Beautifully serene and aesthetically appealing to the eye. Gorgeous view of the water from the countryside and tucked away from crowds and noise. Two stunning pools and lobby/lounge area that is never crowded. Should have car available or rent one to get to quaint town 8 minutes away, otherwise you are limited to the grounds. Cuisine was tasty and service staff was welcoming. Upscale in taste and price but we were very pleased with our stay. Would recommend.

Gorgeous hotel with every detail considered on your behalf. 2 pools, a stunning spa, tennis courts, shuttle to the beach, and a delicious breakfast. Everything you need can be reserved via an app which is very convenient! The hotel made us feel very safe during Covid and even changed the spa and hangman to exclusive use for 1 hour a day per guests. I can’t recommend this hotel more highly - it’s expensive but the view and service and rooms are worth every cent!

This was, quite simply, one of the best holidays we've ever had (despite Covid-19!) & full credit must go to the wonderful team at Li Finistreddi for delivering such a brilliant experience during such a difficult time. The service was flawless and the name 'country retreat' is absolutely spot-on - this is not a hotel in the conventional sense but a delightful estate nestled into the hillside a mile above the small town of Cannigione with 19 'rooms'. We stayed in 'Lantana' - my wife, daughter and I - which was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and generously apportioned. No building is more than one storey high, so the entire space feels in harmony with the stunning location. Nature abounds - butterflies, lizards, martens, night-jars - & the entire estate is meticulously kept. The restaurant is very good indeed but we alternated eating in and out on a daily basis. My wife is a coeliac & the chef provided all manner of gluten-free alternatives at both breakfast and dinner, as well as catering to my 12-year old daughter with great flexibility. Plenty of external guests come in for dinner, particularly at the weekend, which is always a good sign. Due to Covid, the hotel was not full when we stayed, but even at peak time I can't imagine this place would ever feel 'busy'. This is probably the best place we have stayed for a relaxing summer break/retreat and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

First trip to Sardinia...but not the last!
Hotel Li Finistreddi is such a beautiful hotel, in a lovely setting. Me and my husband stayed for 10 days from 20th June 2018. We arrived very late, but someone was there to greet us and take our bags to our room, rooms are compact but immaculate and the balcony with sea view was a real bonus. Breakfast was delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive, we only ate in the Restaurant twice but the food and service was totally amazing, a little more pricey but you did get what you paid for... Facilities on site were great from the Pools to the Spa and the wellness walk (which we walked every day). A car is recommended but we just hired one from the airport for our stay, Sardinia is a beautiful island to explore so definately a must!...Beaches are close by and Cannigione is a lovely little town. We will definately be back

Nice location. Hotel could be much improved
we could hear our neighbours on both sides, talking, showering and going to the toilet...bathroom was not in good condition. Toilet seat was broken. I showered with my flip-flops on as the shower was old and grey in some areas. We were disturbed by 2 weddings on Saturday and Sunday had to put up with noise and stressed staff. Breakfast was minimal and every day the same.Staff were in general nice.

We really enjoyed our stay and the hotel restaurant and bar excellent with good wine choices. The gardens and pools are very beautiful and relaxing the Spa was an added bonus with both treatments and facilities including the gym. It was easy to access all the local towns with good restaurants and good base to explore the north of the island. The staff were very friendly and helpful we were surprised lots close in October?

Amazing views, amazing hideaway
We've just returned from Li Finistreddi and what an amazing place. It's a very chic, cosmopolitan boutique hotel with amazing views. We stayed in the Pool suite and there was ample room for us and our daughter. The staff are very welcoming but not intrusive and there to help as and when you needed them. We loved the breakfasts. Simple but delicious. Yes there is no omelette on demand or vast array of salads, cold meats etc but good quality breakfast fayre....cereals, juices, fresh fruits, cold meats and cheeses, croissants and plenty of cakes! Having breakfast on the terrace in front of the infinity pool was just perfect. We ate once in the restaurant and that also was lovely but it was more fine dining and with our daughter we needed more everyday food so ate most nights in the delightful town Cannigione which was only 10mins drive away. Lots of really good restaurants there.

