Find all hotels by Independent in Cala Francese

"Hotel clean and functional, but rather dated as other reviews mention. Plenty of secure parking available on site off-season. Pool area looked okay, but didn't take advantage. Breakfast not of great quality, and breakfast supervisor man rather hostile and peculiar, overly protective over his seating arrangements with multiple guests being relocated having sat at the "wrong table"."

"Great staff central position"

"Wonderful hotel and location. The staff were also amazing - 5*"

"Nice area. Walkable to the main area of town or beach."

"Amazing hotel service was great "

"Amazing hotel, stunning views, nice friendly staff, exquisitely clean. The birthday cake surprise on my birthday was beyond nice. Nice serene beach with crystal clear water. I would go back in a heartbeat."

"The hotel was stunning and staff were lovely—we were even upgraded to a beautiful Laguna room with direct pool access. However, we visited in mid-October and were disappointed to find most nearby places already closed for the season. The hotel had only one restaurant open with limited options and very high prices (€162 for two pizzas and a bottle of rosé). We tried exploring Baia (20 minute walk) and Porto Cervo (10 minute taxi, costing €40 each way), but both were mostly shut down. Even online listings showed places as open, which was misleading. By Day 4, we decided to rent a car, which was more cost-effective than taxis. We had room service once for lunch, but most days we relied on the nearby supermarket (about a 5-minute walk). They had fresh rolls, meats, and cheeses, which we brought back to our room. It’s a real shame there wasn’t clearer communication about the seasonal closures. The area is stunning, and we would have loved to experience it at its best. Had we known, we definitely would have chosen a different time of year to visit!"

"A beautiful resort. Stunning room. Beautiful pebble beach. We only went to the buffet for dinner - not as many options as I would have expected for the price but that might have been because it isn't peak season."

"Beautiful part of Sardinia; the public beaches around are gorgeous and pristine; the staff at Aethos are really excellent; the restaurant is good. Sophisticated, great for couples and yet also child friendly without being overrun by children. "
