Villa Selene  

Perched above Lanusei in Sardinia, about 3 km from the town center and 2,297 ft above sea level. Enjoy panoramic sea and countryside views and easy access to the beaches of Tortolì and Barisardo (roughly 12 miles).

A renovated property made up of four buildings set in large wooded parkland. Seventy-seven spacious rooms feature balconies or terraces, flat-screen TVs, air conditioning and refrigerators. Family-friendly and accessible, with an elevator and plenty of outdoor strolling space around a private hard-rock spring.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, tee off on mini-golf, or rally at the ping-pong tables. There’s a bar, playrooms for kids, free on-site parking, concierge service, dry cleaning and a safe-deposit box. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and relax in the park.

Start with a rich buffet breakfast—salami, cheese selection, bread, boiled eggs, fresh yogurt, crêpes, cream puffs and hot chocolate. An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine to round out long days of trekking or beach visits.
