Hotel Summertime

“Better than expected”

It’s nearly 3 week that we come back from Sardinia and spend our last night in SummerTime Hotel. We were quite concern about some comments on Trip visor over this hotel. But the location suited very well into our Tour schedule. So we give it a chance. Indeed, this is a family hotel in which with few people the run an hotel. Comparable as a B&B. Location: At the arrival and on the map you think this B&B its far from the center… but byfoot would be 15 to 20 min by car only 5…that it’s in fact very near. Overview: For those for which is very important to be attend in each part of the hotel for a different person and does not understand the meaning of a Entrepreneur and one owner company, this is not your hotel. The hotel looks like in the photos, Reception, communal Areas and rooms are new, clean and proper decorated. Building well take care of and clean. Bathroom big and clean. Shower: nice full water, quickly heated. Towels: nice, new, clear and nice smell BED: clean, nice mattress quite new. (I did not like the printing of the bedspread, in my opinion, not really fitting with the other modern decoration, but further than that was new and clean) Bed sheets: the textile feels like cotton, clean. Breakfast: Italian breakfast, for those who does not know what that means… and you are diabetic! Bring your own food. Sweets, bread and nice coffee (a freshly baked croissant were truly delicious). Served on the small bar/restaurant from the building. Not really luxurious, but all together it’s a good start form the day. Personal: family business, all people very kind and helpful. No complaint about it. Parking: enough parking, free. Neighborhood: outside the center, in front of the Flamingos lagoon. Family leaving area, not dangerous at all. Save feeling. Outdoor garden: Indeed the garden needs extra work, but since went on autumn/winter, I can really judge how it would look during summer, when actually you can really enjoy the swimming pool area. Conclusion: If you don’t “dream” on receiving a 6*’s goods for the price of a Good B&B, then you will have a good chance of like this Family running business.

“Recommended for a short stay!”

The best thing was that manager was very polite, helpful and always available. The hotel itself is modest, but it has most of necessities. It is situated a bit far from the downtown, about 25 - 30 minutes walking distance, and far from bars, restaurants and the Cabras amenities. I would recommend i… more

“Fawlty Towers”

I'm not really sure where to start but I'll have a go as I'm still laughing at our experience.

I'm not really sure where to start but I'll have a go as I'm still laughing at our experience. Rosanno is the owner of Summertime and does try his best but don't expect this hotel to be run like the Ritz...... it isn't. If you want coffee for breakfast order it the night before as it MIGHT just be ready for you and hot, breakfast itself was fairly hit and miss and although we didn't complain others did. It was pretty basic and not what I'd expected with just bread and jam and croissant (1 each) on offer. After a couple of days the fruit juice appeared, the Americano was mostly warm and rarely hot the same can be said about the Cappucino. There is great potential for this hotel but Rosanno must get the pool sorted out, provide pool side cover and get the gardens finished, have someone at reception or close by 24/7 as I saw many arriving guests have a long wait to check in he also lost potential guests by not being there. Hire competent staff, provide a decent seating area with tables, chairs and umbrellas and provide a bit of complimentary hospitality to long stay guests. Our room was without a TV and Fridge for 2 days until someone vacated another room we then got there's. The shower was OK but the water didn't drain quick enough so there was a bit of a flood. We had to remind the cleaning girls to change the sheets but the day before we left one of the bedside lamps disappeared! The location is excellent for Torregrande or Pontile beaches and Cabras. There is a Pizza restaurant in the hotel serving pretty good food and another further down the road toward Cabras. Oristano is a 10 minute drive away, well worth a visit. Overall, staying at Summertime was an experience and if Rosanno does get round to making improvements I'd stay there again. 7/10
