Hotel Santa Gilla, Capoterra - Sardinia

The hotel enjoys a quiet location near the Santa Gilla lagoon, famous for its flamingos that live here all year round and gather in their thousands to breed in spring. The hotel complex is well maintained and pleasantly manageable in size, offering a garden, swimming pool and lounge bar for relaxing holiday days away from the crowds. At the same time, Cagliari can be reached quickly – ideal for a stroll through the city, dinner in the historic centre or an excursion to Poetto Beach.
At the heart of the property lies the approximately 190 m² pool area, surrounded by lush greenery. The pool has a maximum depth of 1.40 metres and several hydromassage areas. Sun loungers and parasols are available around the pool. From June to September, light dishes, drinks, cocktails and snacks are served here. In the late afternoon, the lounge bar becomes a lovely spot for an aperitif overlooking the pool.
The beach of Maddalena Spiaggia is about 650 metres away and can easily be reached on foot. Although this long sandy beach is not among the island’s most spectacular, it slopes gently into the sea and is therefore particularly suitable for families. At the Cayo Loco beach club, hotel guests can rent sun loungers and parasols for a fee. During the season, there is also a bar, restaurant and several water sports options including SUP, canoeing, pedal boats and inflatable boat rental. Maddalena Spiaggia is also a popular kitesurfing spot.

The spacious rooms are bright, comfortable and functionally furnished. The Classic Rooms are located either on the ground floor with patio or on the first floor overlooking the Mediterranean garden. They measure approximately 24 to 29 m² and can be booked with a double bed or twin beds. Some rooms can accommodate an extra bed or baby cot, and several Classic Rooms are also adapted for guests with reduced mobility. For families, Classic Rooms are also available for up to two adults and two children up to nine years old.
The Superior Rooms are slightly more spacious and offer views of either the Santa Gilla lagoon or the pool. They feature a balcony or patio, while some ground-floor rooms provide direct access to the garden surrounding the pool. The Family Rooms consist of two connected rooms, each with its own bathroom and patio or terrace. They are ideal for families of up to six people and combine privacy with shared living space. The Junior Suites offer a separate living area, a large terrace overlooking the lagoon and the Gulf of Cagliari, as well as a bathroom with bathtub.

Between lagoon, sea and the beaches of the south coast, there is always something to do. Start the morning with SUP or canoeing on the water, spend the afternoon kitesurfing or swimming in the sea – around Capoterra, life revolves around sunshine, wind and the Mediterranean. Those who prefer staying on land can stroll along the flamingo-filled Santa Gilla lagoon, enjoy an aperitif in Cagliari or hike through the wild landscapes of the WWF nature park Monte Arcosu with its forests and panoramic trails. The ancient ruins of Nora and the lively seaside town of Pula are also just a short drive away.

Perfect for anyone looking for a well-kept hotel close to the beach in southern Sardinia, but without staying right in the middle of the tourist crowds. Hotel Santa Gilla is especially suitable for couples, families and round-trip travellers wishing to discover Cagliari, the lagoon landscapes and the beaches between Capoterra, Pula, Chia and Villasimius.
