01 · In a sentence

Hotel Villa Margherita in Golfo Aranci, open MayAugust.

Guests arrive at Hotel Villa Margherita to discover a Sardinian coastal property offering unobstructed views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and direct beach access.

The hotel's terraced layout guides wedding parties through Mediterranean gardens to ceremony spaces overlooking the water, where the sound of waves becomes part of your celebration.

On-site accommodations mean your guests wake to sea breezes and sunsets—no travel required between venue and rooms.

Immaculately presented hotel in one of the best locations on the island. Wonderful sea-view rooms overlooking the bay, with large balconies and high quality furnishings & fittings. Well stocked minibar, safe and comp toiletries. Welcoming, helpful staff, a nice bar, great pool, sunbeds with push-button service for drinks and a good amount of lounge areas. Breakfast served until 11, so there is no need to set your alarm! Superb gardens, plenty of parking and an excellent late check out of midday as standard. Good gym area and quality massage services. Great location - right next to the beach and close to the ferry port and town (all within a couple of minutes walk). We really felt like the hotel team were focused on us enjoying our holiday - and we did! We will be returning for sure.
