Location
The apartment is a 2-minute stroll from Alghero’s historic centre, and 10 minutes from the city’s beach. The location is extremely convenient as guests have everything on their doorstep. Alghero has a fascinating collection of architecture, from the ancient walls that encircle the city to the 16th-century cathedral. The city is home to a wide range of beautiful churches, museums and palaces, making it a great destination at any time of year. A stroll around the port area is a rewarding experience, especially if it involves lunch or dinner at one of the many delicious, local restaurants.

Alghero is blessed with many fine beaches. There are several beautiful beaches further north between the city and Porto Conte. Some are well equipped with cafés, sun loungers and water sports facilities; others are wilder and less crowded. Spiaggia di Mugoni (25-minute drive) is particularly good for families with children, thanks to its gently sloping sand and clear seas.

For self-catering, the best and freshest local produce is available at the Mercato Civico Alghero (a 10-minute walk), by the walls of the old town. Alternatively, there are two supermarkets less than a 5-minute walk away.

Alghero airport is 15 minutes away.
