Map & location
Cannigione, Sardinia, Italy
Hotel Stelle Marine sits in a peaceful pocket of countryside just outside Cannigione on Sardinia’s north coast, a region known for its granite headlands, hidden coves and glass-clear sea. The hotel is spread over low-rise buildings surrounded by flowering gardens, a short distance inland from dazzling Mannena beach, with views towards the La Maddalena archipelago on clear days.
Cannigione itself is a former fishing village turned relaxed seaside town, with a marina, promenade and a handful of gelaterias, bars and trattorias – easy to reach by short taxi ride or hire car. From here, day trips to secret beaches, boat tours to La Maddalena and drives along the Costa Smeralda are all on the cards.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The hotel’s pool scene is deliberately low-key and peaceful. There are two outdoor freshwater pools framed by lawns and flowering shrubs:
• An adults-only pool with integrated whirlpool, surrounded by sunbeds and parasols – a lovely spot to disappear with a book and simply soak up the Sardinian sun.
• A separate children’s pool with its own sunbathing area, so families have space to splash without disturbing those by the quiet pool.
Sunloungers and parasols are provided by the pools, and the season typically runs from April to mid-October.
Down at Mannena beach – a sweep of pale sand and amazingly clear water – Hotel Stelle Marine has a reserved section with sunbeds and parasols dedicated to guests, giving the sense of a private beach area while still enjoying a natural public bay. It’s one of the best spots around for lazy swimming and paddle-friendly shallows.
Spa, sports & wellness
Hotel Stelle Marine is about slow, simple Sardinian days rather than a long list of high-octane activities. Evenings often feature live music, from early-summer sets to a more occasional programme outside peak dates, lending a soft, convivial buzz to the bar and terrace.
Around the property you’ll find:
• Daily and regular evening entertainment with live music (programme varies seasonally, sometimes in Italian)
• Spacious gardens and shaded terraces for reading or an afternoon spritz
• Reserved beach area with loungers and parasols at Mannena
While there isn’t a full spa or gym on-site, concierge staff are on hand to help with local excursions, boat trips to the La Maddalena archipelago or onward exploration along the Costa Smeralda if you fancy seeing more of the island.

Food & drink
Days at Hotel Stelle Marine tend to revolve around the light-filled main restaurant and its outdoor terrace, where you can linger over breakfast, lunch and dinner overlooking the gardens. Expect a relaxed mix of Italian and international dishes, local seafood, fresh salads and an appetiser and fruit buffet in the evening when you choose Full Board.
Two bars keep drinks and snacks flowing: the lobby bar for a pre-dinner aperitivo or post-dinner digestivo, and an adults-only beach bar on Mannena beach (seasonal), perfect for a chilled drink between swims.
Board-wise, Bed & Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board options give you flexibility – ideal if you want to dine out in Cannigione some evenings or keep things easy on-site. A smart-casual dress code may apply in the restaurant at dinner, and reservations or supplements can vary by board basis.
