General Description
Hotel Villa Selene is located on a hill, at an altitude of 700 metres, in a peaceful, woody and panoramic area bordering the spurs of the Gennargentu Massif, within sight of the sea and the beautiful beaches on the east coast of Sardinia (Cea at Barisardo and Orrì at Tortolì). Surrounded by vast woods containing a private natural spring with water flowing from a granitic source, the hotel was opened in 1968 and has been run by the same family ever since. Suitably renovated and refurbished it has 4 main buildings, some of which are communicating. It has 70 rooms with bathrooms, various public areas and lounges with easy access for the disabled. Other facilities include a pool table, a swimming pool, mini golf and a large open-air car park for cars and coaches.
Hotel Villa Selene makes a perfect base for outdoor activities (trekking, mountain bike riding, canoeing, horse riding, climbing and bird watching), for discovering a different and largely unknown Sardinia and for enjoying breathtaking views of its nature, which is still wild and uncontaminated. Guests can spend a day on the "green train" that passes between the mountains and local towns and pauses to allow time for a picnic lunch or lunch in a typical restaurant; or they can spend a day on a boat along the bays of the Gulf of Orosei from Arbatax to Cala Gonone (lunch available on board), which on request will leave passengers in a bay of their choice and collect them on the boat’s return journey.
