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.

The owners have put a lot of thought in to the running of this establishment. The food is excellent, service exemplary, rooms very good value. Tempio town itself is picturesque and there are many attractions a short drive away. Very highly recommended. We have now stayed twice and will return again next year.

We booked a 4 night stay and like many other reviewers we arrived at the Pausania Inn with high hopes. Arriving at 11pm isn't the best time to assess your new surroundings but just seemed OK. We had arranged some food due our late arrival and plates of hams, cheeses, breads melon etc were brought to the room .. fantastic with a cold beer mmm.
Next morning (and every other morning like most people) we had the breakfast which was fine, unfussy but don't expect a huge choice. One tip: ask for an espresso / capuccino at breakfast and they'll make you the real deal (free) otherwise you'll be having the filter stuff. This was followed by an hour or 2 relaxing at the beautiful pool which was clean and well looked after admiring the great views of the surrounding mountains.
This was followed by a trip into the local supermarket to put together a picnic to take to the beach. (The supermarket is hidden away on the left going into town). It's 30 mins drive down to the nearest beach and then from there within 10-15 mins a great selection of fantastic beaches which even in July were not packed out.
The room was perfect for us, with air conditioning and comfy beds overlooking the pool. The staf made sure that all our needs were met. For example our room did not have a minibar. We told them that the reviews and their website mentioned a minibar and within an hour an empty fridge was provided (perfect for what we wanted ... who uses minibars for anything else?)
Overall the hotel is very quiet and peaceful, a car is definitely necessary and Tempio the local town is worth exploring as there are some lovely bars and a couple of restaurants to enjoy. By the end of the 4 nights we loved the place and left feeling peaceful and fully re-charged.
