Hotel Capo d'Orso, Palau, Sassari, Sardinia

Hotel Capo d'Orso, Palau

Hotel Capo d'Orso sits within a 10-hectare estate in Gallura, surrounded by wild olive trees and beaches, on the northern coast of Sardinia. The hotel is 4km out of Palau and 40km north of Olbia. This beautifully green region of Sardinia (in medieval times it was one of the four 'giudicati' that ruled Sardinia) has the lovely Costa Smeralda coastline and a confusion of little islands offshore, collectively making up the Parco Nazionale dell'Archipelago di La Maddalena. As well as the ferries that run from Palau out to Genoa, there are boat trips around the numerous islands and islets, many of them uninhabited. The coast itself has lovely secluded bays and beaches, and dramatically rocky outcrops.

This Gallura hotel has its own little harbour, from which there are daily excursions out to La Maddalena archipelago and to the Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast). The keynote of this accommodation is elegance and simplicity, with soft colours and modern furnishings. The air conditioned rooms all have a balcony or a veranda. The Capo d'Orso has an outdoor swimming pool and its own beach, supervised activities for the kids and a choice of restaurants.

And you can relax at the thalassotherapy (seawater therapy) and spa centre. The hotel has three multipurpose pools filled with seawater heated to varying temperatures. There are ten state of the art thalasso-cabins for full immersion, beauty treatments, massages and a Turkish bath. We challenge you not to emerge heated, chilled and relaxed.

Rooms at this Sardinian hotel are doubles or suites. All have minibar and bathroom, phone, air conditioning and TV. Some have sea views, and infant cots/cribs can be put into rooms for you. The hotel offers WiFi internet access, babysitting, dry cleaning, has a business centre and a host of other services.
