Poltu Quatu, in the province of Olbia-Tempio on the north-east coast of Sardinia has had a highly successful summer season with very high occupancy rates. Poltu Quatu, from the Gallura dialect for "hidden port", is a small fishing village with a wide range of activities and services on a natural fjord of wind-sculpted rocks on the Costa Smeralda coast, facing the Maddalena Archipelago.
Rooms, suites and 66 apartments in the new The Reserve unit
The heart of the village is the Grand Hotel Poltu Quatu, which opened in 2002 and is styled like a typical fishing village. An oasis of peace and tranquility, it has 143 rooms and suites, 66 The Reserve apartments, restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, a wellness and fitness center, a private beach, tennis courts, new padel courts, and a congress center. On the nearby promenade there are boutiques, restaurants and a bar at the private Blue Flag Marina dell'Orso tourist port, which has 305 berths and related services.
Ending the season on a high note
We are happy with the results so far and will close the season on a high note - said Rafael Torres, ceo Girama Hospitality Management, which is managing Poltu Quatu this year in collaboration with associated companies -. Both the owners and the staff played a vital role in the success of the season at such a difficult time, making Poltu Quatu an exclusive point of reference for the Costa Smeralda.
Italians, but also European and American guests
From its opening at the end of May up to the closing scheduled for 10 October the number of visitors has almost doubled over last year with an average stay of 4/5 days and with a prevalence of couples.
