There are a variety of B&Bs available in Sardinia they can often be found under names such as pensione or an albergo. There is no obvious difference between the two except that a pensione is usually rated from a one- to three-star standard with basic facilities and communal bathrooms, and an albergo can be rated up to a five-star standard often with a private bathroom, room service, and parking.
