Description
Framed in a charming early 20th-century setting, Palazzo Santa Caterina opens its doors as the only historic reception palace located in the center of Dorgali.

Immersed in an enchanting place just a few kilometers from the sea, surrounded by the unspoiled landscapes of Sardinia that offer unique views, scents, and flavors throughout the year.

The structure still preserves the charm of that era. It takes its name from the adjacent church, Santa Caterina D'Alessandria, the most important religious building in Dorgali, which still maintains the traditional tolling of the hours with the chimes of its ancient bell tower.

The noble palace has recently been renovated, paying attention to every detail of the period. The accuracy of the spaces makes it a versatile structure capable of meeting the needs of every customer.

The rooms are furnished with prestigious furniture, artworks, and craftsmanship, all important and valuable complements. Inside the structure, there are two quadruple rooms with private bathrooms, connected to each other through an internal door, but at the same time, each room has private access from the outside. There are also two other rooms with private bathrooms.

Every guest can access the following common areas:
- Kitchen equipped with dishes and various utensils, hob, and fridge.

- Terrace: a large equipped terrace for outdoor dining, with a barbecue area, overlooking the historic center of the village where breakfast can be served.

- Fireplace room: a large elegantly furnished room used as a breakfast and lounge area, where our guests can enjoy the rich family library.

- Lounge: dominating the structure is a spacious relaxation room with prestigious antique sofas, characterized by artistic stained glass windows and ancient mosaics.

A few kilometers away, it is possible to reach the tourist resort of Cala Gonone, a small village directly on the sea, consisting of a tourist harbor from which various ferries can be taken to visit the coves and caves (Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine, Cala Goloritzè, Grotta del Bue Marino, and Grotta del Fico). The beaches of Cala Gonone, such as the central beach, Palmasera promenade, "Sos Dorroles, S'Abba Meiga, and Ziu Martine", can be reached from the house in just a few minutes. Instead, 5 km away, you can visit the beautiful beaches of Cala Cartoe and Osalla di Dorgali.

This territory is rich in archaeological sites. Not to be missed are visits to the villages of Serra Orrios, Nuraghe Mannu, Gorroppu, the Nuragic village of Tiscali, the Ispinigoli caves, and the aquarium, with the conclusion of the visit to the archaeological museum. In the village, it is possible to taste typical Sardinian products (suckling pig, hams, sausages, cheeses, ravioli, gullurgiones, seadas) or fish-based dishes thanks to the presence of renowned restaurants. The village of Dorgali is famous for its filigree work, ceramics, carpet workshops, leather goods, dairy, and social winery, and it is rich in popular traditions.

I stayed with my daughter at Palazzo Santa Caterina where we had a short but truly pleasant vacation. The palace is very elegant and well-maintained, with well-kept rooms and clean bathrooms, abundant and exquisite breakfasts complemented by the kindness and efficiency of Mrs. Gianna who every morning baked two different and always delicious cakes, then setting up all kinds of goodies on the tables. Also, very beautiful is the panoramic terrace where we pleasantly relaxed in the evening, surrounded by the suggestive backdrop of the village illuminated like a nativity scene.

Very beautiful, refined but at the same time very comfortable structure. The shared terraces offer stunning views and the kitchens are clean, tidy, and well stocked. Really comfortable beds. The staff is welcoming and kind and the breakfast, delicious, is served by a girl who bakes fabulous cakes. The only drawback is the parking, being in the center sometimes it's hard to find a non-paying parking spot. Otherwise, the location is great. I highly recommend it.

Kindness, availability, and cleanliness are characteristics that are not lacking in this structure from the '20s. A reference to recommend in order to have an important foundation on which to build moments to spend in the area. Willing to sign the petition to demolish (with sympathy..) the "bell ringer".

Palazzo Santa Caterina is beautiful and pleasant, breakfast served in a nice hall. But 100 euros for one night in a tiny room without even a bathroom (which we had in a private corridor) is definitely too much. Very kind staff. Structure in a very inconvenient position to reach the sea. Located in a village where there is nothing. To have dinner or go to the sea it's at least 8.5 km of curves. Too expensive. In similar places you spend 60 euros for one night.

The answer from the host:
Buon giorno Signor Marcello la ringrazio per la sua prenotazione e per il tempo che ha dedicato alla sua recensione, ci interessa sempre sapere il parere dei nostri clienti. La struttura è pubblicizzata su Dorgali, con frazione turistica Cala Gonone in 10 minuti di auto arriva al mare. Le ricordo che lei per 100 euro ha prenotato una camera la settimana di ferragosto, camera di 20 mq con bagno privato accanto alla camera. Impossibile, mi scusi se mi permetto, trovare una camera a Dorgali la settimana di ferragosto a 60 euro. Le ricordo che Dorgali, anche se non apprezzato da lei è un piccolo paesino ricco di tradizioni popolari, con un bel centro storico nel quale gli artigiani locali aprono le loro antiche botteghe ai turisti. Per cenare abbiamo diversi ristoranti. La ringraziamo.

Structure positioned in the center of the town. Courteous staff. Excellent breakfast. The website states 'cala gonone' as the location, instead it is located in the center of Dorgali, a bit inconvenient.\nUpper floors without an elevator.
stayed from 08/20/2019 to 08/22/2019
The answer from the host:
Buon giorno Aldo, vi ringraziamo per la prenotazione e la vostra recensione. Vi ricordo che se fate la ricerca su Cala Gonone in automatico esce come paese anche Dorgali essendo Cala Gonone frazione turistica di Dorgali. Da Dorgali in 10 minuti di auto arrivate a Cala Gonone. È stato un piacere avervi nostri ospiti. Vi aspettiamo nuovamente nella nostra struttura Grazie Staff Palazzo Santa Caterina.

Amazing place, wonderful atmosphere, great staff! Loved staying there in the original furniture, stunning view from the terrace. Lamps, window panes, tiles, dishes, decoration... everything is genuine from the 1920s, beautiful and top quality. Beds are very comfortable. I do recommend the place. Do not miss it if you go to Dorgali.
