One of the most scenic and romantic places we’ve ever stayed. This charming pension is nestled among rolling hills and fields, offering breathtaking sunsets and a truly serene, peaceful atmosphere. The views are unforgettable. A special thank you to our host, Francesca, whose exceptional care and problem-solving skills truly made a difference—her warm presence elevated the entire experience.

We had a lovely stay and truly appreciated the exceptional views and the exceptional hospitality. The peaceful surroundings made it a perfect retreat to unwind. That said, the accommodations are quite simple, and families with children might want to note that there are no specific facilities or entertainment options for kids. Although our 7 years old loved the place and Francesca has organized some beach toys for him, that really made him very happy. Overall, a great choice for those seeking serenity and natural beauty.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property in Sardinia. Everything was perfect – the towels were changed daily, the breakfast was absolutely phenomenal, and the whole atmosphere of the place was so peaceful and rural, exactly what we were hoping for. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was Francesca. She is an exceptional host – incredibly warm, genuinely hospitable, always smiling, and full of such positive energy that you can’t help but feel at home around her. Francesca went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy during our entire stay. This was honestly one of the most enjoyable trips and best accommodations we’ve ever experienced. We left with our hearts full and can’t recommend this property – and Francesca – highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay at Alba Barona! Already upon arrival we were received super warmly and welcoming by Francesca and we were given many tips for local beaches, restaurants, etc. The owner and staff were really kind and helped us out with any questions. The atmosphere was familiarly. Our room was perfectly clean and equipped with anything you need (e.g. air conditioning, fridge, hairdryer). The place is located approx. 15 minutes from Olbia, so it is very peacful and calm but at the same time close to the City and the Airport of Olbia. We very much enjoyed the stunning and beautiful view from the main terrace over the mountains and the sea, where breakfast is freshly prepared by the staff everyday. It was a really wonderful experience, we totally recommend it! Thank you Francesca for everything. We will be back for sure.

Staying here was a truly special experience. Nestled in nature, with breathtaking views of the mountains and the sea, it’s the perfect place for anyone looking for peace, quiet, and a break from the crowds. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and charmingly decorated, and the whole atmosphere feels warm and authentic. But what truly makes this place stand out is Francesca – the heart and soul of the entire property. Her warmth, kindness, and attention to every guest make you feel instantly at home. She alone is reason enough to visit, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Francesca, for everything! ❤️

We had such a fantastic stay at Alba Barona! From the moment we arrived, Francesca greeted us with the warmest welcome and made us feel right at home. She shared tons of great tips for local beaches, restaurants, and things to do. The place has such a relaxed, friendly vibe that we loved. The sunsets were amazing and it was so lovely to be woken up by the sound of cockerels at sunrise. Our room was super clean and had everything we needed, including air conditioning, lovely toiletries and great wifi. The location is perfect: about 15 minutes from Olbia, so it’s really peaceful and quiet but still close to the city and airport. We visited a stunning beach that was a 20 minute drive called Casa Sardina. One of our favourite parts was enjoying breakfast every morning on the main terrace with an amazing view of the mountains and sea. The chef prepared everything fresh, and it was the best way to start the day. We had a truly wonderful experience and can’t recommend Alba Barona enough. Huge thanks to Francesca for making our stay so special—we’ll definitely be back!

We recently spent 10 days in one of the lovely chalet/bungalows, set in beautiful grounds overlooking the sea and mountains. This is such a lovely, peaceful location, a perfect base for exploring but safe in the knowledge you have somewhere beautiful to return to after your day. We would frequently sit under the stars in the evening after returning from a meal out with a bottle of wine - bliss! Francesca was the most attentive and wonderfully quirky host, enormously helpful with restaurant bookings and recommendations (turns out we were both foodies so we were in good company!) including a local boat tour which was fantastic. Breakfasts are not to be rushed, sat on the long veranda musing the day ahead whilst enjoying a delectable spread of fresh fruit, breads, meat and eggs with fresh coffee is the way every day should start! We hope to return one day.

Nothing! The location is around 1mile from the main road, mostly on dirt track but it is easy to navigate. We even saw a wild tortoise!

The property is located in the mountains which is very peaceful and has beautiful views to the surrounding hills and the sea. The guests stay in small houses with two neighboring accommodations. The room and bathroom are very clean, beds are comfortable and the rooms are equipped with a small fridge, which is truly useful. The breakfast is rich and delicious, you can expect local cold meats, cheeses and bread, accompanied by zucchini frittata, yoghurt and fruits, eggs and croissants. Francesca is the perfect host, caring for all details and highly professional, at the same time warm and personal. Highly recommend to anyone looking to step away from the noise, wanting to relax and explore various beautiful beaches in the Costa Smeralda and Golfo Aranci area.

Would have been nice to have a simple dinner available as an option, just prepare for driving 15-20 mins to a restaurant or buying something from a grocery shop.

Excellent hospitality, service, facilities and breakfast on a stunning rural property with beautiful panoramic views. Accommodations are all two-unit stand-alone cottages which are well spaced out for optimal privacy on the large property. Francesca was very kind and always happy to answer questions, provide advice and to meet any of our needs. She spoke excellent English and was a true professional. Breakfast was outstanding and plentiful! We were extremely happy with everything!

Everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at Borgo Alba Barona. The location is fantastic set on a hillside with a view stretching to the sea and over the surrounding hills. Easy to get to with a rental car, last few hundred metres are a reinforced dirt track that if driven slowly (as recommended) was even managed by our renault twingo. Francesca was really helpful in providing information regarding our stay and always very prompt to any queries. Our room was very large and spotless, air con, big comfortable bed and clean bathroom with good shower. The most memorable part of the stay here was the breakfast. Personally served by Francesca who somehow manages to serve everyone the most wonderful breakfast (meats, cheeses, fruit, yoghurt, eggs and coffee) whilst also providing beach and restaurant recommendations. We had a wonderful stay and the place stands out as very well priced in what is an otherwise expensive part of sardinia.

Leaving

We had an absolutely delightful stay at this accommodation! Francesca was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The room was cozy and comfortable, with a breathtaking view that truly enhanced our experience. The breakfast provided was nothing short of perfection, featuring locally sourced ingredients that added an extra touch of flavor and authenticity. We couldn't have asked for a better start to my day. Overall, I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. Can't wait to return!
