“We highly recommend this place”

We spent a wonderful week in Louise’s appartment. It is good located (1 minute walk from the nearest beach, supermarket and restaurant), close to the main attractions of Alghero, around 20 minutes walk for the port and the old town. The appartment is well equiped and has a very nice terrace with the sea view (we ate there our breakfast every day). The aircondition works very well. Louise was very helpfull, she gave us a lot of useful tips and informations about Alghero and Sardinia. We highly recommend this place for holidays with friends or with familly.

Me and my teenage children spent 8 days in this apartment. A very nice penthouse apartment with a fantastic sea view from the terrace which is significantly better than the pictures show! The apartment had all the amenities you would need, including sun umbrellas and beach chairs that you could take to the beach. The location was also top with a supermarket just next door as well as restaurants nearby. To Lido beach only 5 min walk and approx. 25 min to the old town. Louise was a perfect host who helped with any questions you had. Can highly recommend…

Neptunes Grotto

Neptunes Grotto

Neptune’s Grotto (Grotta di Nettuno) is a short boat or coach ride away from Alghero. The cave was discovered by local fishermen in the 18th century. The entrance to the grotto lies only around a metre above the sea level at the foot of the 110-metre-high Capo Caccia cliffs and the cave can therefore only be visited when the waters below are calm. A stairway cut into the cliff in 1954, the 654-step escala del cabirol (goat’s steps), leads from a car park at the top of the cliff down to the entrance. The grotto is also accessible via a short…

“Lovely apartment”

This is a spacious apartment that is really well equipped and spotlessly clean. The terrace was great with a sea view. It was a great base for us to explore the island by but it was just a very short walk to the lido beach and having the supermarket and a couple of good restaurants within a couple of minutes walking was really useful. Louise was super efficient and helpful.
