My family and I have just spent the last week at the Forte Village, Sardinia for the first time. The village concept is interesting and quite different to other resorts. It is secluded within a large site. You will do a fair few steps on your stay, which we all liked, it took us a few days just to navigate ourselves around. This maybe a slight issue for older or less mobile visitors. Our villa rooms where nestled amongst tropical gardens, very private and always kept spotless, as were all the common parts. The staff in general were always curtious and professional. The most dissappointing aspect for us was the lack of things to do or organised activities. As others have mentioned, the various activities have to be paid for. Even table tennis! The hourly rates are extraordinarily high. There were no group sessions of any kind whilst we were there in early September – though we were led to believe that they only run these in July / August. So, if you are happy to spend your days by the pool or the beach and maybe visit the gym (for free!), and in the evenings go for dinner and a walk afterwards before heading back to your room, this resort would suit you. The places you could go to after dinner ie the bars or the main entertainment area hardly had any one there, and as such lacked atmosphere. We had paid for half board for our stay. The food in the Cavalier buffet was generally reasonable, and the breakfast at the Villa de Parco fairly basic, but okay. I should mention a few names for both positive and negative service. A special mention for Giovani at our reception who always greeted us with a friendly smile and did his best to help. Another special thanks to Gianni, whom served us every morning at breakfast, a genuinely kind and helpful man. Our only negative experience was at the reception to the health suite / gym. We found Alisia’s general demeanor to be unnecessarily passive aggressive, making us feel unwelcome and always nitpicking about something or another whenever she was there. Finally, I would really have liked to have some clarity on exactly what is included in the half board package and what you will have to pay for. This also applies to the activities. You could easily rack up a large bill if you opt in for the usual holiday resort daily pursuits. Whilst the check-in process was easy, we were only handed a file and a resort map with no further explanations, this would have been an ideal time to provide transparent information as outlined above.
