We had a great time here, worth every penny. The room is comfortable, the staff is kind and the views of the surrounding hills and mountains are incredible. The breakfast is one of the best we had in a hotel. We really appreciated the time spent at the pool, very chill and quiet. The experience at the hotel is impeccable.

I would be cautious about booking a sailing trip through the hotel. I would expect a hotel like Arathena to vet their partners better. Avoid booking a day trip on a vela d'epoca to Maddalena islands. We stopped at only 2 mediocre beaches on San Stefano and Caprera, the third stop that was supposed to be on Isola Porco didn't happen because the boat is too deep and cannot dock in shallow waters. The open bar was a cooler with a few bottles of water and a 3 day open cola. The hotel told us the trip would be 7-8h but we were back after around 5h. It was an unfortunate rip off.

Beautiful location - the local town of San Pantaleo was our favourite place we saw in Sardinia, great for bars, buzzy evenings, warm and safe atmosphere, kind people, quaint and pretty roads, mountainous backdrops in all directions. It’s worth highlighting the restaurant. You need to book the day prior and it is pricey, but it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had together. A really special treat to top off your holiday. We had everything we needed and hoped for from the hotel - amazing food, peaceful poolside, lovely room & view from the balcony, kind staff 24/7. It was a serene, beautiful getaway.

Quiet hotel in a sleepy little town. Staff were very helpful and accommodating, they all spoke perfect english. Short walk to town center from the hotel. Clean and comfortable. Very organised.

Could do with some quiet music or background noise at the pool. Hotel is quite secluded other than San Panteleo which is up in the mpuntains. We recommend hiring a car if you wish to explore the rest of the island. Parking situation at the hotel could be a bit clearer.

Very authentic old fashioned hotel in a fantastic location - a five minute walk to the centre of San Pantaleo. Very clean. Staff v helpful. Our room was lovely with a balcony overlooking the pool . Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice .

Some of the rooms had v poor outside seating - almost in a corridor. The restaurant which is not owned by the hotel really lets it down . It serves almost only steak and some very unappetising expensive meat based starters . We ate there once and that was enough as there is only so much steak you can eat . Every night almost all of the guests go into town to eat or get takeaways . This means that the bar is almost always deserted . Such a shame as the hotel is lovely.

Location in the mountains was beautiful and the design was incredible. Pool area was beautiful. Terrace for breakfast was lovely. Staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough. Rooms were gorgeous with amazing bathrooms

Not a dealbreaker but the pictures of the terrace on booking need updating as it is now covered and looks VERY different. The restaurant is not owned by the hotel and is very expensive as well as having a very limited steak based menu.

We loved how welcoming and friendly the staff were! The rooms were spacious and very clean which we appreciated too. Breakfast on offer was the best we’ve had in any hotel so far, they were super accommodating to a number of different allergens - a highlight for us was the multiple gluten free options that differed each day. Would definitely return and recommend this hotel for anyone looking to visit San Pantaleo!

Very good but they charge to rent beach towels, also they treat us very bad to leave the room at 12pm which it takes 1 hour to clean. Check in is at 3pm. They should be a bit less rude the receptionist. Only the staff in the breakfast were perfect

Only the Receptionist was horrible RUDE 👎

Beautiful location, lovely hotel and pool and the staff were fantastic. The breakfast was really good, lots of choice and very fresh. The apertivo in the afternoons by the pool was lovely. The aircon in the room worked well and the slippers for the wearing on the tiled floors was a nice touch. We booked one of their suggested boat excursions and we were so glad they recommended it, absolutely fabulous day. We would definitely come back.

Shame the restaurant was shut when we were there. When we visited 4 years ago it was the highlight of the trip, hopefully it will open again. The beds were were very hard, slept well but was a bit sore after a week (and we like a firm mattress).

The hotel is located in San Pantaleo city. One of the most charming cities I have ever visited. The hotel spotless clean at all times. Beautiful architecture and staff that is always extremely friendly and professional. Some people complain about the concept of paying 5euros for the beach towel. I absolutely loved it! It makes you to keep one towel for your entire stay which saves so much water! Because honestly, there is nothing wrong with the towel if you just using it for pool or beach. We had a beautiful room with spectacular view. The breakfast was really good, completely aligned with 4star hotel and the price for the hotel. The pool is just amazing! Absolutely stunning! We felt so relaxed and recharged! Will definitely stay again next time! Thank you Arathena!

The only thing I can think of is some hooks for the towel in the bathroom. I struggled to find a place where to place the wet towel. Also having an option where I want to keep using my towel or to be changed for environmental purposes.

We have just returned from the most beautiful stay at Hotel Arathena. We couldn’t have wished for more from the hotel. The staff went above and beyond to look after us and meet our needs. The hotel is spotless and so well looked after. The location is perfect a 1 minute walk from San Pantaleo centre. Highly recommend!
