Beyond La Rocca’s incredible amenities, what stood out most during our stay was the service. Despite the property having just opened for the season, each person we interacted with went above and beyond to ensure our time was as comfortable, enjoyable, and luxurious as possible. Our treatment had nothing to do with our intent to feature the hotel, this was a standard extending to each and every guest. We learned that the people of Sardinia are known to be exceptionally kind and welcoming–an attitude that we felt from every staff member and even began to rub off on us New Yorkers. 

We were particularly struck by the kindness of one woman in particular, who was in the middle of her very first day working at the hotel. When our car failed to start in the hotel parking lot, she called us a mechanic and waited with us for over an hour while the battery charged, ensuring that we were okay. She was one of many people we encountered who exuded this sense of care. 

Given the high expectations of Mediterranean cuisine, we were delighted by the property’s dining. Even the breakfast buffet, an often overlooked offering, was both delicious and served in the most idyllic setting. Each of our dinners, whether at the pool bar, the main restaurant, or a steak dinner from the comfort of our rooms, was as good or better than anything we experienced off of the property. Hotel La Rocca has left no stone unturned in ensuring the best possible experience for their guests. 

This same dining standard was shown at La Rocca Beach Restaurant, an extension of the hotel just a 5-minute drive away via shuttle provided by the hotel. The view of the sunset and overall setting at La Rocca Beach Restaurant was remarkable and features a beautiful private beach set up for the daylight hours.

With so many exquisite features, our time in Sardinia at Hotel La Rocca was a much-needed reset in a truly luxurious environment. It was the most beautiful resting place, providing us with the energy we needed to continue exploring Sardinia.
