Hotel Residence Porto San Paolo

You’ll find Hotel Residence Porto San Paolo, a pocket-sized town on Sardinia’s north-east coast. It’s the perfect place to escape to for some well-deserved relaxation, and equally isn’t far from the heart of the action. There’s a string of bars and restaurants within a stone’s throw of the property, and the beach – Spiaggia di Porto San Paolo – is within a 15-minute wander.

Days here revolve around the water. There’s a rectangular outdoor pool to dip into up on the roof, and it’s edged by glass walls to make the most of the sea views. A team of loungers and parasols mean sunbathing sessions are sorted, or you can hire bikes from the hotel to explore the local area on two wheels. The hotel’s bar offers drinks and light bites – as well as a buffet breakfast – if you don’t fancy heading out.
