Location & Access

Lu' Hotel Riviera is in the village of Carloforte on San Pietro Island, 100 km from Elmas Airport in Cagliari. The hotel is near the ferry dock and beaches. The surrounding area has colored houses, narrow streets, gardens, and a square called Piazza dei Rotondi. The hotel provides access to the old part of the village through a white stone arch in Via Solferino. It is near the remains of old walls built to protect the village. You can reach Carloforte from Cagliari by driving along the SS 130 towards Carbonia-Iglesias and following signs for Portovesme or Calasetta to take a ferry.

Lu' Hotel Riviera offers free Wi-Fi.

Breakfast is served from 7 AM to 10 AM. Late check-out is available until 4 PM (subject to availability).

“In my opinion, the hotel's modern aesthetic and ideal location near the ferry dock are strong points, though the execution seems inconsistent based on what I've explored. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, but I question whether the overall experience lives up to its potential as a boutique destination. I'd hoped for more attention to detail.”
