Forte Village Resort - Villa Del Parco & Spa

Although I have been playing tennis with my coach in Los Angeles for almost two years the amount of knowledge and technical skills I got after training with Coach Mateo at Forte Village is incomparable, his way of breaking down the movements and technique is so perfect!!! Mateo is an amazing coach! I highly recommend anyone visiting Forte Village who is interested in improving their tennis skills to book training sessions with coach Mateo!!

One of the greatest moments for our 2+4 family. Eveything was perfect, starting from rooms, excellent service (Alessandro and reception Ladies are very kind and helpful), food and all of entertainments. We went there for 10 nights and never bored and didn't even try everything. What to do with 4 kids - it's simple prescription: a litlle bit of great, intimate breakfast for start, then pinch of beach with sea water, or perhaps some diving lessons for kids (one of our child wants to be a diver now! btw: great polish speaking teacher) adding some lunch - and there is first problem what to choose? Solutions is easy - every day something else - we got used to go to Beachcomber, Tiki Bar, Pizzeria, Fish Market (our favourite - regards to signore Roberto), kids restaurant, but there were a lot of more choices. After that some Aquapark or one maybe some pool - everyday some other off course. Than a little bit of bowling? Why not? Oh no, its starting to be late and we will go for a dinner now. Another problem - where? Like before - every day different: Brasiliano (regards to signore Roberto again), Sardo, Forte Grill, Cavalieri (i think our favourite), Bellavista and a lot of more. Time for nice, late walk around green Forte Village and sleep now. I've forgot about GoKart, Kids Club, all the sport activities, riding by buggy all the time and a lot of things. Hope to come here again.

3 words: luxurious, personal and inspiring. A big thanks for all the staff in Forte Village to make our experience unique. I recommend ristorante Belvedere in Villa del Parco to have the best quality dinner with superb chef and very friendly Maitre. We will come back

My family and I have just spent the last week at the Forte Village, Sardinia for the first time. The village concept is interesting and quite different to other resorts. It is secluded within a large site. You will do a fair few steps on your stay, which we all liked, it took us a few days just to navigate ourselves around. This maybe a slight issue for older or less mobile visitors. Our villa rooms where nestled amongst tropical gardens, very private and always kept spotless, as were all the common parts. The staff in general were always curtious and professional. The most dissappointing aspect for us was the lack of things to do or organised activities. As others have mentioned, the various activities have to be paid for. Even table tennis! The hourly rates are extraordinarily high. There were no group sessions of any kind whilst we were there in early September – though we were led to believe that they only run these in July / August. So, if you are happy to spend your days by the pool or the beach and maybe visit the gym (for free!), and in the evenings go for dinner and a walk afterwards before heading back to your room, this resort would suit you. The places you could go to after dinner ie the bars or the main entertainment area hardly had any one there, and as such lacked atmosphere. We had paid for half board for our stay. The food in the Cavalier buffet was generally reasonable, and the breakfast at the Villa de Parco fairly basic, but okay. I should mention a few names for both positive and negative service. A special mention for Giovani at our reception who always greeted us with a friendly smile and did his best to help. Another special thanks to Gianni, whom served us every morning at breakfast, a genuinely kind and helpful man. Our only negative experience was at the reception to the health suite / gym. We found Alisia’s general demeanor to be unnecessarily passive aggressive, making us feel unwelcome and always nitpicking about something or another whenever she was there. Finally, I would really have liked to have some clarity on exactly what is included in the half board package and what you will have to pay for. This also applies to the activities. You could easily rack up a large bill if you opt in for the usual holiday resort daily pursuits. Whilst the check-in process was easy, we were only handed a file and a resort map with no further explanations, this would have been an ideal time to provide transparent information as outlined above.

We stayed in Forte Village Resort - Castello II in August for 5 nights (bungalow no 409). Unfortunatelly this hotel is far away from 5 stars. There are many better options anywhere else in the world and if Forte Village wants to charge the prices they do, they need to do some market research and see what their competitors globally offer in return. Comperatively for example to Maxx Royal hotels or One and Only Portonovi this hotel is max 2-3 stars. You have to pay for everything additional - even to rent a bikes. Pools are old and dirty and needs to be renovated. Lifeguard blocks sunbets on Castello swimming pool by putting newsoapers on it for the „special guets” (like in Egypt :) Very often sunbeds are blocked all day and guests never come.. I asked manager (older guy) from the reception the reason they do this and he said that there are some „special guests” that pay more for the rooms and they have priority… he could not understand my anger. The big advantage of the hotel is staff - everyone always have a friendly and helpful attitude. Especially guys from Tiki Beach Bar, Andrea from diving center (fantastic instructor for kids with huge experience and great attitude), Marco from the grill restaurant (he has the potential to be a manager) Hotel defenietely has a grat potential because of its location but it needs to be reorganised and renovated.

Our stay at Villa del Parco & Spa was wonderful, the Hotel is our personal favourite in the Resort, such a nice atmosphere starting from the Spa to the hall itself, so many things to do for kids but also for adults. The staff is so nice and helpful! Planning on coming back next year!
