Charming Sardinia beach abode near the Costa Smeralda

• Top amenities: The hotel’s pool comes equipped with a whirlpool and fantastic views of the coast, while nearby beaches are sandy and quiet. The hotel also operates a complimentary shuttle to Rena Bianca beach daily, and can organise a host of other activities, from sailing trips to mountain biking.

• All-day refreshments: Make the short hop from your sun lounger to the Garden American Bar, where you can pull up a stool and sip cocktails. By night, the bar transforms itself into a chilled-out piano lounge, where you can enjoy live music by candlelight.
  

• Plentiful dining: Breakfast is served buffet-style in Colonna Restaurant, where you can choose to eat beneath the exposed-beam ceiling or alfresco on the terrace – either way, you'll be able to soak up the views over the turquoise pool. It's open for lunch and dinner, too, serving a fabulous array of local seafood, homemade pizzas and hearty pasta dishes.

• Elegant accommodation: Rooms here are the epitome of Sardinian elegance – soft pastel hues, rustic stone walls and terracotta-tiled floors. Although each is individually designed, all come with a double or twin beds and a classic-style bathroom with walk-in shower. There's also an attractive veranda overlooking the gardens.

How to get there

Colonna Hotel Du Golf is located in the Costa Smeralda area, 15 minutes from the town of Olbia and Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport.
