Hotel 3 Botti, Arzachena

This impressive four-star hotel in Sardinia's Sassari province is set amid a luxuriant Mediterranean landscape of rosemary, juniper and geranium in the midst of the rugged granite landscape that borders the unspoilt Gulf of Arzachena with spectacular views over the clear blue waters. The popular resort of Porto Cervo is just four kilometres away and the lovely beach of Porto Sole lies around 300 metres away. The proprietor, Zio Battista, began as a restaurateur during the early seventies and now runs Hotel Tre Botti with the help of his family. Guests can look forward to a warm, enthusiastic welcome and excellent standards of comfort and service.

There are 62 spacious, en-suite rooms here, all with comfortable furnishings as well as satellite television, direct-dial telephone, a personal safe and a well-stocked minibar. Downstairs, the hotel has a relaxing sitting lounge and TV room, a welcoming American-style bar and an excellent restaurant with a lovely panoramic terrace serving a menu of traditional local Galluresi dishes and classic Italian cooking accompanied by a wide choice of the very best Sardinian wines. The hotel is comfortably air conditioned throughout and guests are offered a delicious buffet breakfast in the morning.

There is a lovely open-air swimming pool at the nearby Hotel Villa Gemella, which guests are free to use.
