Here’s a Place to Stay That Won’t Break the Bank

by Max Hartshorne on May 3, 2008


This is the Hotel Arathena, a jewel in the Costa Smerelda town of San Pantaleo. While many of the fancy hotels that line the beaches go for $500 or $700 per night, this gorgeous place is just $70-140 euros per night including breakfast and dinner.

It’s light and airy, and the restaurant called Trattoria Balbacana served up some of the best food we had the whole trip. The beach is just ten minutes down a winding road, and there’s a cute pool up on top of this staircase.
