Resort Baia Cea

This is a lovely and unusual place. There are about 20 rooms/chalets spread about green and colourful gardens with a decent sized swimming pool and a main Reception building where breakfasts and meals are served either indoors or outdoors depending on the weather. The breakfast bar was quite extensive and should cover all tastes (we loved the plain but delicious omelette). You needed to book in for the set dinner every day although the menu printed at Reception didn't always reflect what you were given. This didn't really matter as the food - mostly Sardinian specialities - was always well cooked and delicious. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had a patio area with chairs and lounger. The staff were all very sweet and very helpful. Carmen, the lady who runs the hotel, was absolutely charming and made us always feel very welcome and a friend. Like this part of Sardinia in general there is very little English spoken (Daniel on the Reception Desk was one of the few exceptions) but it is part of the fun of a holiday trying to get by as best you can with a very few words of Italian and sign language! The Hotel is in a rural environment and the sound of the hundreds of sheep bells as the flocks moved about is something I shall remember for a long time. However, it is also very close (couple of minutes drive or a 12 minute slow walk) to the lovely Cea beach. We had a lovely holiday and can really recommend this Hotel.
