Hotel Le Dune Piscinas

Southwestern Sardinia


Location, location, location. This hotel is all about its prime spot on Spiaggia di Piscinas, one of the best beaches in Sardinia. It's a classic hotel, with understated decor and attentive service, but the reason to be here is to walk out onto that gorgeous stretch of tawny sand like it's your front yard.

The beach is signposted off the SS126 and is most accessible via Ingurtosu and a 9km dirt track. You can also come at it from the north coast on SP4, but two rivers that may require fording block the way.
