría mejorarse. Se limpia muy por encima
