Hotel Cala Di Lepre (****), Bay of Arzachena, Sardinia

The **** Cala di Lepre Park Hotel is an ideal choice for nature lovers. Enjoying views of the Costa Smeralda and the Isle Of Caprera, it is built on a hillside descending to the sea amidst a background of rich and fragrant Mediterranean macchia and wild countryside, home to many small animals such as hares and tortoises. It is a perfect spot for walks and treks on horseback. The famous Roccia dell'Orso, a huge wind-sculpted bear-shaped rock is just a few hundred metres away.

The small sandy Cala di Lepre beach is between 300 and 700 metres from the accommodation and many other beautiful beaches are just a short drive or boat trip away. There is a free shuttle bus to the village of Palau, 3 km away; Olbia is 38 km away.

There is a large seawater pool with lovely views overlooking the bay and a poolside snack bar with a scenic terrace. A new feature of this recently refurbished hotel is the DEa Marina Spa. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing massage or Thalassotherapy treatment outdoors in harmony with the sweetly scented surrounding nature. The spa has a multifunction pool with heated seawater and hydro massage. There is a sauna, a Turkish bath and a gym as well as special cabins for different treatments and massages (beauty, anti-age, anti-stress etc).
