Monte Altura Fortress

Thank you Hotel Stefania, for a great start for my 30th birthday! I highly recommend to stay here, we were situated in the villa just across from the main hotel and we much preferred this as it was so peaceful. A quick walk through the garden for a delicious buffet breakfast every morning set the day up perfectly. Within a heartbeat you’re then stepping onto Pittulongu beach - beautiful blue waters and plenty of food and drink options too. All of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful. A wonderful first impression made by Mona at reception as she gave us a little tour and history of the hotel - she is fabulous! Antonella from reception on checkout was also fantastic and very charismatic. Ristorante Nino’s served tasty traditional Sardinian food, great service by the pool for aperitivo by the enthusiastic waiters, too. We will definitely be returning, Grazie!

This was one of the best vacations we have ever had in this resort. The beach was one of the best I’ve spent 14 days at, the pool was nice too. The amenities they provided like shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion all acqua Parma high end products. I had a spacious room and housekeeping came twice a day and did a great job. I attended a start of summer party which they did very well with everything included, live music, drinks and gourmet food from their restaurant Gusto, it was a great night. Tuesday is pizza night where they have a pizza truck on the premises for 30 euros per individual pizza, fun night. On Wednesday they had Sardo night with traditional local entertainment and typical Sardinian food also a fun evening. The maître d'hôtel would come around in their restaurant and explain the fresh fish available and how it is prepared, one night they prepared for me half lobster with pasta and red sauce for 118 euros. Local Sardinian wines were available and delicious, I pretty much ordered the same one daily for 60 euros. Breakfast was either buffet or order from a menu with eggs made to order or a buffet with everything you can imagine all included with your room. I didn’t have a rental car but if you wanted to experience another restaurant in neighboring towns it was 10 euros per head each way on their shuttle. They have a wonderful bar area with live music daily, I had a grey goose 18 euros with club soda 10 euros extra, my wife had an aperol spritz 23 euro

Nice hotel, good sized rooms. Unfortunately some of its facilities were not operational such as the beach club, second (beachfront) restaurant). Air conditioning in the room did not work. Staff seemed functional but not particularly welcoming. Perhaps they felt it was the end of the season. Maybe they should fully function and then close rather than stay half open.