Elegant, peaceful, welcoming stay; stunning views
Celebrated our anniversary and could not be happier with the 3-night stay here. Peaceful, upscale property with attentive, warm service. Room was well-equipped, rustic style, and the bed was as comfortable as our favorite luxury hotel chain's signatures bed. Appreciated the spa and good details strong umbrellas at the pool when a fee breezes came gusting through. Everything about the stay was first class. We updated the marker on A popular map website to reflect the correct entrance from the main road. Hope to return one day!

Wonderful stay.
Very nice hotel with great facilities at a reasonable price. Super helpful staff. I note that the hotel is a bit isolated from towns and beaches, so a car is really necessary. Also, while not an issue for me, the pools weren't heated, so quite cool in mid to late May.

Very quiet, tranquil hotel
Hotel in situated approx 3 miles from Cannigione- a small coastal town with sufficient restaurants and facilities. You definitely need a car to access amenities outside the hotel. The hotel wasn't busy during our stay and at times spent around the pool, we were often the only people there ( there are 2 pools on site) !. The hotel facilities are very good - the grounds are well kept, elegant reception/lounge areas and the rooms are lovely - all with a balcony and view of the (distant) sea. Good internet/wifi. Powerful shower /good toiletries. The service/hotel staff were excellent. Good choice at breakfast which was served on terrace ( shaded or sunny spots), overlooking the infinity pool. A good location for experiencing the beaches around the Smerelda coast- after a day out, lovely to come back to relaxing hotel.

Fantastic place, absolutely beautiful and peaceful
I stayed with my girlfriend for 1 week, i cannot fault the hotel and would certainly revisit and recommend to anybody! Very quiet and peaceful, due to the small amount of rooms we usually had the pool to ourselves or maybe share with another couple. Staff were great and the food from the restaurant was fantastic, highly recommend the seafood platter. The views were fantastic and you're about a 5/10 minute drive to the nearest town, which worked well for us as we hired a car and could go out for dinner, we ate at the hotel restaurant twice and very reasonable priced and food was great! Highly recommend!!!!

Beautiful and relaxing hotel.
We chose this hotel for our honeymoon and were absolutely delighted with our choice. On arrival we were greeted by a very sweet lady who kindly showed us around the hotel and explained the facilities. We were then showed to our room where the staff had left us a bottle of champagne - what a lovely gesture! Our hotel room was stunning with a beautiful view over the mountain, sea and nearby island. The staff at the hotel could not be more helpful; whenever they saw us they always greeted us and any request was not a problem.

Lovely hotel, disappointing food
It’s worth noting that the hotel is not where it appears on the hotels.com map - it's much further up into the mountains. We were a bit disappointed about this, as we were specifically trying to find a hotel near the centre of Cannigione. You'll definitely need a car to get anywhere. That being said, the hotel was gorgeous. Recently renovated, the entire place had a luxurious feel to it. Beautiful pools, scenery, and rooms. It was very quiet though - both in terms of guests (which was great for us - pool to ourselves most days, in August!), and staff (they seemed to disappear at random times during the day, which made it hard to get drinks from the bar, or any help from reception). Breakfast is standard continental fare, but a limited selection, and the cooked options weren't all that appetising. For dinner, the hotel's restaurant really feels like it's trying too hard. They seem to be going for fine dining, and the decor and scenery certainly fit that well (as does the price of the food - ouch!). But the quality of the food itself is rather poor. One night I had the rabbit lasagnetta, and it came out stone cold. It took me ages to flag down a waiter to explain, and after that, no apology or recompense. Very disappointed. Other nights, I had sub-standard beef (billed as 'angus steak', but tough and chewy, and cut into a strange rectangle). I really feel like they're missing a trick here - if they concentrated on simple, local cuisine done well, they'd be onto a winner.
