GO ALGHERO<br />
Frances and Michael Howorth<br />
discover there is more to<br />
Sardinia than Porto Cervo,<br />
Calle di Volpe and Porto<br />
Rotondo. In the north-west<br />
of the island, Alghero is one<br />
of Sardinia’s most alluring<br />
destinations<br />
STAY<br />
HOTEL CATALUNYA<br />
This hotel prides itself on making<br />
everyone feel at home with different<br />
morning breakfast habits, reflecting the<br />
nationalities of those staying here. At the<br />
same time, they are just as happy to offer<br />
guests a chance to sample the traditional<br />
Italian breakfast.<br />

HOTEL FRANCESCO<br />
The former convent in the city’s old quarter<br />
has preserved a slightly spartan feel, with<br />
a relaxing, meditative ambience. Simple<br />
rooms, a good breakfast, attentive and<br />
professional staff and the perfect location<br />
for some well deserved RnR.<br />

HOTEL CARLOS V<br />
Comfort is the watchword of this luxury<br />
hotel. The terraces afford panoramic views<br />
that encompass everything from the Capo<br />
Caccia promontory with its silhouette<br />
resembling a sleeping giant, to the costal<br />
road that leads to Bosa.<br />

eroded by the sea this enchanting 5-star<br />
waterside hotel is situated on a promontory<br />
between Cala Lavatoio to the north and<br />

AGRITURISMO SA MANDRA<br />

made, as well as fresh ricotta which you<br />
eat later. Hand made ravioli stuffed with<br />
potato, cheese and mint while by the fire<br />
a suckling pig, head down on the spit so<br />
the fat runs over as it cooks. We can’t<br />
wait to return.<br />
