Map & location


Li Cuncheddi, Sardinia, Italy

Calacuncheddi Hotel is tucked into the go-slow coastal hamlet of Li Cuncheddi, just south of Olbia on Sardinia’s north-eastern shoreline. Here, emerald and turquoise waters lap a quiet sweep of pale sand, backed by low Mediterranean scrub and granite rocks – a favourite spot for snorkelling and sunset walks.

With car hire usually included, you’re well placed for easy day trips: wander the colourful piazzas of Olbia, hop between nearby coves like Porto Istana, or head further to San Teodoro’s long, photogenic beaches. Back at the hotel, the ambiance remains unhurried and secluded, ideal for unplugging.

  • Approx. transfer time from airport 20 minutes with car hire from Olbia (OLB)

Pool & outdoors


An elevated outdoor freshwater pool forms the heart of the hotel, edged with sunbeds and parasols and enjoying dreamy views over the bay. A shallow children’s section makes it easier for families to dip in together, and complimentary pool towels are provided.
