Beautiful, peaceful and safe, with stunning beaches, cliffs, walking trails, and a charming little town full of friendly people. We completely fell in love with Portoscuso and are already planning our return next year.
Nice, friendly small town. with picturesque harbour and seafront, great for watching the sunset. There are afew bars, cafes, shops and restaurants. It was February when I visited so probably quieter than usual. There are a couple of little beaches. It is close to the port where you can get a ferry to the nearby islands.
Portoscuso is a wonderful town that's still off the beaten track in Sardegna. It has several beautiful beaches in walking distance, a Michelin listed restaurant, and is a perfect jumping-off point for Carloforte, Sant'Antioco, the Santa Barbara trail, and many other adventures!
Portoscuso is a nice small town of tuna fishermen. Offers a promenade along the coast, a marina and cruises to Carloforte on a small island of San Pietro. In the vicinity there is Porto Flavia - an extraordinary engineering solution 100 years old.
Portoscuso is a small town, outside the main tourist areas. The choice of restaurants is small, but even at the port "bistro" the food was absolutely great (except for the poor service). We didn't see a single cafe. There are bars, but more for locals. Generally not much to walk around the towns. However, the promenade along the coast, up to the large beach of Spiaggia di Portopaglietto is great, especially in the evening when it is lit up. The very close industrial zone, chimneys and wind farms unfortunately take a lot away from the place. The approach to the town around this large complex is a bit depressing. However, fortunately without any negative effect on the quality and splendour of the sea. Boat trips to caves are stunning.
One of my favourite beach towns in Sardinia. There's a lovely sea front, food is amazing and people are nice. Child/family friendly, good for couples and for young travellers alike. Easy to walk around the town and perfect location for taking the ferry to Carloforte and driving to nearby attractions (such as Masua, Porto Flavia, Mines in Carbonia and Iglesias,...).
Portoscuso
The room us lovely, and has very modern facilities. The shower is nice and the bed is very comfortable. The breakfast is made fresh and with care and differs everyday. The most noteworthy however is the friendliness of the staff and the owner, who are very accommodating in helping you enjoy your stay in the hotel as well as the city and surrounding area.

We travel a lot, but we have rarely experienced such a friendly, courteous and lovely host. Sara and Giuseppe organize everything so lovingly and service-oriented that you simply feel cared for and welcome. Anyone traveling to or through Portoscuso must stay at B&B L'Albero Dei Limoni.

We had a perfect stay at BentueMari. The property was really nice and clean with beautiful views over the sea. The location was lovely walk into the centre of Portoscuso. The host, Silvio was super helpful and friendly and gave some great advice on Kite Surfing. We will definitely return.
Location was wonderful with beautiful harbour and sea views . However the hotel seemed ‘tired’ and in need of refurbishment. The breakfast was very poor. No fresh bread only packets of little biscuits and some tired little pastries . It was early in the season but we were disappointed.
Portoscuso
Fantastic location with beautiful views onto the sea and Portoscuso harbour, and short walk to everything of interest, delicious breakfast, and most of all a fantastic hostess - the Sardinian mother I never had.
Loved the roof top pool, the intimacy with the small beach below the hotel and cosy rooms. Also the bartender in the rooftop bar was very friendly, 10/10. Beautiful place with great sunsets.
