COVID-19 Protocols

We are pleased to confirm that this hotel has put COVID-19 protocols in place to ensure compliance with the regulations introduced by the Italian government in order to ensure the maximum safety and security of its guests which is detailed below.

The measures introduced will apply to both the facilities provided by the hotel and its services to guests.  Their implementation will be closely monitored and controlled in order to ensure the heathiest environment in which guests can continue to enjoy their holiday in the confidence that their risks to exposure to the COVID-19 virus is at a minimum. 

We must point out that the implementation of these measures may result in minor changes to the facilities available and certain services offered by the hotel as described on our website and in our brochure and we therefore invite our clients to contact us if they have any concerns or queries in this regard.

Clearly the changes in practices and availability of facilities may result in a difference to the guests’ experience as would otherwise be the case, although a reduced number of clients may actually result in a better service being afforded to guests.

The Local Area

Situated between the mountains and the electric blue sea, approximately 105km south of Olbia, Cala Gonone is a gateway to visit the Gulf of Orosei and the 12km dramatic, unique and natural coastline including the stunning beaches of Cala Luna and Cala Sisine.

It is an ideal spot for divers, walkers, climbers and nature lovers to explore this unspoilt area with cliffs plunging into a deep sea of extraordinary beauty encompassing grottos and small coves with fascinating rock pools and secluded beaches. Yet there is the mountainous interior also to discover with rare examples of native flora and fauna, lakes and waterfalls, grottos and canyons, as well as the traditional villages known for cheeses, wines and handicrafts.

The town of Cala Gonone is approximately 1km downhill from Hotel Brancamaria and has a good selection of shops, café bars, gelaterias, restaurants and pizzerias and the tourist port with boat trips to access the beaches and coves along the coast.

Huw's View

We are delighted to introduce Hotel Brancamaria to the Just Sardinia Holiday Collection to offer both families and couples a modernised hotel in Cala Gonone with swimming pool.  It is 1km from the town but there is a free hourly hotel shuttle. 

This is a really stunning area of Sardinia to explore by boat with unspoilt coves, beaches and cliffs plunging into electric turquoise sea. There are many activities available locally including biking, climbing and trekking from the mountains down to the beaches. 

After visiting Cala Gonone numerous times, I would highly recommend this for an active holiday, quite different from anywhere else in Sardinia. 

Car hire essential for accessing Cala Gonone.
