La Villa del Re - Adults Only - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

My girlfriend and I stayed for a long weekend and we were blown away by the immaculate hotel, world class service and delicious food and drink here. The beach is beautiful, gardens pristine and rooms immaculate. It was extra special as we got engaged out here and the hotel staff were exceptional in helping me create a private, memorable occasion for us. Special thanks to Francesca, Matteo and Diego for their exceptional service. La Villa del Re holds a special place in our hearts and we will certainly be back. Grazie mille!

One of our favourite hotels. We come here to do nothing, relax by the pool or beach, swim a bit and read. The staff are exceptional, 2 brilliant restaurants and a fantastic bar.

We had a great stay. The place is wonderful, calm, the beach is beautiful and the staff are very attentive! The restaurant is very good (especially the one upstairs) it's a shame that the one at the bar isn't as good! €30 for a Caesar salad that isn't worth it, it's disappointing! We of course recommend the place which is magnificent

Lovely large junior suite/room 222, sometimes noisy as above the restaurant, small balcony. Lovely setting with easy access to beaches, with sun beds and with crystal clear waters. Staff were all amazing, very attentive, professional and kind. Two lovely fine dining restaurants and poolside bar/snack area. Would recommend highly.

This was by far one of our favorite places we’ve ever traveled to! This was our final stop on our two week honeymoon trip around Italy and it was the perfect place to end our journey. From the moment you walk in, you can tell how much the staff values the quality of your stay. No detail was missed and everyone was extremely kind and customer service oriented. We can’t say enough good things about this place! Great food, great property, great drinks and very relaxing! We will be back!

Quiet

Food options fantastic. Quite, wonderfull. On of the best vacations ever.

Beautiful property, great beach, fantastic customer service.

Excellent hotel right on a beautiful beach. The staff were standout without exception. A touch of luxury in beautiful surroundings.

.

The property was beautiful, but the beach was moved, and there was no food or beverage service at the beach or quilting by the pool. Rooms were small, and staff repeatedly forgot to make our dinner reservations. Nice, but not a 5 star hotel.

One of our best stays ever in Italy!

Amazingly classy hotel. Beautifully maintained and first class staff. Would definitely return.

This property was amazing! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is wonderful, especially the fruit, French toast, and pastries. The beach is beautiful - turquoise water, white sand, plenty of comfy beach chairs. The surrounding area also has lots of good restaurants and agriturismo.

War ein tolles Hotel mit netten Mitarbeitern

We really enjoyed our stay at this magnificent hotel. The staff and service is first class. The decor is the high end Sardi decor I was hoping to experience. Dinner at La Palma was superbe, not to mention the romantic ambiance and elegant decor. The daily breakfasts were a great way to start the day and were presented in such a fine fashion. Lunch near the pool area was also very good. The grounds and vegetation are stunning and the beach is beautiful. This is a beautiful venue to recharge the batteries. Would highly recommend!

Staff and service 5 stars. The room was a little small and in my opinion could be updated, as well as the main building. But overall, the stay was excellent

Great

This place is wonderful, the staff are very nice and friendly and attentive to details. The restaurant has a great wine list and it’s delicious. Will definitely come back

STAFF IS AMAZING

This place is heaven , everything and everyone was beyond amazing

Beautiful setting

This is a truly beautiful hotel. Everything about it is luxurious from the pool and beach to the rooms and restaurants The staff are friendly and so attentive. It’s quite remote so a car would be advisable however the hotel can arrange taxis to restaurants but there is a surcharge after 10 pm. There’s nothing really negative to say about this hotel Its a perfect retreat if you want relaxation and peace and quiet.The drinks are on the expensive side but I guess it’s what you pay in hotels of this calibre I would definitely stay again

This is a very beautiful property with attentive staff. Perfect place to come and rest as there’s pretty much nothing else to do. During my stay I found that the beach in the pictures is not what I found. It appears we stayed either during very high tide or that there has been a lot of beach erosion since the photographs were taken. Again, this is the perfect place to come if you want to cut yourself off from the world and just rest and relax.

A beautiful adults only resort with a spectacular beach and pool facilities! Dining was an experience and did not disappoint. Above all, service was excellent and unlike anywhere I’ve experienced … even at the Four Seasons. Amazing spot to come and unwind after a busy Italy road trip.

Lovely staff . Very nice hotel. Drink and food far too expensive for what it was and limited choice of Italian dishes. Also no toilets near beach so a long trek to use toilet from beach.

