Gallicantu Stazzo Retreat

Fantastic location what a shame for the expensive poor meal ….. after spending 95€ per person we went for a pizza…. We asked for extra food also paying extra but the waiters never gave us an answer…….

My partner and I just finished our stay with Gallicantu and we have been left extremely disappointed. The service provided or lack there of was disgusting, there was no one there to assist us with our bags upon arrival and departure and we were thus made to carry our luggage through gravel paths and up flights of stairs. There are a number of issues with this stay and I will now start to highlight them. As we are paying around $500 per night for this stay a certain level of service is expected. Marco the host was extremely rude and unhelpful, every interaction with him seemed as if we were being a hassle and putting him out with simple questions. Our rooms were "cleaned" daily however not once during our stay were we provided with clean towels or a change of linen for the bedding. At our all inclusive dinner for $50pp we were charged for water at an added cost. Our first breakfast meal my partner had the cats jump on her and the table/food numerous times, as she is allergic this is not acceptable at all not to mention highly unhygienic. As advertised on website there is a sauna, there is no cost shown or mentioned yet we were charged upon check out for using this included service. Also upon check out we were hit with numerous add ons that were explained in Marcos words as "little bits and pieces" yet upon further examination from my partner we discovered we were being charged for other guests meals and drinks that we had not consumed or purchased at all. Had we not picked up on these "little bits and pieces" we would've incurred a full charge of around $200 euro for other guests purchases. Also we had asked whether there was a washing machine just for a simple load of washing, Marco said he would arrange this for us with no mention of cost or additional fee, then as we checked out we were informed that the washing now costed us $99 Euro this is completely unprofessional and unacceptable as no fee was discussed prior and there was no breakdown of costing for the washing, we were just expected to pay for this service that has randomly been costed. Had Marco simply explained prior when we had asked we would have not gone through with the washing. Nothing was dry cleaned it was just a simple wash and dry and the cost of this is simply disgusting especially just being blindsided with it at checkout. The fact Marco also tried to slip the "little bits and pieces"past us as well has left a very sour taste in our mouthes. All in all our stay at Marcos "retreat" couldn't have been further from what was advertised. All in all I would recommend NOT staying here.

Wow! This place is wonderful. Marco is the proud owner and we felt really privileged to have found it and enjoyed such a wonderful stay. My daughter and I enjoyed our cookery lesson. The breakfast and dinner were both home cooked and delicious. One of the best places we have ever been Thank you! For anyone looking to get away from everything for a few days in a beautifully designed environment a visit is a must!

From the moment we arrived at the Gallicantu Stazzo Retreat we were blown away with the beauty of the grounds. The location of the retreat is simply stunning with the most beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. We had the pleasure of meeting Marco and Raphaela along with their two adorable little kittens who stole our heart instantly. Our room was spacious with so much natural light and incredibly thought out architecture. The four course tasting menu was simply delicious, and breakfast was divine using such fresh ingredients thank you Veronica! Everything about the retreat was luxurious, from the pool towels to the ice creams and coffee machine by the pool. It’s safe to say if we ever return to Sardinia we will absolutley be returning to the Gallicantu Stazzo Retreat and will hasten to reccomend to all our friends and family! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Very difficult to describe with simple words. There are places around the world where you feel like an actor entering in a perfect set and Gallicantu is perfectly organized to give this feeling. We stayed at Gallicantu only one night and a full day during a week long holiday in Sardegna and it was tough to leave. Nice staff, shoutout to Laura and Veronica fpr the professionality and kindness, great accommodations with unique style and strong territorial character, only local food and ingredients. A fairytales location We will go back as soon as possible.

We have just returned after 7 days in this beautiful place. Pure understated luxury. Everything about this accommodation is perfect. The location is stunning! Food delicious, staff very friendly and the owners are very welcoming. We will be back!

My husband and I have just come back from a 6 day holiday at Gallicantu. We enjoyed it so much, we hope to come back many more times in the future. Gallicantu is beautiful, tranquil, heavenly. If you need a little pause in life, this is where you come. Naturally Sardegna is gorgeous but to have ultimate relaxation, you don't really need to even leave the premises. You will be made to feel right at home.

The property is really beautiful and well designed. We signed up for their tasting menu on two occasions and were a little disappointed in the food. The dinning area is stunning but you can’t choose what you want to eat so unfortunately we didn’t really love what was offered. Knowing the menu ahead of time or the ability to choose from a few options would have been much appreciated. We were never told the price of the prefix menus either and were a little shocked upon checkout. Just a heads up

Gallicantu is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at. Marco has created a masterpiece. The grounds are extensive and lovely, encouraging wandering around. It is isolated but it's a place you are happy to stay.
