Hotel Il Timone in Golfo di Cugnana, open May–August.
Hotel Il Timone stands out in the Golfo di Cugnana region as a waterfront property with direct beach access and Mediterranean views that most competing venues lack.
Built around a working marina setting, the hotel offers an authentic coastal atmosphere rather than the manicured gardens typical of traditional wedding venues.
Its location on Via del Timone provides guests with genuine proximity to Sardinian sailing culture and natural beauty.
It is an excellent hotel, run by an excellent team of genuinely friendly and nice people. The location of the hotel is superb: there are many amazing beaches nearby. The hotel is also close to the airport and the city of Olbia and lots of other all-worth-to-visit places and little villages. The rooms are excellent, there is good Internet connection, air-conditioning and magnificent service. Definitely a place to visit again and again!