This hotel was absolutely breathtaking! Everything is so clean, well cared for and the true picture of luxury/relaxation. The service is exceptional and the attention to detail very appreciated. The only issue is the taxi fee to near by towns is excessive at $70 euro round trip to a town 20 min away. This was a great hotel, great stay & will come again

From the moment I walked into the property, I felt welcome. Francesca greeted me with an authentic smile and checked me in on the terrace. From there it only got better with the property offering lovely rooms, spectacular food/wine, and a true get away sensation at a time Europe is overrun with tourists. Highly recommend.

Thanks to all the staff! Exceptional service. Great food, great time spent on the beach and pool! Really recommend LVDR for relaxing and recharge with positive energy. Suggestion: party on the roof terrace? Indoor cooled space for gym? We’ll definitely return!

This is a beautiful location on a very long stretch of beach. It is a true 5 star property and 5 star experience with fantastic service and professional staff. The rooms are large, well appointed and very clean. The property is landscaped beautifully and well maintained. The restaurants are first rate. Stay here if you are in Castiadas.

found bite marks in the bread at breakfast - bread clearly being reused which is unsanitary and ruined the dining experience for me for the rest of the trip I have videos of black ants in the hotel room. Cleaning schedule seemed irratic with the cleaners often coming at strange times - room was never really cleaned. They just made the bed. Staff clearly overworked with the same staff on at breakfast working all the way until dinner service or later Staff seemed somewhat annoyed that we elected to use their transfer services frequently to dine outside the resort - we were left waiting for 1 hour to return at one point after notification. While we were fine to wait - it was the one time no one greeted us on our return and felt pointed Beautiful resort, great food and grounds but just some thoughts

We absolutely loved the hotel and beach. The ocean was heaven! Staff were all very friendly and happy to assist. They also had a great breakfast! We thought the sheets were low quality and mattress needs to be updated. We also thought they could have had free water refill stations as we felt the number of plastic bottles we went through was ridiculous, especially for a hotel on the beach. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family. It exceeded our expectations!

Beach was incredible!

Staff was outstanding. Property is impeccable and beautiful. Pool bar staff need to be more attentive. Always had to get their attention for service even when not busy. Frequently frustrated when food manager said restaurant was "full" and no tables available when there were in fact open tables throughout entire evening. Don't play that game.

Lovely grounds and beach, outstanding service. The only thing I didn't like was that there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms and size of rooms. Everything else was superb.

Wow. This property is beautiful from top to bottom. On top of that I have never encountered hospitality of this magnitude. Everything from the moment I drove in had me feeling luxurious and like a celebrity. The room was great , staff were phenomenal, breakfast options were amazing, dinner as well (lot of options around the property too), pool and beach location was super picturesque. Anything we needed they catered to and it exceeded my expectations. This hotel set the standard for hospitality for me going forward. They even gave us a courtesy room after check out which was very nice.

The staff and property was exceptional! We absolutely loved this place. I would rate the food 4 out of 5 since we ate every meal at the resorts’ restaurants, and felt like some meals were a bit hit or miss. Ultimately, the rates for the food were quite reasonable and fair for the experience we received. We paid for an upgraded room with a sea view and really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend the upgrade. The hotel is 1 hour away from the airport and hiring a car will cost you $125 Euros each way ($250 Euro) for round trip. So be prepared to pay that for your commute. The hotel was very accommodating and is able to prepare the arrangements for you which was very easy and highly recommended. The poolside food was great and but not cheap. Cost as much as your dinner items at the strictly enforced dress code restaurants. So bring long pants if you want to eat at one of the two restaurants, otherwise you will be denied entry even if it’s 90 degrees out. I thought this strictly enforced dress code was ridiculous, even though I was wearing quite expensive dress shorts and expensive attire. I was forced to change and was embarrassed. It wasn’t like I was wearing flip flops and swimwear. I could understand that. Additionally, the pool side drinks were quite expensive and not very good in my opinion. If you are paying $20 Euros for a drink, it should be amazing and worth it. Ultimately, we enjoyed our stay but the mosquitoes were everywhere and they ate my girlfriend alive.

Property is stunning and the service was exceptional.

Beautiful property and wonderful service.

La Villa Del Rei is a slice of paradise in Sardinia. We had an immensely lovely time there. Beach holidays are my favourite kind and I can wholly vouch that the private beach access of this hotel alone makes the stay worth it. It is a world class beach and we appreciated the hospitality of the lifeguards (especially Davide) and the complimentary use of SUPs and kayaks. The service and hospitality at this hotel was outstanding. No request was ever too difficult - we asked for towels to bring to the beach and it was all prepared for in our car, packaged beautifully with extra bottles of water! I was bitten by a playful puppy on my second day there and the staff all seemed to have communicated this with each other and various different staff asked if I was ok and if I required anything further. Thoughtful, nuanced touches like these make a good hotel a memorable one. Some minor areas of improvement: we noticed both our rooms were not sound proof and we were able to hear our neighbours’ conversation in the evening. We would have loved a gym but I believe the hotel is currently building one. There is access to a community palestra which is well equipped for a 10 Euro fee but they are closed on Sundays so a note for all avid exercise aficionados that you can access dumbbells on the terrazza with yoga mats as well. Overall, a splendid stay and we would be keen to return one day!

