    Loud music could be heard from the street during the night, specifically on Sunday night.

    Location, size of room and reception staff were extremely helpful especially Stefania.

    Location was fabulous, right in front of the harbour, night life and great restaurants. The room was huge and the bed was very comfortable. Having the air-con on before we arrived was wonderful. Allowed the room to be nice and cool on our arrival. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was great too, lots of variety. Would definitely recommend staying here.

    A Perfect Honeymoon Stay – Exceptional in Every Way We had the absolute pleasure of staying at La Vecchia Fonti hotel in the Presidential Suite for two nights as part of our 14-night honeymoon in Sardinia — and it was, without doubt, one of the standout highlights of our entire trip. The hotel is ideally located right on the Palau harbour, offering the perfect base for exploring the stunning La Maddalena archipelago. But beyond the prime location, what truly set this stay apart was the impeccable service and attention to detail from the moment we arrived. Check-in was warm and seamless, and we were made to feel welcome from the first moment. The staff were outstanding — consistently friendly, helpful, and genuinely thoughtful throughout our stay. They are a real credit to the hotel. A beautiful touch awaited us in our suite: a bottle of sparkling wine, a handwritten welcome note, and a delicious platter of fresh fruit — all of which made us feel truly celebrated and cared for as honeymooners. The Presidential Suite itself was simply stunning — stylish, spacious, and immaculately maintained. It had everything we could have possibly needed and more, including a private gym! But the true showstopper was the private terrace with breathtaking panoramic views over the harbour. Complete with sun loungers, a dining table and chairs, and our own private hot tub, it was the ultimate spot to relax in privacy and comfort. The view was so spectacular we chose to dine on our terrace in the evening, as nowhere else could have compared to that setting. In every aspect — from the luxury of the suite to the professionalism and warmth of the team — this hotel exceeded our expectations. It was romantic, peaceful, and effortlessly elegant. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, and we would return in a heartbeat. A truly unforgettable stay.

    The breakfast option was basic but okay. It didn't worry us during our stay but just to note there is a live music stage nearby that plays music past midnight at the weekend.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was great, we had a balcony with a view on to the harbour. The location was central and easy to find. Parking was €12 per night in the car park opposite the hotel. We would definitely return to this hotel.

    Difficult to access booked parking on fridays due to weekly market. You need clear instructions that mean you need to either wait till post noon and pay for parking elsewhere or enter a 1-way street in the wrong way to get to the underground parking.

    Central location. Daily evening market in front of the hotel.
