Hotel Grading
All accommodation is graded under the local Sardinian system, which differs from that of the UK. Hotels can vary within the same star rating as they do in the UK.

Hotel Facilities

Some advertised hotel facilities might not be available or fully operational in the early or late part of the season, depending on the number of guests at the hotel or weather conditions (eg air conditioning may not be turned on in low season and additional restaurants may not be in use). Accommodation facilities are subject to change at the management's discretion. We will endeavour to inform you as soon as possible of any changes that may affect your holiday, prior to your departure. If you have a specific request for your holiday, we will do our best to honour this. However, a request is not guaranteed and is subject to availability at the time of arrival.

Disability Checklist
We strongly recommend that you complete the ABTA Disability Checklist before making a booking if you have a disability or a medical condition requiring special travel, accommodation or dietary arrangements. The form should also be used to give information regarding specific needs for equipment and/or medication you may have. The questions are not meant to be intrusive and the information you provide will be treated confidentially and will be used only to check that the accommodation, transport and facilities in the destination are right for you.  For more information and to complete a checklist please email admin@sardiniahotelsdirect.com

Self Catering Accommodation

Supermarkets - are found in all towns and are open generally 9am-1pm and 4pm-8pm Monday to Saturday. Remember that they will be closed at siesta time (generally 1pm-4pm) and all day Sunday. Bigger supermarkets with a greater range of products are found in larger towns, some open all day and on Sunday in the height of the summer season. Sardinia has a wide range of local produce but please remember it is Italy, not the UK! Large towns also have a weekly market offering locally grown and produced fruit, vegetables, cheese and meats.

Villas & Apartments - have a minimum of a fridge, hob, sink, storage, crockery and utensils but some will not have kettles, toasters, microwaves or ovens. We suggest that you take with you some basic items such as a tea towel, dishcloth, salt and pepper, washing-up liquid and possibly a travel kettle.

Cleaning & Linen – generally changed weekly.

Money Exchange & Cashpoint (Bancomat)
The currency used in Sardinia is euros. Banks are generally open 8.30am-1.30pm and 2.30pm-3.30pm Monday to Friday. There are Bancomat (cashpoint) machines available outside some banks, which can be used with your UK cashpoint card and usual pin number with instructions available in English. Please note that the hotels are unlikely to change traveller's cheques but do accept most major credit cards.

Local Assistance in Resort
SardiniaHotelsDirect.com do not have resort representatives.  For help and guidance please ask at your hotel/apartment reception or villa owners. We do provide a 24 hour emergency contact telephone number, which will be given to you at the time of booking.
