The hotel food is excellent. Room large with beautiful view. Peaceful garden area for pre/post dinner drinks. Hotel staff attentive but not intrusive.

A hotel for guests that want to explore the island (beach 30 mins away) and have a peaceful location to return to at the end of the day.

The Pausania Inn located just outside the town of Tempio Pausania is clean, spacious with friendly staff and good food. Every room has an Air Con which in the hot summer months you will need, a shower with plenty of hot water, a television with SKY albeit there are few English speaking channels available. However, there was no kettle or small fridge in the room.
The restaurant is large and spacious with English speaking waiting staff who certainly in my view were hard working. polite and provided an excellent service. Breakfast is provided and to cater for the numerous nationalities who use the hotel there is plenty of choice, from cereals and fruit, scrambled eggs, cold meats to pastries and biscuits There is a lunchtime menu available providing snacks and alcoholic beverages as well as as other drinks. In the evening the choice of food was either from a fixed menu consisting of a two/three course meal for 18Euros p/p, depending on what you want to eat or an a la carte menu with more variety.
There is a large clean swimming pool which after a day out in the sun is a welcome sight, but guests should be aware it is also open to locals.
One day a large group of well behaved local teenagers arrived at the pool occupying almost every sun lounger. When hotel guests later turned up many were unable to find anywhere to sit.
If you are sociable person looking for more to do in an evening this hotel might be too quiet. While we spoke to fellow Brits we found the Italian tourists spoke very little or no English and tended to socialise between themselves.
The town of Tempio has plenty of bars but surprisingly we struggled to find a restaurant, which might suggest why the hotel guests choose to eat in the hotel.

We spent 2 1/2 weeks traveling around Sardenia in the early part of July. I chose Tempio Pausania because as our one inland town. And then I was sorry that I did. The beaches and towns are so spectacular all around the coast, that this destination just did not seem worth the time it took to get there. The town itself is full of charm and not touristy at all, and a wonderful place to sample true Sardinian specialties.
However, I found Pausania Inn to be pretty soulless and rather just practical. I was missing the beautiful flowers and flowering trees and shrubs that landscaped all the other hotels we stayed at in Sardinia. There wasn't an inviting bar or lounge area for a pre-dinner drink. And the room decor was U.S. motel-style at best.
I go for charm and style over functionality any time!

This Hotel was absolutely lovely, it was set back in the mountains so was very quiet and relaxing. The Rooms were big and have little balconies overlooking the cork fields which was very pleasing, although the walls are quite thin and unfortunately we had a crying baby next to us for the last 2 nights but the rest of the time it was fine. A lot of the staff spoke English and very very helpful and approachable.

Its just outside the little town of Tempio, a charming town with lots of character, a few bars and few restaurants all scattered around a central square, lots of pizzas!!the only downfall was getting back to the hotel after dinner- the only way back is along the very windy main road where there are no pavements and no street lamps so pitch black! which, as a result made us drive the town for dinner rather than walk the 1K,

The closet beaches are a 40 minute drive away but the roads are windy so its quite tiring, its definitely worth a visit to the beaches a little further away too like Santa Teresa, beautiful.

I would definitely stay here again, its lovely to have a bit of both- beaches and mountains, and very relaxing.
