  Lovely staff and comfortable stay, but pool and location disappointed (suggest hiring a car!)

  03 Nov 2025

  We stayed as a family of four (two adults, a three-year-old and a one-year-old) in late October. The staff were excellent from the start – friendly, responsive and very helpful in arranging our taxi from Olbia Airport (€210) and ensuring our rooms were next to each other. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast was great with plenty of choice and alternative milks available.However, the main reason we booked this hotel was the “heated” pool, which unfortunately was not heated at all during our stay. The location is also a bit misleading – it’s in Lu Bagnu, not Castelsardo town. In October it was very quiet with few restaurants open, and walking to Castelsardo isn’t safe as the path stops halfway and the busy narrow road has no pavement. We relied on taxis: €20 each way to Castelsardo, €50 each way to Porto Torres, and €180 to Olbia (we booked the return transfer ourselves).Buses are available, unfortunately not at the times we needed them for the above journeys, but we used a bus for a day trip to Sassari (I think it was just €2 each way for the adults and the children were free, and we used a bus from Olbia to Olbia airport which was €1 each and the baby was free.The people were wonderful though – both hotel staff and locals were so warm and kind, especially with our kids. We had a lovely holiday overall, but next time we’d stay closer to Castelsardo town or hire a car. Hotel Blumarea, Owner at Best Western Hotel Blumarea, responded to this review Dear Amanda,We truly thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words about our staff. We're delighted you appreciated our hospitality, the cleanliness of our rooms, and our breakfast, which are essential to us, especially for families.We regret that some aspects did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the pool, the temperature may vary due to weather conditions at the end of October. However, we are carrying out further technical checks to ensure greater heating continuity.Regarding its location, the hotel is in the seaside town of Lu Bagnu, just minutes from Castelsardo. The car rental suggestion is very helpful and we appreciate it, especially during the quieter months.We're happy you had a pleasant holiday and found the kindness that characterizes the area to be found in our staff and the local community.We hope to welcome you back to the Best Western Hotel Blumarea, aiming to make your stay even more comfortable.Warm greetings to the whole family. 🌿✨Paola Sini

  Marina, receptionist of the year award.

  25 Apr 2025

  My friend and I had a problem with the hire car which we picked up from Olbia airport. We had an incident on a previous day before arrival at this hotel. Marina, the receptionist, went above and beyond helping us with obtaining a quote for the damage. We are most grateful. Hotel Blumarea, Owner at Best Western Hotel Blumarea, responded to this review Dear Debbie, thank you for your positive review. We are happy to have left a good memory despite the small inconvenience of the machine. We look forward to seeing you in the future. Thank you very much.

  Nice hotel. Good breakfast

  03 Oct 2023

  Hotel was lovely and clean with friendly staff. We did have a broken mug in our room which was quickly replaced but it was nice to have a kettle to make a drink anyway (a rarity it seems!). There was no English tv despite the hotel reception saying there was, but that was a minor issue. They sent a man to our room to try and fix it but he couldn’t which wasn’t too much of an issue. We were only there for 2 nights. Castelsardo itself was lovely. The hotel was a short drive away from there but there wasn’t a lot else around the hotel. The breakfast was lovely in a big airy room with lots of choices. Not much parking outside the hotel but people seemed to park down the street opposite if it was full. We didn’t use the pool but it all looked ok. One thing that was an issue for us (and not sure if this is just where our room happened to be located) but you could hear the guests using their toilet next door!!! And them flushing it woke us up in the night!
