The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- The property features hand-crafted plaster surfaces and stained glass windows that reflect a rustic Mediterranean aesthetic. This architectural approach allows the structures to blend seamlessly into the granite hills and surrounding greenery.
- One of the largest saltwater pools in the region serves as a centerpiece for the resort's outdoor activity. It provides a spacious environment for swimming with direct views overlooking the bay and the marina.
Things to Consider
- The cost of meals and drinks at the hotel's bars and restaurants is noticeably high, even for the area. Travelers may find more diverse pricing by venturing into the nearby village for occasional meals.
- Located a few kilometers from the heart of Porto Cervo, the hotel is not within walking distance of the main marina. Guests will need to rely on the hotel shuttle, taxis, or a rental car for shopping and nightlife.

Reviews from Google“Amazing service from William from Matuhisa! Loved loved the attention attitude and enthusiasm with which you have worked! Bravo! Special mention also to Lucas from the café and Alberto at the breakfast buffet! Overall good service only house keeping and front desk wouldn’t really cater to our needs and had somewhat of a bad and limited attitude! Would love to see them work with more care it is a turn off for the group! Also very good food! And kudos to the Niger Security always all smiles and nice words to us!”
“Though the virtue of a hotel and its stars lie in its grander, location, ambience , Resturant’s , pools , the spa and Hotel Cala Di Volpe Costa Smeralda aces in all these accolade. However these 5 stars shining most brilliantly in the sky of hotels are pale in comparison to the pleasant smiling faced stars , in the doorways , the hallways , behind the concierge desk reception desk, the restaurants. The hotel experience starts even before you enter the doors with the bell men who welcome with a smile and with alacrity. In the few days we stayed he did not once let us even open the door. One has hardly entered the doors when a reception team welcomes every member of the family individually and take you to the room efficiently. This letter would not be consummate if I forget to acknowledge the excellent concierge service and the delectable breakfast. “One awake day in Cala Di Volpi with those you love is better than a whole life time of dreams. You can follow me on X at @Khanaphorism.”
“Absolutely lovely. It will cost you, but the service, food, and property were truly excellent. The team’s commitment to hospitality is a rarity in today’s world. We’ll see you soon-”
“The hotel is nice and the cleanliness is good. The coffee is great with a beautiful view, and the staff are well-trained, matching the standard of a luxury hotel. The restaurants inside are also very good. *However, as a hotel guest, even the coffee at the reception had a minimum spend, which felt like there was little appreciation for in-house guests.* The hotel also offers a variety of activities, and the location is excellent”
“Arguably the best hotel I’ve been in. I’m 17 years old now and have been to this hotel consistently since I was 3-4 years old😍 the staff is amazing and food is out of this world! 100% going to take my kids to this place when that time comes!”
