Hotel Club Saraceno Arbatax, Tortoĺ - Sardinia

Hotel Club Saraceno combines the appeal of a traditional hotel with that of a modern seaside resort and holiday club. The Saraceno sits directly on the beach of Arbatax, in the town of Tortolì, on Sardinia's east coast. This is where the warm sea of the Mediterranean and the wild nature of the Gennargentu mountain range meet, forming some of the island's most spectacular scenery.

Hotel Club Saraceno is the perfect choice for couples in search of a relaxing holiday but also for those looking for an active, sport or family orientated vacation. The hotel buildings, a group of small low constructions, are hidden amongst the thick Mediterranean vegetation which borders the soft white sand of Arbatax beach. The interiors of the hotel's bedrooms have been clearly inspired by local traditions. Executive and Deluxe rooms have balconies or terraces overlooking the hotel garden or the sea. A number of connecting bedrooms are available for those travelling with small children.

Hotel Club Saraceno has been designed so as to offer guests the widest possible range of leisure facilities, starting with the beach and all those sporting activities linked to the sea: diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, canoeing, beach volley and sailing. Tennis, aerobics and aqua-gym lessons are also available. This part of Sardinia is ideal walking and horse riding territory, with numerous trekking routes along the coast and, inland, towards the mountains. Those wishing to simply sit back and admire the scenery can board the tourist train to the Gennargentu or join a boat trip along the Gulf of Orosei.

A vacation at the Hotel Club Saraceno is the prefect occasion to savour the delicious food and wine of Sardinia. Breakfast is served al fresco on the hotel's large terrace. The Beach Bar and Bar Piazzetta are popular places where to enjoy a tasty snack or refreshing drink. The hotel's restaurant, with charming portico overlooking the sea, provides a particularly romantic setting at lunch or dinner. Here, guests choose from an enticing selection of regional, local and international dishes, including fabulous fish and meat grills.
