Hotel Borgo Dell'Orso

Simple hotel, simple breakfast. Close to Palau and a 35 minute drive to Porto Cervo. Good value for the money. Don't expect too much service (no iron, no gym, no room service).

We recently stayed at Borgo dell’Orso in Palau for 2 nights and had an overall pleasant experience. The hotel is located about 7 minutes by car from the town center. While it’s not far, I wouldn’t recommend walking, as the road is quite hilly and not ideal for pedestrians. The check-in process was smooth, but I suggest completing the online check-in in advance when they send the email—it really speeds things up. It’s also a good idea to call the hotel if you plan to arrive late in the evening. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay more enjoyable. Our room was spacious, spotless, and well-maintained, with daily cleaning and fresh towels. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the mattress was very comfortable. Another great feature is the free on-site parking, which is very convenient if you’re exploring the area by car. There were a few minor downsides: there was a slight smell of paint upon entering the room, the breakfast was very basic and not really worth it, and the water pressure in the shower was a bit inconsistent. That said, this is understandable considering the hotel’s mountain setting—it likely takes powerful pumps to keep the water flowing steadily. Despite these small issues, we would still recommend this hotel for a short stay, especially if you’re visiting with a car.

Orso New hotel! Lovely staff! Good location!
