Petra Segreta Resort & Spa

A nice 5* experience!!- we would love to come back! What a Beautiful place. We stayed 3 nights in deluxe room with sea view and good privacy! However, Make sure your reservation for the hotels two restaurants are confirmed before your arrival - they charge 48Euro to drive you 2 km to San Pantheleo. (each way) We did make our reservation in advance but they did not sign us up for the restaurants so one evening we ended up with room service which was 20euro plus 35 Euro for each cheese burger. But at least the view was fantastic. All Drinks were 25 euro and did not include snack. We really missed a free shuttle to town- or at least for a fair price. Road to the hotel is dangerous with many blind angels so we recommend transfer arranged by the hotel. It was 110 Euro to the airport in Olbia. In spite of high prices we will definately recommend this hotel. What a nice experience! We would love to come back

Petra Segreta is a beautiful gem, hidden away on a windy street near a small town. The hotel consists of a series of buildings that are cleverly placed in the landscape so as to maximize the views of the hills and water. The rooms are on the smaller side, but they were perfectly comfortable and well appointed. We were in room 301, which has a private terrace with a killer view. We indulged in a spa treatment here, and the massage therapists did an excellent job. If you are driving there, the road in can be a bit tight, especially since it seems to get a decent amount of truck traffic, so be careful on the turns. The hotel is about 5 minutes away from San Panteleo, which is a very nice town with good, affordable restaurants and excellent shopping. It is a little further from the many amazing beaches in Casta Smerelda - about a 20 minute drive. If you don't need to be on the water, and you appreciate a quiet mountain setting, Petra Segreta is a great choice. One minor comment - the staff are all very young and don't have the knowledge or service skills that we might expect from a luxury property. They were all extremely nice and did their best to be helpful, but we were a bit disappointed in how much they seemed to struggle with some pretty ordinary inquiries. This did not mar our experience there, though - we had a wonderful time and really appreciated the beauty of the property.

Little wonderful place on a hill in the countryside. Staff is amazing and tries to fulfill all your wishes.
Highly recommend also the food in the two restaurants. The chef is a magician and knows what he is doing.

In July of 2024, we stayed for 4 nights at this Relais Chateaux property. Beautifully maintained surroundings and landscape. Relatively small property offering privacy with the bungalows set throughout the property. Buildings themselves are designed to blend with nature and appear as been there for quite some time. Housekeeping is fairly good, though the same cannot be said about the maintenance. Our room, which is one of the newer ones, had a malfunctioning lock which was fixed relatively quick, though not being able to enter our room after dinner late in the evening was not very pleasant. The leaking shower handle was never fixed, even though we brought it to the staff’s attention on several occasions. The villa we stayed in offered gorgeous sea view and had a small splash pool, a welcome respite at the end of the day and also a good way to start one’s morning. We also got the opportunity to use the spa services and unfortunately came away rather unimpressed with the quality of massages, both for myself and my spouse. It definitely could use improvement in all areas: poor technique, no offer of water to drink before or after, the treatment rooms are adjacent and open at the top thus allowing sound from nearby room. Breakfast buffet is limited in healthy selections, though has a wonderful array of deserts and fresh juices. I would like to see other choices for protein other than processed meats: boiled eggs, smoked salmon. Also, additional selections in fresh vegetables would be very welcomed.

Restaurant dinner service is ok. Staff, for the most part, was very pleasant and accommodating, though efficiency in service is lacking. Every evening when we would come for dinner, the hotel receptionist would lead us to the waiting area and then no one from the restaurant would come to seat us. I would usually wait for 5 to 10 minutes and start pacing around to get someone’s attention, on some days it worked and on some days my wife would simply march into the restaurant and request to be seated. Again, not a big deal, but for a R&C property it is a somewhat irksome experience. We mostly dined at the Osteria and found the menu, though limited in choices, rather enjoyable. The chef does like to put way too much salt into almost every dish, though we were told that is a Sardinian tradition. However, given that most of the guests are not local, perhaps the overindulgence with salt can be reconsidered by the chef. Overall, Osteria was a lovely experience though management’s decision to seat the guests on the roof terrace on windy days perhaps can be reconsidered. It does get quite chilly in the evening, even in June.

In summary, I would say that this is a lovely place to spend a few days and we would not hesitate to return nor would we hesitate to recommend it.

Charming Boutique Hotel with a great restaurant. The property is set up in the hills and has great views. Rooms are OK, our friends had to change rooms as it was dark and noisy but our room was good. The charm of the place are the common areas of the hotel where you can find a notch and chill out. We were there for 3 days before going on charter and it was a great place to acclimatize ourselves to Sardinia. Restaurant was very good and service was great. Breakfast was perfect with a mixture of healthy and filling. Wine list if good. Make sure to have a digestive Mitro after dinner or a spritz before. If you get a chance, walk into town and have a traditional plate of flat bread and cheese. The walk is for the fit..

Romantic and Peaceful
Stayed here for our anniversary AND my husband’s birthday. Our room + the restaurant was spectacular, as well as the service. The views and area around the property are amazing and the entire time we stayed here, we were just extremely happy. WHAT an overall experience.

We had a first class experience here with a suite with a stunning view of the sea and the spectacular mountains that surround the resort. All staff were helpful. The pool was heated which made it easy to swim even as the weather cooled unseasonably for September.

I agree with what many have said; this is a 4-star hotel amidst 5-star grounds/common areas and terrific food. The staff is kind/well-meaning, but not polished as per a true 5-star experience. It's an unreservedly lovely experience, but adjust your expectations accordingly.
