Hotel Ispinigoli

Out in rural Dorgali, steps from the dramatic Ispinigoli Caves and a short drive to Cala Cartoe Beach and the Gulf of Orosei. This family-friendly, pet-friendly hotel makes a handy base for exploring nearby museums, beaches and the Cedrino lake area.

Small and stylish with 24 air-conditioned rooms, simple modern furnishings, flat-screen TVs and in-room safes. Rooms have private showers with complimentary toiletries and bidets, and the property features a terrace, garden and sun terrace for slow evenings after a day of exploring.

Keep fit in the on-site fitness center, rent bicycles to scout local trails or book diving and tours from the desk. There’s a picnic area and a massage room for downtime, plus free self-parking and an airport shuttle available for a surcharge — wake up near cave-side mornings and island breezes.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected throughout the property. The front desk offers luggage storage and a safe-deposit box, and limited staffed hours are noted at check-in.

An on-site restaurant serves lunch and dinner, a bar/lounge pours drinks, and room service is available. Guests are treated to a complimentary buffet breakfast each morning to kick off island adventures.
