Hotel Caramare

Hotel Caramare is a three-star beachfront hotel in Cala Gonone, a small coastal town on Sardinia's eastern shore tucked between the Supramonte mountains and the Gulf of Orosei. The location is the defining feature here: the hotel sits directly on the lungomare, with the sea immediately accessible rather than a short walk or shuttle ride away. With a rating of 9.1 across over 860 reviews, it consistently earns its reputation as a reliable base for exploring one of Italy's more remote and rewarding coastlines.

The surrounding area rewards guests who come for the water — boat trips to inaccessible coves, snorkeling, and hiking trails that drop down to the sea. Cala Gonone is not a resort town in the conventional sense; it is small, quiet out of peak season, and better suited to travelers who want direct contact with the landscape rather than organized entertainment.

Guests checking in from 13:30 have time to settle before an afternoon on the beach, and the early 10:00 check-out suits those planning a full day on the water before driving on. The highly rated breakfast gives families — the hotel has dedicated family rooms — a practical, unhurried start before the day's activities begin.
