Hotel Castello di Tavolara

On Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda in Loiri Porto San Paolo, steps from the port and a short drive to sandy beaches and the Tavolara Marine Protected Area. This golf-front hotel sits close to Porto San Paolo Beach, Cala Brandinchi and Porto Taverna, and is about 13 km from Costa Smeralda (OLB) — pet-friendly and perfect for seaside escapes.

About two dozen rooms blend modern comfort with Sardinian touches. Rooms feature refrigerators, flat-screen TVs and minibars, Egyptian cotton sheets and down comforters, and some offer jacuzzi baths or terraces with sea-air views. Accessible facilities, elevators and family-friendly rooms make the place easy to enjoy.

Play a round on the onsite 9-hole course, rent bikes or mountain bikes, or dive and fish off the nearby coast. Spa-style onsite massages, a terrace, a library and a children’s playroom round out recreation. Shuttle service (surcharge) links you to the airport, ferry and beaches — and yes, wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

There’s a business center, express check-in and concierge services, plus complimentary wireless internet and lobby newspapers. Dry cleaning, laundry and parking are available to keep your trip efficient.

An onsite restaurant and coffee shop serve breakfast and all-day bites, with a complimentary continental breakfast each morning (served around 7:30–10:00). Hit the bar/lounge for drinks or order 24-hour room service; menus lean into Sardinian-inspired, regional flavors.
