Santo Stefano Island, La Maddalena hotel rooms at the Independent

"Loved our stay at the resort. Staff was wonderful and the resort is beautiful. I'd upgrade the toiletries as they were very average for a 5* resort and a hair dryer was something you'd find in a 3* hotel. These are minor things though, we had a wonderful time and would come back. Staff was also incredibly helpful and attentive."

"Amazing stay at Grand Hotel Cannigione. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel feels very quaint and boutique-like, quiet. Breakfast every morning was great. They have a private shuttle to and a reserved area at a nearby beach which was stunning. Would love to come back again!"

"Nestled into the side of a hillside, the views were spectacular. The restaurant and pools were wonderful. The hotel is big enough to offer all key amenities, but small enough to feel uniquely personal and private."

"The hotel is idyllically located, all of the best shops and hotels are right outside your hotel. The complimentary water boat to the island is absolutely stunning. It was the most peaceful & clean experience. The hotel was very clean , the staff at the pool & beach were so friendly. The service and location are 5 stars, the accommodationis slightly more "

"Wonderful location and terrific service and food. Enjoyed a lovely pool and spa. Only issue is lack of drawers. Didn’t need much but needed to put some clothes in a desk drawer "

"Room was extremely clean. Air conditioning was great! Staff was very attentive and helpful. Food was great and nightime entertainment was the best! No complaints "

"Very good hotel, really enjoyed our stay here. Booking in was professional and efficient. Pool area and gardens were lovely to sit out in. Room was high standard, we had a small issue with the electricity going off, but the staff sorted this. My only gripe is that although I appreciate two free bottles of water a day, for a hotel doing that to every room is so much wastage. Install a filtered water machine in the corridor, everyone has a bottle these days. So much wastage and would make the hotel more eco friendly. "
