Breakfast

In the heart of Italian culture, breakfast is a special moment, a tradition with deep roots. The classic Italian breakfast is a ritual that involves authentic and genuine flavors. As the day begins, it kicks off with a cup of aromatic coffee or a creamy cappuccino. Alongside this warm and invigorating beverage, you'll often find a delightful croissant or a small Sardinian pizza.

The croissant, sweet and lightly flaky, is often filled with jam, chocolate, or pastry cream, offering a variety of options to satisfy personal tastes. The Sardinian pizza, on the other hand, is a small culinary masterpiece, an explosion of Mediterranean flavors that awakens the palate.

The perfect accompaniment for this breakfast is a glass of fresh, crystalline water. This communal moment, with the scent of coffee lingering in the air and the irresistible taste of Italian pastries, is a delightful way to start the day.

Dear travelers,
I introduce myself, I'm Roberta Sanna, owner of Residenza Le Scalette.

I like being able to meet the needs of the traveler, whether visiting for leisure or business, foreign or Italian, or loyal customer for the first time in Cagliari.

Share with you the beauty, charm and flavors of our city has always been our philosophy.

We looking forward to give you best welcome from Cagliari!

What guests say

The accommodation is particularly praised for its central location, close to the harbour, station, and main attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Cagliari. Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness, spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, and the calm atmosphere despite being in the city centre. The friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts—often named Michele and Roberta—are major pluses. On the downside, breakfast is sometimes considered basic, especially when served at an external café, and the absence of a lift, with several stairs to climb, may be inconvenient for those with large luggage or mobility issues. Overall, excellent value for money and a welcoming ambiance.

Pleasant stay in a beautiful,clean and very centrally located property. The apartment is on a high floor with access to a lovely terrace. The host and cleaning staff were very kind and helpful,even after checkout.

The air conditioner needs to be cleaned inside: between the slats there is a buildup of dust and debris visible from above. It also smells slightly of dust when the air conditioner is on. Otherwise the accommodation is fine. The host is always reachable online when needed. Breakfast (only 1 croissant or 1 pastry + 1 coffee) must be taken in a partner café about 10 minutes away.

The structure is very clean and well-maintained. The staff and the owner are kind and helpful. The breakfast is good. It is located in the center and is convenient to the train station. The only downside: on the second floor without an elevator, it is not convenient for those with large luggage and mobility issues.

The house is completely run-down from the outside. Even the garbage man couldn't believe it was a hotel. Breakfast had to be taken outside. Per person only 1 croissant, 1 coffee, 1 glass of water and nothing else! Apart from the cleaning lady (in the morning), who handed us the room key, there was never anyone there and even at check-out there was no one present. The room was thoroughly cleaned and was also very quiet. Everything worked in the room and at this price, everything is okay. The residence is totally unsuitable for older people or for people with disabilities. To access the residence, you have to tackle 50 steps and there is no lift. In this heat, it is a feat!

Everything is good, everything is beautiful. One flaw (for us) was the breakfast: one day we were served croissants that were clearly from the day before. We didn't complain to avoid unnecessary discussions. I would reconsider the agreement with another bar.

stayed from 05/21/2025 to 05/23/2025

angelo

Positive points: Nice and clean structure in a central location managed with high professionalism and courtesy. Negative points: Room on the second floor without an elevator and breakfast to be consumed in a nearby bar with only one hot drink and one sweet item (frankly, I could have done without it). There is no parking and it is in a ZTL area, so you have to park in a paid area about 300 meters away or rely on luck for a free public parking space.

The room is okay for sleeping, the view from the window is only on a ventilation shaft. However, the location is perfect in the heart of the city, the cleaning is very good, daily thorough cleaning, but the toilet/bathroom smells a bit like sewage (probably due to the sink drain). You can skip breakfast (crackers and 2 rolls for 3 days on the table), better to go to one of the nearby cafes. The owner is not on site, but is easily reachable by phone.

Roberta was the host of this place, and she took great care of us from the beginning to the end of our stay. Thanks to her, I was able to organize a surprise for my wife’s birthday and arrange activities in the city. The location is perfect, right in the lively city center, yet on a very quiet street. The room has real charm and is equipped with everything you need, including an efficient air conditioning system! We highly recommend this accommodation for a stay in Cagliari. Thank you again Roberta for everything!

The 'Residenza le Scalette' is very well located in the heart of the historic center. The breakfast is mediocre, it consists of just a coffee and a viennoiserie; if you want another coffee, you have to pay for it separately. Considering the price of the breakfast, I don't recommend it. I was surprised to see that there's never anyone at the reception, it's something that should be addressed; I was planning to ask for a lot of information.

Everything was perfect. The location is strategic and very good, right in the center of Cagliari 100m from the square. The internal structure and the furnishings are tasteful and new. The room is spacious and has a small balcony with a table where you can take a breath of air or smoke. Very clean with a large shower. There is also a common area where you can eat something quickly. I am super satisfied and recommend it. Furthermore, the person who manages it is very friendly and helpful.

What can I say, beyond the old gate opens up a whole new world: excellent structure, new, clean and just a stone's throw from the center and the harbor, in 5 minutes you can reach anywhere. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and always ready to meet our requests. Also excellent is the idea (which I had never tried) of the breakfast ticket at the bar just a 5-minute walk away.

Residenza Le Scalette is located in the historic Marina district close to the harbor, only a few minutes to the central train and bus station and near a lot of Cagliari's sights. I stayed for 4 nights and everything was perfect! The room was clean, nicely decorated, well heated (I stayed there in December) and had a water kettle and a little fridge. I picked the Italian style breakfast with croissant, fresh fruit and cappuccino - there would have been some more options to choose - and I enjoyed it a lot! Michele is a wonderful host, very helpful, friendly and fluent in English. He provided a lot of information about where to go, what to see and where to eat in Cagliari. I can absolutely recommend this place.

Air conditioning could be a little more effective and the breakfast is fine if you don't like it too heavy. Maybe you could miss something to eat like eggs or cereals which are more substantial.

Really welcoming and kind host. From the outside, the building is not the best looking but don't stick to that, the reception area and the room was looking quite new, with beautiful furnitures and the bed is like a cloud (soft mattress).

The room and the service are perfect. The big problem is the breakfast on Sunday. You have to go to a bar and it's not good at all. Only one cup of coffee and just one croissant. And if you want something else you have to pay extra. Terrible.

stayed from 06/03/2022 to 06/05/2022

The answer from the host:
Der M. Ghislaine Thanks for review and stay at Residenza le Scalette. As talked about, the breakfast at partner café, which is only option available on Sunday and holidays, it's result of a compromise. There're several bar near us, but the partner one is the only open 365 days, from the earliest time (5:30), so to give opportunity to take something to guests who need leave early, well spotted (few minutes from us and on railway station and airport way as well). The café offer cannot be various like the breakfast in our guesthouse, of course. The choice, also by virtue of the price, is that of the classic Italian breakfast. So sweet. With a hot drink, the choice of a fresh pastries and a glass of water. This is clearly stated in the information sent at the time of booking and then verbally upon delivery of the tickets to use the service. Any addition or extra to this menu is obviously counted. part and is charged to the customer. Best regards, Michele
