Hotel Stefania Boutique Hotel by the Beach

Staff was very helpful in advising us what our options were for a boat trip away from Obia. We did enjoy the complementary jazz music player during one of the nights. Hotel is about a 5min walk to the beach which was perfect, just be extra careful when walking to the beach since you have to walk on the same road as the cars heading towards the beach, no separate lanes. We were however surprised you had to pay to use the sunbeds and umbrellas per day (25EUR) at their side of the beach since we assumed it was part of the booking considering the hotel is making advertisement for the availability of beach and sunbeds. Also it would be recommended to get a car during the stay to be able to explore the Olbia and its neighboring cities. Other than that we did enjoy our stay at the hotel.

First of all, the hotel is not beach front…. It is beach access from a side street. You are given a free pass for only one day for 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. After that, the daily cost is 25 euro. Staff were very kind and willing to assist in any way. The breakfast was very good but did not change day to day. It was pretty much the same every day. There is no evening night life at this hotel. No bands, music etc. Guests gather around the pool nightly for cocktails with a view of the restaurant “Ninos”. A bit uncomfortable if you’re the ones having dinner. The rooms are nice, spacious and clean with very comfortable beds but small showers. There are mini coffee makers in the room but not in the lobby and you are charged 3 euro for water in your fridge. My recommendations, rent a car, you are then free to explore the island. Stop at the supermercato for munchies and water. We bought an umbrella for 15 euro and bought a blanket. Overall a nice stay but Pittolungo is a very quiet area at night. Perfect if you’re looking for quiet downtime with no crowds or loud music.

The price for the sun beds is hidden.

The staff was so friendly and welcoming! The hotel is older, but rather than feeling dated, it has character and feels well-loved. Breakfast was beautiful with lots of options. Private parking lot across the street and pretty easy bus access. My only surprise was there was a charge to use the hotel "private beach" chairs. The seagrass hadn't been swept away from the water access and no effort was kept to keep the wandering beach hawkers from bothering anyone laying out. I've never heard of being charged to use the beach facilities at a beach hotel, but the pool area is nice, the grounds are pretty, and I appreciate that a beach towel is provided for use.