The resort is truly beautiful and staff are amazing. They all love what they do and proud of the property and the work they do. The views are breathtaking and beaches are out of this world. We loved our stay at the resort and can’t wait to go back.

The service was excellent The food was excellent

Great experience at the hotel. Service and staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed for a week and rented a car, which I would recommend if you stay for an extended period of time. There are only two restaurants at the hotel and although the food is excellent, the options are very limited and overpriced. Breakfast was included and excellent. Only hotel on a long stretch of amazing beach. Had an amazing time here and would recommend it. Only negative element was the live entertainment on two nights. Five of the seven nights the music was soft background music and perfect for the setting. The other two nights the music was extremely loud, shrieking and very disturbing until 10:00pm.

Always a relaxing and luxurious experience. Kudos to the staff who makes every guest feel very special.

My wife and I loved it. The best vacation we've ever had.

Great stay 10/10

This is a beautiful hotel, with extremely comfortable rooms and spacious pool area. We had a wonderful break here, but were a little let down by the slow service of an evening at the Infinity bar and sporadic service in the Bella Vista restaurant. Markup on drinks is high, but you expect this in a true 5 star hotel.

Absolute bliss. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing luxury break.

Beautiful hotel in quiet location right on the beach. This is the place to go and relax. Excellent attentive staff on every level, so

Not a 5 star resort. Far from it. Awful staff, rude management- woken up at 3am to power tools being used outside the room. When complained to management their response was “you’ve seen our reviews” - well here’s a review : this property is overrated, over priced and stuffy. In the middle of nowhere. Save your money and book elsewhere.

Amazing stay. Extreme caution and respectful of COVid policy ! Overall service exceptional… went above and beyond to help . Would. highly recommend!

This is a beautiful and impeccable hotel with delicious food and the most outstanding service we have ever had. The manager Ms Cristofaro and Fabio the concierge took excellent care of us and the whole staff was caring and professional. It is very isolated so if you want to visit small towns around you need a car or a driver. This can be arranged for you.

Very satisfied…. Beautiful property and extremely friendly and accommodating staff

Location is beautiful....amazing place

Great hotel with the most amazing staff i highly recommend

We really enjoyed our stay and definitely will be coming back. Great service with very attentive team ready to assist all clients needs. Beautiful hotel with nice beach. Food was delicious! The team that is running this place is truly special.

An amazing hotel with first class staff in a great location. The rooms are beautiful and elegant. Going to dinner is a joy and you can be assured of personal attention each and every time.

Villa Del Re is a phenomenal hotel in an amazing, picturesque location. Everything about this hotel is perfect, including the staff and management - who are exceptionally caring and devoted to making each stay truly perfect. Having stayed in more than 30 Small Luxury Hotels across the world, we can highly recommend Villa Del Ray for the exceptional hospitality, beautiful beach, and absolutely delicious food. A big thank you to the whole team - from General Manager to Rita from Housekeeping - for going above and beyond.

The property is spotless (built in 2014) and on a beautiful piece of land and turquoise beach, with a delicious restaurant for both lunch and dinner, but what makes it truly special is the staff, which from Rossetta, the hotel manager, to Raymondo, the head of front office and Diego & Matteo, the main F&B managers, we felt special every minute we spent there. And looking around us, the personalized and warm service was given to every customer, which is a great testament to how this property is managed. While there are a few nice hikes around and some beaches to visit, either by car or by renting a boat on property, the only interesting dining option outside is an agroturismo (a farm that makes you dinner cooking their own products), which the hotel recommended. Overall, wonderful relaxing and gourmet 5-day stay. We’ll be back soon!

amazing

We went to La Villa del Re on our honeymoon and we are already planning when we can go back again! The staff were lovely, our room was perfect and the beach was superb. The music and food were brilliant, we went out every other night but we had more fun eating at the hotel. Our personal favourite was waking up to harp music being played below our bedroom window for people eating breakfast.

