Lavezzi Arcipelago, Corsica hotel rooms at the Independent

"Our stay at Sandalia Boutique Hotel in Sardinia was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome — everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with recommendations and anything we needed during our stay. The level of service really made the experience special. The hotel itself is beautiful, stylish, and very relaxing, with a wonderful atmosphere throughout. One of the highlights every morning was the continental breakfast, which was exceptional. There was a great variety of fresh pastries, fruit, cheeses, coffee, and local products — all beautifully presented and delicious. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we would happily return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a charming boutique hotel experience in Sardinia"

"Truly a once in a lifetime experience! We came all the way from the U.S. and loved every bit of our stay here. From the location to the staff, everything was excellent! You are located in Cannigione, so it’s very walkable. You can walk to the beach, grocery store, little shops, and tons of restaurants. The service is 5 stars. They clean your room daily, they are very respectful and treat you like royalty. Overall we hope to come back in the next few years with our kids!"

"Highly recommend and will be back. Beautiful grounds and plenty of parking on site. The pool was large and had nice area for sitting out and relaxing. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning. Located close to most communities with restaurants and beaches all around. "

"Santa Giulia apartment was absolutely amazing such a beautiful view. It had everything you needed clean and great breakfast.. many little trails to walk down to the beach and they will come pick you up with a golf cart. The hostess were all so very kind and helpful. I would stay here again 100% five stars!!"

"Hotel clean and functional, but rather dated as other reviews mention. Plenty of secure parking available on site off-season. Pool area looked okay, but didn't take advantage. Breakfast not of great quality, and breakfast supervisor man rather hostile and peculiar, overly protective over his seating arrangements with multiple guests being relocated having sat at the "wrong table"."

"Great staff central position"

"Nice area. Walkable to the main area of town or beach."

"Amazing hotel service was great "

"The hotel was stunning and staff were lovely—we were even upgraded to a beautiful Laguna room with direct pool access. However, we visited in mid-October and were disappointed to find most nearby places already closed for the season. The hotel had only one restaurant open with limited options and very high prices (€162 for two pizzas and a bottle of rosé). We tried exploring Baia (20 minute walk) and Porto Cervo (10 minute taxi, costing €40 each way), but both were mostly shut down. Even online listings showed places as open, which was misleading. By Day 4, we decided to rent a car, which was more cost-effective than taxis. We had room service once for lunch, but most days we relied on the nearby supermarket (about a 5-minute walk). They had fresh rolls, meats, and cheeses, which we brought back to our room. It’s a real shame there wasn’t clearer communication about the seasonal closures. The area is stunning, and we would have loved to experience it at its best. Had we known, we definitely would have chosen a different time of year to visit!"
