Hotel Relais Valkarana

On the shores of Lago del Liscia in Sant'Antonio di Gallura, this country hotel sits among olive groves and oak trees a short drive from Costa Smeralda/Porto Cervo. Minutes from the town center and next to a golf course, it's family-friendly and lakefront. Nearby archaeological sites include Li Lolghi and Coddu Vecchiu; Costa Smeralda Airport (OLB) is about 37.5 km away.

A restored Gallura farmhouse vibe—hand-crafted granite, a historic 'stazzo' and wide verandas. The intimate property has around 18 guestrooms with private patios, minibars, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms (showers and bidets). Expect a rustic-meets-modern atmosphere and panoramic views from the porches.

Two outdoor swimming pools (including a children’s area), private access to the lake, a garden and a poolside solarium. On-site extras include a bar, library, BBQ area, massage room, bicycles to rent, parking and concierge/tour assistance. Wake up to lake-mist mornings and choose freshwater dips instead of the sea.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet (high-speed) across the property, express check-in and multilingual staff. Luggage storage and an airport shuttle (roundtrip available for a surcharge) help keep logistics smooth.

Ristorante Valkarana focuses on regional Sardinian cuisine with set menus and à la carte choices served on large verandas with panoramic views. There’s a coffee shop/cafe, a bar/lounge and a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 7:30–9:30; limited room service is also available.
