Stefania Boutique Hotel
Pittulongu | Sardinia
⭐⭐⭐⭐
This intimate, family‑run property brings together classic Sardinian character, a peaceful pool scene and easy access to one of the island’s prettiest white‑sand bays.

Location | Stefania Boutique Hotel
Location
Pittulongu is one of Sardinia’s classic low‑key beach spots, just up the coast from Olbia. A string of white‑sand coves scallops the shoreline, backed by casual seafood trattorias and beach bars. Stefania Boutique Hotel sits a short stroll from its own private beach area and from Spiaggia Pittulongu itself, so you can move easily between pool, lounger and long lunches by the water.
It’s an easy base for exploring the northeast: hop on the local bus to Olbia for harbourfront gelato and shopping, or drive out towards the Costa Smeralda for yacht‑filled marinas and glamorous beach clubs, then retreat to the hotel’s quieter, more traditional setting at the end of the day.

Facilities and Rooms | Stefania Boutique Hotel
Restaurants and Bars
Mornings begin in the dedicated breakfast room with a continental buffet that leans into Italian favourites – freshly baked pastries, cold cuts, cheeses and good coffee to set you up for the day.
Come evening, the star of the show is Nino’s Restaurant, a refined but relaxed space that’s been singled out by the Michelin guide. Expect Sardinian and Mediterranean dishes built around local seafood, olive oil and seasonal produce, served either in the dining room or on the terrace. A smart‑casual dress code may apply (no beachwear at dinner).
There’s also an indoor bar and a pool bar (usually open 09:00–21:00) so you’re covered for espresso, aperitivi and post‑dinner drinks without leaving the hotel. Reservations and supplements may apply for some dining options depending on your board, and opening times can vary by season. What All Inclusive typically includes.
Pool Areas and Beach
The heart of the hotel is its outdoor freshwater pool, framed by lawns, palms and terracotta‑tiled terraces. Sunbeds and parasols create a calm, intimate space for reading or snoozing between swims, while two outdoor Jacuzzis add an extra touch of indulgence after a day exploring the coast. Pool facilities can vary by season, but the general vibe is unhurried and peaceful.
Down at the shore, Stefania Boutique Hotel has access to a private beach area* on Pittulongu’s white sands – typically available from around mid‑May to September, weather permitting. Expect sunbeds, parasols and shallow, crystalline water that’s ideal for relaxed swims. It’s a simple but very Sardinian setup: turquoise sea, powdered sand and views across the gulf towards Tavolara Island.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
If you like to balance lazy beach time with light exercise, there’s a small gym* on site (usually open 08:00–18:00) for simple workouts. For deeper relaxation, book a massage or beauty treatment at the spa*, generally open 09:00–18:00 (hours and services can change with demand and season).
Day‑to‑day essentials are taken care of by the reception team, who offer concierge services and luggage storage and are happy to help with local tips – from which nearby bay is best on a windy day to booking boat trips, wine tastings or restaurant tables in Olbia.
