Test highlight The excellent dinner in the pan-Asian gourmet restaurant Kento.
The one-hour drive from Cagliari to the Falkensteiner Resort Capo Boi along the old coastal road with its countless bends and spectacular views is an experience in itself. The former Grand Hotel Capo Boi, an elegant white building in Moorish style, was already a five-star hotel in the 1960s, one of the first in southern Sardinia at the time. VIPs used to meet here and enjoy the legendary "La Dolce Vita". In 2016, Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences took over the hotel, completely redesigned it and opened it as the first Falkensteiner Premium Collection Resort for families.
The activities program for children is correspondingly extensive. There is a kids and teen club, a soccer summer camp and a petting zoo. Surrounded by parkland, the resort with its own beach, infinity pool and spa is located just a few kilometers from the town of Villasimius. A spectacular underwater world is waiting to be discovered right in front of the hotel. Our room impressed less with its view of the children's pool, playground and stage than with its Mediterranean ambience and large four-poster bed. We missed an espresso machine in the room and water. The bathroom is minimalist and, apart from the separate toilet, is open to the living area. One annoying feature is the underpowered hairdryer, whose power button you have to keep pressed all the time.
The main restaurant Artigiani offers breakfast and dinner in buffet style. There is plenty of choice and the service is very friendly and attentive. At lunchtime, crispy pizzas and salads are served by the pool. Right next to it is the gelato cart of Marco Serra from Turin - the Michelin star among ice cream makers. Be sure to try it - simply heavenly! You don't even have to leave the Falkensteiner Resort Capo Boi for gourmet cuisine. In the Asian-inspired Kento (for an extra charge), right on the beach, delicious creations with ingredients from Sardinia are served in collaboration with South Tyrolean star chef Theodor Falser.
