And although most of the island is suitable for families (and other kinds of travelers), some areas stand out to me. Here they are:

THE BEST Place to Stay in Sardinia for Families: Villasimius

I am convinced that, when it comes to family trips, nothing beats Villasimius in Sardinia. It is a well-rounded destination with something for everyone to enjoy.

However, the best of it is definitely the beaches. While there are plenty of magnificent coastlines on the island, the one at Villasimius is worth dying for! Also, everything is safe and there are no pebbles but rather thin sand, making it an ideal destination for families with kids.

On top of that, I’m sure all of you will be pleased with the many water activities you can find there, from scuba diving and snorkeling to simply swimming or relaxing in the Mediterranean. Last but not least, there are notable archeological sites in the town which are worth checking out.

All in all, the best place in Sardinia for families!

Where to Stay in Villasimius

Sure, Villasimius is the best area to stay in Sardinia for families and your trip will be wonderful, but that doesn’t mean that picking a hotel isn’t important: actually, it could ruin your entire holiday! Because of this, I have listed here my 3 favorite picks in the town, adapted to your budget:

✅ Best Hotel: Appartamenti Shardana

Out of all the hotels you can find in Villasimius, the Appartamenti Shardana is the ultimate, all-around accommodation.

There, you will live in particularly well-decorated rooms, with a fully equipped and cutting-edge interior. The beds are very comfortable, and the outdoor area is ideal for relaxing, considering how wide it is.

✨ Luxury Choice: Palazzo Michelangelo

For those of you who truly want a comfortable family holiday in Villasimius, I give you the Palazzo Michelangelo, an incredible hotel.

The entire complex is well-designed and pretty spacious, and it features several stunning swimming pools. Besides, the breakfast is exquisite, and the staff is responsive.

💰 Budget Pick: Paraiso Sardo 1

Staying in Villasimius doesn’t mean sacrificing all of your budget, as the Paraiso Sardo 1 goes to show.

In this cozy, lovely, and small guesthouse that gives off authentic, local vibes, you will adore the views, as well as the Sardinian food, served by the hosts each day!

Runner up Best Area Where to Stay in Sardinia with Family: Santa Teresa Gallura

For those of you who are looking for a particularly quiet area to stay in with your kids during their trip to Sardinia, you should have a look at Santa Teresa Gallura. This extremely peaceful and remotely located town is a quaint haven and a safe place for you and your family. You will enjoy all of the quietness you’ve always dreamt of, in a cute little village with narrow streets and tasty restaurants.

While this destination is great for any kind of family, it is most fit for those with kids under 10. The atmosphere is laid-back and relaxing, and the beaches are just amazing. Besides, you could ride a pedalo and share unforgettable memories with your children!

Be wary that, if you’re not into chilling on the beach and relaxing in a quiet piece of heaven, this place isn’t for you, as there isn’t much else to do.

Where to Stay in Santa Teresa Gallura

A peaceful stay could never be successful without a convenient hotel. So, if you want to make sure your next trip to Santa Teresa Gallura is top-notch, pick one of these options, you really cannot go wrong with any of them:

Alternative Area Where to Stay in Sardinia With Kids: San Teodoro

Last but definitely not least on this list is San Teodoro, another very nice pick for a stay with your family in Sardinia. It is a pretty unique destination, primarily thanks to the flocks of pink flamingos it offers: I can guarantee that you and your kids will adore admiring the tall birds in their natural habitat, it is definitely a magical experience!

Aside from that, the entire village is perfect for exploration purposes, as the wilderness of Sardinia is easily accessible. Numerous adventures await you there, so if you’re feeling like hiking or exploring the wild, this is the place to go.

Unfortunately, San Teodoro, just like several other Sardinian towns, is a bit less charming than it used to, be due to how many tourists there can be. How can you blame them though, the village is exceptional!

Where to Stay in San Teodoro

So, you’ve decided to stay in San Teodoro with your loved ones. That is a fantastic idea if you ask me, but you’ll want an equally amazing accommodation. For that, I can help; here are my 3 personal recommendations:

✅ Best Hotel: B&B LE ISOLE

In the B&B LE ISOLE, you will be warmly welcomed by a local host who will help you with tons of recommendations of the best activities in the near vicinity.

You will be served an excellent and fresh breakfast each morning and will have access to a beautiful green outdoor area.

✨ Luxury Choice: AMASEA

If you truly want to treat your loved ones with an exceptional stay in San Teodoro, the AMASEA is for sure the best luxurious accommodation you can find.

It is located right on the beachfront and has a private portion of it, which is fully equipped with loungers and parasols.

💰 Budget Pick: Terre di gallura

Just because the Terre di Gallura is cheaper than other hotels doesn’t mean your family will have to sacrifice their comfort.

In fact, the interior of this accommodation is pretty spacious, clean, and nicely decorated, and the bathroom is particularly modern. Lovely!
