Villa Fanny
Refined Italian country-house calm in the middle of a city. Black-and-white design motifs throughout, antique architectural details mixed with contemporary furnishings, a plush library with fireplace, and an intimate scale that keeps things genuinely personal rather than hotel-corporate.
Ask for a room with exposed wooden beams — not all Comfort rooms have them, but those that do are significantly more atmospheric
Why It Matters
One of the very few boutique properties in Cagliari with a serious garden — over 1,000 sqm — plus an outdoor heated jacuzzi and a top-floor Executive Suite with its own Finnish sauna, hammam, and bathtub. Listed on Tablet Hotels. The family-run hospitality keeps guest scores consistently very high (rated 9.3 on Booking.com).
A restored historic villa sitting in one of Cagliari's most exclusive residential neighbourhoods, with a lush 1,000-square-metre garden that feels wildly out of place — in the best possible way — for a city-centre address. Nineteen individually designed rooms spread across multiple floors, each with exposed wooden beams, restored doors, and natural materials that give the place genuine character. It's within easy walking distance of the Roman Amphitheatre, the Botanical Gardens, and the medieval Castello district, yet the garden makes it feel more like a country retreat than an urban stopover.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Comfort Room
The entry-level room, but nothing cheap about it. At 22 sqm it's cosy rather than cramped, with parquet flooring and full soundproofing. Some units have high ceilings with antique wooden beams and exposed trusses — ask for one of those. Double bed with memory foam pillow top mattress.
Double · 22 sqm
Executive Suite (Fanny)
The flagship room and the reason many guests book directly. Spans two levels at 34 sqm. The lower floor has a living area, walk-in wardrobe, and a complete private mini-spa: Finnish sauna, hammam, and emotional shower. Head upstairs to the sleeping area where a double bed and a standalone bathtub await, with views over the garden. This is the room that justifies the name.
Double · 34 sqmGarden Suite
The hidden gem of the room categories. At 30 sqm it's the same size as a Luxury Room but adds a private Zen garden and a whirlpool bath. Minimalist design with direct garden access — a genuinely special option for couples who want outdoors privacy without going full top-floor suite.
Double · 30 sqm
Junior Suite
A 30 sqm suite with a separate living area featuring a sofa-bed — useful if you need occasional flexibility for an extra guest. Double bed, walk-in wardrobe, and a 40-inch TV. The living area creates a distinct separation from the sleeping space that the standard rooms don't offer.
Double · 30 sqmLuxury Room
Eight extra square metres over the Comfort make a real difference. Some rooms have sloped ceilings and expertly restored ancient stone walls — genuinely atmospheric. All have a 40-inch TV and the same high-quality bed setup. Brighter and more spacious feel than the entry-level rooms.
Double · 30 sqm
Suite
A two-level suite with genuine wow factor. Sleep upstairs with a double bed, a whirlpool bath, and a large shower cabin. Head downstairs to a private lounge — ideal for reading or a quiet glass of wine after dinner. Garden views throughout. Contemporary design with warm furnishings.
