We booked the hotel through www.cognoscentiworld.com (they are very nice by the way). Travel time from Olbia airport - approximately 40 minutes. The hotel itself is just up a hill above the Marina and the town but it only takes a minute by car to zip down. You can cut through down the hill to the marina (probably about 10... more

We thought this looked like a lovely, romantic hotel -- BUT it was not!! We were given the wrong room, without balcony, when we arrived even though we had the email confirmation printed out and i had called to make sure it was all set. We were told that there were no other rooms available so we'd have to stick... more

Balocco is a lovely hotel set in the hills of Porto Cervo. Although it is some distance from the port and nearby beaches, it's setting is still very much picturesque. The grounds are lovingly looked after and the staff are really helpful and pleasant. Be aware of the fact that the Hotel does not have a restaurant on site so... more

The Balocco is a great hotel in the region, the rooms are great value for money with reasonable price and excellent decor and service. The hotel has a lovely pool which can sometimes be a little crowded, the rooms are bright and well decorated with good air conditioning and shower. The staff are very polite and helpful, only negative i... more

We have just returned from the Balocco hotel- and I read all these reviews before we left, as I find trip advisor a great source of unbiased information. The location is beautiful, the pool area peaceful, with quiet piped jazz music and a wonderful view over Porto Cervo - but note that the photos don't show you the road running... more

We drove here from Alghero which was quite stressful due to the crazy driving antics of the Italians, so needless to say when we arrived, we were exhausted! Our room was beautiful! Room 301. We had a great terrace that led out onto the pool area, but which was totally private to sit and have a drink or some food.... more

My family and I spent a week at this hotel at the beginning of May. We knew this was an expensive destination and expected to pay high costs for meals and drinks. This was compensated by the cheap Easyjet flights we had secured and the fact that we got a good deal on the hotel through Expedia (we paid £65... more

Having just returned from this beautiful region of Sardinia I felt I had to write to encourage others to go there. My husband and myself were very impressed with the hotel, which was clean and unusual in its layout. It is beautifully decorated, the paintwork a pristine white, with blue accessories. The views were amazing looking out over the bay... more

My daughter and i have just returned home after spending 5 days at the balocco hotel.I would not return as i found the staff most unhelpful. I also think that they would benefit by having a restaurant. As we were travelling out of the holiday season there was nowhere to eat nearby. A car is a must as there is... more
