Gli Ontani Club Marco Polo

The resort and its setting

Gli Ontani Club Marco Polo sits in Orosei, a low-key seaside town on Sardinia's Golfo di Orosei coastline, an area better known for its granite cliffs and turquoise water than for high-rise tourism. The resort is independent but carries RCI affiliation, which means owners here aren't limited to swapping within a single chain — they can use their week as a base for exchanges through the wider RCI network as well as for straightforward stays at the resort itself. Accommodation suits couples and families looking for a comfortable, no-fuss base for exploring the coast rather than a resort that tries to be a destination in itself.

The area and things to do

Orosei's main draw is its beaches, and at this resort you're within walking distance of the Golfo di Orosei shoreline, one of Sardinia's most photographed stretches of coast. Cala Gonone, a small harbour village with boat trips out to sea caves and hidden coves, is a short drive away, and the Su Gologone springs — a well-known freshwater source feeding into the valley — are about 15 minutes from the resort. Hiking trails start more or less on-site, which suits owners who want to combine beach days with walks up into the limestone hills behind the coast. In town, there are local restaurants and markets for evenings built around Sardinian cooking rather than resort dining.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Gli Ontani Club Marco Polo and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and no commission is taken when the deal closes — unlike traditional resale agents who take a cut of the sale price.

Because Gli Ontani Club Marco Polo is an independent resort, any resale transfer will go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large brand's central transfer office. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, it's worth asking the resort directly for the current transfer fee, whether a right of first refusal clause is written into the deed, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — these details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so get them in writing from the resort before you commit. A resale buyer should expect to receive the usage rights and RCI exchange eligibility that come with the week, but not necessarily any loyalty perks or promotional extras tied to the original purchase.

Practical notes for renters and buyers

Renters researching this resort are typically looking for a genuine beach-town base in Sardinia rather than a large all-inclusive complex, so it helps to be upfront in your listing about which week you hold, what the unit sleeps, and whether it falls in peak summer season. Buyers interested in the RCI exchange angle will want to know your week's trading power within the network, so it's worth mentioning the season and unit size clearly.

Timing your visit or your listing

The Mediterranean climate here means late spring through early autumn is when the coast is at its best, and that's also when rental demand for a week like this tends to be strongest, so list with enough lead time for buyers or renters to plan around those months.
