Our stay at Nascar Hotel was exceptional from beginning to end. As someone who teaches hospitality in New York City and travels frequently, I don’t say this lightly—I was genuinely amazed by the level of customer service and hospitality we experienced here.

Every single person we encountered was warm, welcoming, and sincerely friendly. The service felt genuine, not scripted, and everyone made us feel truly cared for.

A very special thank you to Louisa at the front desk. She is truly one of a kind! Her kindness, warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm made such a lasting impression on us. Before our boat trip, she even surprised us with a cooler bag to take with us for the day—a small gesture that perfectly reflected the hotel’s thoughtful and caring approach to hospitality. She is exactly the kind of person every hotel hopes to have representing them.

The rooms are lovely, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Breakfast was another highlight, with delicious fresh options and eggs prepared à la minute, exactly the way you like them.

The restaurant deserves special recognition. The food was outstanding, and I absolutely loved that the wine list exclusively featured Sardinian wines. It was such a thoughtful way to showcase the island’s incredible wine culture, and every bottle we tried was fantastic.

Nascar Hotel perfectly captures the warmth and charm of Sardinian hospitality. As someone who teaches hospitality, I left truly impressed. This is exactly how genuin

Lovely hotel with an interesting long history! The two sisters and cousine running it, will tell you all about it with charme. We loved our room, spacious and well airconditioned. The restaurant is one off the very best in the area. The beach club has free beds and umbrellas but watershoes are recommended as the pebbles gave me sore feet. The views of the small rock formations in the sea are rather stunning. Be aware of the undercurrant in the water. People have died here from swimming out to far. A lifeguard is present.

Excellent!!! It truly exceeded all my expectations. The attention from every member of the staff was outstanding. The room was beautiful, with a private balcony. The breakfast was prepared with 100% natural and fresh ingredients. You're just 50 meters from the beach, where they offer beach service (beach chairs, loungers, and umbrellas) included. Tip… make a reservation to eat at the restaurant!!!

We simply loved the Hotel Nascar.
Laura greeted us when we arrived and looked after us throughout our stay, even when we had some hire car issues!
The room we stayed in was beautiful with local supplies it was spacious and we were impressed with the history of the building.
The restaurant has an excellent choice of fresh fish and local food so we needed up eating there for most of our stay. It’s also located close to the beach and a short walk for boat trips to Cala Luna. Definitely worth staying here if you’re in Sardinia.

Not only was the food excellent, but the service here was superb, which more than made up for some features that this small, sustainable hotel did not offer. The owner/operator arranged for a dinner reservation (and much appreciated transfer) at a mountaintop agriturismo high above Baunei. Thank you, Nascar Hotel staff!

Wished we could've stayed longer

A great 3 night stay at the Nascar Hotel - we only wished it was longer. Beautiful room with private terrace. Fantastic service - Laura the concierge really goes above and beyond. Great breakfast including eggs made to order.
Close to a stunning beach where guests of the hotel have free use of the sun loungers. Santa Maria Navaresse is a great base if you want to explore the area either by boat or hiking.
Highly recommend this lovely little hotel.

Breakfast was EXCELLENT.... I am lactose intolerant and was very happy to see other dairy options on the menu and also vegan croissants which I have not been able to enjoy for many years.
Nothing was a problem at this hotel. Would absolutely recommend to anyone (maybe not for families with small children)

Perfect honeymoon destination

This was so much more than a hotel, it was a beautiful historic slice of this town. The building is beautifully kept and charming, remodeled to feature characteristic wood and decor of the region. The staff was exceptionally kind and went out of their way to help us navigate the local attractions, and book a fantastic boat tour we’ll never forget. Breakfast each morning was off the charts delicious with home grown fruits and veggies, their own homemade goat cheese and yogurts, pastries, and more. Freshly squeezed juices. All in the house. And since this was our honeymoon trip, I was very happy to also find that the bed was a true king, Not two twins pushed together. Everywhere else we’ve been in Europe has had a divided mattress. I’d highly recommend and stay again anytime!

Has such a great time at Nascar hotel and the lovely village of Santa Maria Navarrese. The hotel is very close to a beautiful beach where the hotel also provides you with deckchairs and an umbrella. Breakfasts consists of a big selection of fruits, bread, pastries, fresh juices and cheeses. Add on top of that freshley cooked eggs and omlettes, run by very professional and friendly staff. Spotless and clean rooms. Highly recommended if in the area.

Gem in the heart of Santa Maria Navaresse, Baunei

Excellent stay at this charming hotel, which is perfectly located in the best part of Santa Maria Navaresse, with a private beach and ideally situated for Baunei adventures. The restaurant is also very nice. The owners Stefania & Claudia are incredibly helpful and friendly, August is the busiest time of year and yet they always made time for us and gave us incredible recommendations, often times helping schedule both restaurant reservations and activities. On our last day Stefania kindly arranged a boat ride with Patric who partners with the hotel and it was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Stefania & Claudia and Patric the wonderful staff at Nascar. We left feeling like we made some wonderful new friends. Hope to see you another time soon!

Wonderful little spot

Really wonderful little hotel in small town near the sea. Friendliest staff we could imagine. Went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, we have a three year old and they treated him and us like royalty. Restaurant was great too, very good local seafood and reasonably priced for very high quality. We only stayed on night on the way from South Coast to north, wish we had stayed longer!

A boutique experience

Small family run hotel with friendly and helpful staff. In the centre of SMN and close to the beach with free access to towels, sun loungers and umbrella.

Authentic rustic vibe throughout and with a fragrant hint of myrtle. No onsite parking but plenty of space just outside hotel.

Nice outside dining area for reasonable breakfast and with excellent onsite restaurant for alfresco dining.

Nothing was too much trouble for this family run hotel. They organised everything from boat trips to making sure we had loungers and towels for the beach ( less than 5 mins away).
Breakfast was a treat - everything from fresh fruit to home made cakes and dinner of salt baked fresh fish simply scrumptious! Will do it again. Thats for sure !!

Lovely room, very close to beach, nice breakfast

Had a really nice stay, and the staff were absolutely lovely. We were upgraded too which was great! One niggly problem with the air conditioning turning off at night - every night, although it's not impossible that was my stupidity. But I just couldn't get the thing to work, although the woman downstairs was able to turn it on remotely one time. Great location, v close to beach as well as being able to get boat trips out to other AMAZING beaches along this STUNNING coast line. I would definitely come back.

Cozy and full of character + super friendly staff

Great service from all staff. An old building beautifully refurbished, with a great feel to it. The restaurant and patio are great, good dinner service and breakfast. The town of Sta Maria is a great base for exploring the beautiful calas. The only thing is that the \"sea view\" that they say their rooms have is not really that - more like a glimpse of the sea in one corner of a window.

Excellent hospitality

Claudia and Stephania made us feel very welcome in this small and well maintained hotel. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel during our four night stay. Food was of good quality but limited options for vegetarians (As in most Sardinian hotels and restaurants). We had the benefit of a patio with our room at the back of the house. This was a welcome feature. We will most definitely return if we are in Sardinia again.
