Hotel Balocco, Porto Cervo

Hotel Balocco is a small, peaceful hotel set back slightly from the beautiful panoramic road which runs along Sardinia's prestigious Costa Smeralda. The hotel overlooks the lively harbour of Porto Cervo with its fabulous yachts and motor cruisers and just a couple of hundred metres away is the famous square commissioned by Prince Karim, the Aga Khan. Long, sandy beaches reach down to an emerald-green sea bringing film stars and sports personalities from all round the world to bask in the glorious Sardinian sunshine.

There are 34 attractively furnished, spacious rooms, many with balconies and gorgeous views out over the harbour and each with private en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, direct-dial phone line, cable/satellite TV and in-room safe. Guests with young children can request a cot or crib and there's a babysitting service.

The hotel has a relaxing lounge/bar where guests can get together over a drink, and there's a fabulous pool plus an outdoor play area for children in the tranquil gardens. Not far away from the hotel is a good equestrian centre, where visitors can explore this part of the island on horseback; there is also the famous Il Pevero golf course.

As well as 24-hour service on reception, there is a currency exchange plus a safety-deposit and left-luggage facility. Professional, efficient staff are on hand to help with every aspect of your holiday, offering information and advice on all that Sardinia has to offer.
