I read about Calgari in a magazine, it looked a fab place to visit, great beaches and a city location so lots to see and do. We booked to stay at Califfo as it stated a 5 star at a reasonable price. What I learned on this holiday was that sometimes things are cheap for a reason!! the hotel itself... more

Me and my family choose Italy for our summer vacations, we decided to go to Sardinia, because we found this place quiet and cheap. Our hotel was Hotel califfo, near to Cagliari, first city in the island and we found a really great prices comparing the prices in another hotel in the same category, 4 stars hotel. Cheap and quiet,... more

as soon as we arrived we noticed that the hotel looked tired and unkept, with paint peeling off the walls. it is located well out of town, with outdated decor reminiscent of nursing homes. well, most of the guests we saw were in fact very elderly! as the hotel is actually on the main road from cagliari to villasimius, there... more

We were surprised by how far out of Cagliari the hotel actually was, but this can be solved by the efficient bus service into the town centre (40 mins). The hotel itself is clean and has most of the things you would expect such as a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, tennis courts e.t.c. however there was not much to keep... more

The hotel is along the road from Cagliari to Villasimius; 1 km from the beach. The front building is not very nice but inside facilities are a good value for money. Rooms are modern style with something of tipical; bathrooms are adeguate and clean. There is a nice swimmingpool, tennis court, a little soccer court. Good Restaurant and good breakfast... more

The reception staff was very helpful when our rental car broke down. They called the car hire agency for us, as we do not speak italian, and... more

If you are looking for la dolce vita, stay away from this communist bunker-like soulless hotel. There is absolutely nothing to do in the area. The breakfast has no healthy option, consisting of oily pastries and cake and there are flies everywhere. The tea/coffee that you may/may not be offered in the morning will taste of salt as they use... more

We arrived at this hotel with the expectations you might have of a four star hotel. We were immediately disappointed. The rooms were small and and humid. We turned the airconditioner on, but nothing happened. We were told that the aircondition was controlled sentrally, and that there were certain time-periods for it. Well, the "on"-periods were apparently while we where... more

l'hotel è molto conveniente, dista solo 25 minuti dal centro di Cagliari. Il personale è gentile e collaborativo. Tra l'altro... more