We stayed here for 4 nights on our honeymoon and loved it. We booked a superior garden room. These are the group d floor room with a small patio with a bistrot table and a few sun Loungers. Even though our room was the farthest you could get from the ocean or pool and close to the parking lot entrance, it was quiet and private. The hotel staff is phenomenal. They bend over backwards to make you comfortable. So much so that sometimes we felt a bit annoyed at being asked 3 times by 3 different peoe for everything.... Water at the beginning of dinner through coffee at the end. Better that than the opposite though. The hotel was refurbished completely 5 years ago and it still.looms brand new with a beachy elegance about it. The patrons are sophisticated and polished, with the exception of a few souls who got lost on their way to Cancun. The coast is magnificent- definitely rent a boat or private dinghy you can drive yourself. It was one of the most romantic days of our entire.honeumoon. Villasimius isn't worth the drive, and after trying a few restaurants in the area, your best bet is the hotel- by far!!!!!

Fantastic relaxation spot. Would definitely come again

The property is truly amazing and the staff is exceptional. If one is looking for peace and quiet and relaxation at a great property offering great service, then this is an excellent choice.

My Husband and I loved our stay at La Villa Del Re. This is a very special place. The property is stunning and immaculately kept. The grounds are highly manicured with beautiful and unusual plantings and the rooms are gorgeous. The staff at this resort make the difference, they are friendly, professional and truly want to make your stay a happy one. The food is wonderful here, and it’s nice to have a full breakfast and afternoon tea included everyday. The beach and pool facilities are also fantastic. The location is very tranquil so if you are looking to get away from it all, relax and be taken care of - this is your place. They truly pursue excellence at this property.

Loved everything Disliked nothing Difficult to find better

Hotel is amazing and staff are so attentive. Absolutely a 5star resort

The hotel has it’s own beach and a beautiful pool but the nicest thing about it the staff who all go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

The hotel is beautiful and tranquil. Dominque and Raymond (managers) were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. The waiters were all great. Breakfast buffet and afternoon tea were a nice touch. See you next year :)

This Hotel is simply amazing, the location, the staff, the food were all over and above what I expected and there are not too many places in the world where you feel as valued as you do here, I without any hesitation would recommend this Hotel and will be going back next year well done And thank you to all the staff at La Villa De Re.

One of the best experiences I've had On holiday. The hotel and the facilities are fantastic but the staff are absolutely amazing. From the first contact we had over the phone until the end of our trip we could not praise high enough the service, the staff, the food and the facilities . Thank you so much. Mimi and Jas

Never having been to Sardinia before our first experience was very enjoyable. The hotel was welcoming, perhaps a little remote, but once there very accommodating. I can't speak too highly of the staff who were friendly and looked after us during our stay. I did have an issue about the lack of drawers in the bedside tables but this was resolved as soon as I mentioned it. Our room was comfortable although I found it a lttle cramped and could probably benefit from different furniture. Perhaps other rooms were better equiped. The catering was first class, dinner being particularly a joy in both preparation and presentation accompanied with excellent sardinian wines. Sadly I wasn't impressed with the lack of a proper bar where you could have a quiet aperitif etc. I found the background music in the meeting area intrusive and rather poor on most occasions.

Most wonderful staff, fantastic food reasonably priced for *****, best location in South Sardinia right on the beach. No need to fly to Maldives to experience paradise beach!

The hotel and staff are five star. We previously vacationed in the south of France but wanted a hotel in the Mediterranean that offered a more quiet scene with a private relaxing beach. Upon arriving at the airport and seeing the surrounding area, we were concerned.. but after a 45 minute drive down the coast, we arrived at La Villa Del Re and were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is positioned perfectly on a lovely sandy beach with clear blue water that is perfect for swimming. The grounds and pool are lovely. The room and bathroom was spacious,light, and offered nice linens and amenities. The service and staff were some of the most friendly, professional, and helpful we have ever experienced. The breakfast buffet is amazing and tea time is lovely. The food offered at lunch and dinner was also excellent. This is the perfect place for relaxation.

Lovely hotel with only 48 rooms so it never feels really busy, even when it's full. Really high standards and the great staff can't do enough for you.

Peace, view, calm , clean, beach....Excellent food ......all in one. Just you need a car to see more around...... and you have a lot to see......

This is our second stay at this fantastic hotel. There is so much attention to detail here. For a couples relaxing break this hotel is hard to beat. The location overlooking the beautiful beach is outstanding. The staff are a credit to this hotel. Each and every one of them so pleasant and helpful.

Excellent as always

Had a most enjoyable 5 day break at Villa Del Rey. Amazing location and the Hotel maintains the highest of standards. The staff at the Hotel are extremely friendly and provide impeccable service ensuring that your stay will be a memorable one - probably the best service that we have certainly experienced. we also have to say a very special thanks to Rita for all her help and understanding.

