Colonna Beach Hotel Marinella

The staff provides excellent service, while the location offers easy beach access and convenient transportation. However, some guests found the breakfast limited and repetitive, with additional costs for simple extras.

What a surprise! Exactly what I was looking for. A simple retreat for 5 days to spend a few days with a dear friend at a bargain price in paradise. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much for that price in early July Sardinia. The apartment is small but perfectly formed in a complex built in the 80’s. Basic it is (and don’t expect to find even a dish cloth or a bit of soap) BUT BUT BUT it’s absolutely stunning value. All the basics are there and the terrace over looking the beach and the pool makes up for any minor niggles about the equipment. The stunning Marinella beach is but 2 minutes from your door and the pool about 45 seconds less! The pool is ‘staffed’ by some very competent and good humoured young folk! It’s large enough to get away from the kids if you need to and if you can avoid the obvious busy times, you might have it to yourself. From the terrace, you can see in real time how busy the beach or the pool is without leaving the shade of your own pad! The port of Marana where you can find a perfectly good little supermarket for all you need , a tabacchino, bar/cafe is about 10 minutes on foot which is very handy if you don’t want to pay the ludicrous price for a hire car in July! For me, the two greatest highlights of this trip where, -No.2- The bar/restaurant/tabacchino at the bottom of the stairs from the apartment! Fantastic coffee (mostly!) good service especially in the evening, great food and wine at seriously excellent prices less than a minute from your door! get go Federica was so so helpful -No.1- MUST be FEDERICA. This lovely woman made all the difference for me. It was she that answered my every question even on her days off. Federica was always there if I needed help with anything. She gave me the confidence that I’d done the right thing. Federica will make a big difference to YOU.
