RELAIS VILLA CAROLA

A family-owned boutique hotel with a restaurant, pool and sea views in the hills near Porto Cervo, with some rooms that have private pools.

Why people love it

• Rooms with private pools. Guests single out the rooms with their own pool and the large, clean, well-equipped rooms. One guest stayed in the prestige suite, which has a big balcony.
• Friendly, helpful staff. Valeria and the front desk team are named by one guest for help with every need. Another praised the concierge team for being responsive.
• Breakfast and the Jona restaurant. Breakfast is called excellent by several guests. A dinner guest praised the food and wine list on the terrace by the pool.
• Peaceful setting. Guests describe a calm, intimate place away from the crowds of Porto Cervo, with a pool that looks over the hills and sea.

Why they come back

"We have been coming to Relais Villa Carola every single year since the day it opened, and it truly feels like our second home."

The worst thing guests say

Road noise is the most repeated complaint. A September 2025 guest gave 1 star for noise from one of the busiest roads on the island, and a 2021 guest also said traffic could disturb the view. A September 2025 3-star guest called the pool unheated and the breakfast mediocre. A September 2024 1-star review said the main advantage was newness, and the rest of that review is cut off in our data.

Insider tips

• Light sleeper? Ask for a room away from the road.
• There is no direct beach access, so plan on a car or taxi.
• A room next to the pool was bright but dark inside, with the entrance door as its only window.