Lovely hotel, nice pool, beautiful private beach. Staff onhand for everything. Great food in the reastaurant, especially the local fish.

Georgeous peaceful setting with attentive staff and immaculate grounds. Rooms are lovely and very well kept. Wonderful food. Complimentary breakfast is exceptional. We were very happy we selected this hotel and would highly recommend it.

I thought the prices of taxis into the local town charged by the hotel were extortionate .Afternoon teas were served which were of the highest quality yet i had to pay 4 euros for coffee because i do not drink tea .On the beach there was a regular smell of rotten egg gas .

This hotel could not be in a better setting. Amazing views out to sea. We were lucky enough to be there on the night of clear skies and a full moon. Magical! Staff were friendly, food incredible. We had a great stay. Thank you for a great, relaxing stay. Will definitely be back.

Excellent faciliti excellent stuff excellent food. Perfect location

We cannot express our admiration of this hotel enough. Probably the best hotel we have stayed in for some time. This is particularly noteworthy since it is only three years old. The quality hits you on arrival and remains until the moment you leave. The welcome, stay and departure make you feel appreciated as guests. It is aimed at couples and meets this objective with consummate ease. The staff are attentive and welcoming and set a very high standard indeed. We found the environment, the gardens, pool and beach to be stunning and relaxing. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything was done to help us . The beach was safe and ideal for swimming. The Costa Rei coast was simply beautiful and undeveloped with no high rise developments. The remoteness from other centres was an added bonus. Coastal boat trips were available. The restaurant excelled. Meals were eaten under cover or in the open air. Food was high quality and service exceptional. Breakfast choice was huge and evening meals very romantically arranged as evening fell. Reception was friendly, very helpful and totally professional.

Fantastic location right on the beach, staff wonderfully attentive and discreet, food fabulous...

It is a first class hotel. The service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Outstanding hotel with great attention to detail. Attentive staff, comfortable rooms cleaned twice a day, excellent beach. A luxurious retreat.

Very warm welcome, fast check in, convenient balcony with wonderfull sea view, well equiped beach with beds, sun umbrellas, gazebo, kayaks etc. You can order drinks and snacks from pool bar.

The hotel is very nice designed. Well done. The hotel staff is very friendly and nice. I think the hotel would benefit on a spa area.

This is a beautiful hotel with a fantastic, attentive staff.

It was an amazing getaway. The service was incredible, as was the beach and the pool. The rooms were very nice. If it had a gym and a spa it would even better, but regardless, it was great! The staff super friendly, helpful and accommodating. I would only recommend that u get a car, because it is sort of a standalone location and there are towns close by worth checking out and eating at. The cabs to and from the airport are also a bit pricey, so it's worth it even from that regard. It's Defin more of a couples scene, but it was my first solo trip and I still absolutely loved it!

Hotel is outstanding from the views to the breathtaking pool. The rooms are luxurious and clean. The hotel staff are very professional albeit a little too serious and not massively smiley and welcoming but very organised. The hotel is very isolated so a car is a good idea. The only real thing let down the hotel was no gym and spa treatments as you'd expect with a 5 star.

I truly enjoyed my stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful giving tips of places to visit, the hotel own a few bikes the guests can borrow to cycle to the village. Highly recommend.

This was such a relaxing hotel to be in. The staff were attentive and accommodating without being overly intrusive. Food was great and the room always made up and clean.

A superb hotel with friendly attentive staff. An ideal location for a quiet relaxing break. Excellent sea views and a clean sandy beach with lots of staff always at hand to assist with seats and towels etc. If they were able to add a spa to their facilities, this would be beneficial to attracting clientele

Hotel has a very nice feel, not that many rooms so it's never crowded in the restaurant , beach or pool area. Staff was amazing! Very polite, always there when you need them, ready to assist with any problem. Everything is high quality in this hotel: furniture, towels, bed linen , food. Rooms are cleaned twice a day and your bed is made for the night. Private beach is beautiful with comfortable sunbeds. Infinity pool area is superb! Well equipped, well organized, poll bar service is excellent.

Beautiful location with excellent service and facilities.

This is an amazing hotel. The staff cannot do enough for you, in all parts of the hotel. It is in a perfect position facing the beach with a infinity pool over looking the sea. Food is fab & choice at buffet breakfast includes anything that you may want. Rooms are fine with good size bathroom, we had a classic room which faces front but still very quiete.

We loved our stay here. The staff were so attentive- even a 10 minute delay on our table meant a complimentary prosecco. Beautiful pool and delicious cocktails at the poolside bar made for a very relaxing time. Scrummy pasta too! Can't wait to go back!!
