Overview

 
Tucked between Budoni’s powder-soft beaches and the pretty Porto Ottiolu marina, Piccolo Hotel is an adults-only Sardinian hideaway with a laid-back, village-style feel. Expect cool contemporary décor, a generous Full Board Plus concept and a tranquil pool scene, all within easy reach of the coast and local life.

Think whitewashed walls, splashes of colour and fragrant Mediterranean planting wrapped around a central pool. Piccolo Hotel feels more like a chic little village than a resort, with pathways leading from your room to the pool terrace, buffet restaurant and pool bar. With adults-only peace and Full Board Plus included, days fall into an easy rhythm of beach, pool and sunset drinks. For couples seeking Sardinia’s charm without the crowds, Piccolo Hotel delivers the perfect balance. It’s approximately 45 minutes from Olbia (OLB) airport. See more Italy holidays.
