Country-Life
Life in the countryside may not please everyone. Yes, it might be less cool & glamorous than the city life but it is actually true that our body require us to disconnect a little from the city to recharge energy and positivity in the nature. See the cottages with private garden
Sea Breeze
Sea breeze is known for its beneficial effects on the respiratory system. Thanks to the large amount of mineral salts it contains, it helps the good health of the bronchi and lungs. It therefore improves breathing overall…Our cottages are located just 1 km from the sea and a few minutes from the best beaches of Alghero.
Family time
Spending a time with your family away from the daily grind can only do you good. We have the right spaces for privacy and independence and at the same time spend some quiet time all together. Our Flower Villa is perfect for families and couples. With 3 bedrooms and 2 separate bathrooms.
BBQ Nights
From a recent study by the University of Minnesota it was found that cooking outdoors increases seratonin, the feel-good hormone … (well, that’s no true!) but we still believe that – even without university studies – doing a BBQ really makes the day more than enjoyable. All our cottages have their own private BBQ.
Couples
About 80% of our guests are couples. We’ve really received hundreds of feedbacks and we know what couples love. We have created and organized spaces to provide everything they need and give our couples the perfect places for their holiday in Alghero.

Ah, Single
Some time ago, a New York writer (hello, if you’re reading this!) stayed with us for over 3 weeks. She kept extending her stay week after week. She said she found the perfect environment to write her novel in peace… But even if you’re not JK Rowling and you won’t be writing the next Harry Potter saga, with us you’ll find the ideal environment to relax and spend some time for yourself, maybe with a nice novel to read in the garden?

Buses and Trains
Bus transport in Sardinia is managed by the ARST company for local and regional buses. The best way to find timetables and connections is through Google Maps. Traveling by bus is not always easy due to the lack of direct lines. For specific tourist routes it is better to rely on private bus companies that operate mainly during the summer period.
Traveling by train is also quite difficult given the lack of an efficient and modern rail network. In any case, it is possible to travel by train while making various stopovers from Cagliari to Alghero or from Olbia to Alghero.
