It's a little like stepping back in time arriving at Santa Maria Navaresse - the locale has that old school kind of charm which obviously caters to an Italian crowd. The hotel Nascar itself sits proud in a slightly elevated above the beach and wouldn't be out of place in the Alps to look at. We were welcomed by Laura (a family cousin) who through our 5 night stay was amazingly welcoming and pro-active. In fact she was standout in her attentiveness. She helped to organise our boat trip which i would whole-heartedly recommend; a smaller boat (max 12 people) with a more intimate atmosphere and great lunch & wine. I should add however the beaches we visited were very busy with Italian tourists even early in July so don't expect beaches to yourself. That aside, the are picture perfect and very clean. The beach next to the hotel is sweet, slightly shingly but is pristine...it was a massive bonus to us that we could wander down and know that the hotel had reserved beds/umbrellas for guests. It made it very relaxing and a canny move given that this place has no pool. The hotel is quite traditional in its styling with modern flourishes - the bed was comfortable and everything spotlessly clean. I would say though if you are on the front with a small balcony you are facing out to the road and the road is closer than you may imagine and on times a little noisy. The restaurant is also at the front which is charming and very atmospheric in the evening. The food is of very good quality with a wine list to match; try the semi danno - ”Anastasia” a delicious wine from this little known grape. Breakfasts are usually under-whelming in Italy (liking to save room for the deliciousness of Lunch & Supper) but not here. There is a big effort made; fresh eggs cooked to order, pastries, fresh fruit and a juicer for orange. In fact everything you would want. Being half Italian I was surprised just how great it was, the best we'd had on our trip around the island. A small disappointment was that there are no areas around the hotel that I could practice yoga (I'd taken my mat) there wasn't really enough room in the bedroom but also no hidden little areas of garden. There is only space to the front of the property which is occupied by the restaurant - I didn't fancy practicing in full view in the park opposite! But it's just a small quibble. Make sure you check out L'olivastro (next to he beach slightly up the hill) we loved it there for a great casual lunch, wine and aperitivo in the evening such a lovely spot looking out to see shaded by giant olive trees. Gorgeous and incredibly good value. If you are touring around the beautiful island of Sardinia I would definitely put Nascar on the list of great little low-key & charming properties in a more under-the-radar East coast spot.

We spent one week there last September, the hotel is very nicely decorated the rooms are nothing special but good to relax after a full beach day, the staff is very friendly they helped us to organize a trip to different islands, there is parking and only 5 minutes drive away arbatax with plenty places to dine or have ice cream.

Beautiful hotel, not so new maybe because we stayed in regular room headed to the garden, no balcony, it was okay though. Easy access to the beach which is beautiful , turqoise water, clear and clean, also nice and quiet pool, friendly staff, got watermelon for refreshing at the end of warm day, We took half inclusive with dinner. It was good as well but we went out 2 times tried other restaurants around. We got a bottle Sella and Mosca when we arrived as we celebrated Anniversary it was sweet gesture, thank you La Bitta's Team. Overall we are satisfied, nothing to complaint about.
