Holidays in Sardinia

Alghero lies on the north west coast of the island and is a walled town with pretty harbour and fabulous coastline. The white sandy beach is all but a stroll from the old town. The magnificent Santa Maria Cathedral and the churches of San Francesco and San Michele are an architectural delight whilst the many piazzas offer the chance to simply sit and sip a cappuccino and watch the world go by.

Shop till you drop in the boutique filled streets with all the 'big names' in both clothes and shoes and then chill out with some 'slow food' in one of the many restaurants. On Sunday evenings it's obligatory to don your shades and designer clothes, buy an ice cream (the best in the world) and join in the 'passeggiata' or 'stroll' along the seafront together with the rest of the town! There is also plenty to see and do in the vicinity of Alghero.

You can sail to Neptune's Grotto on one of the boat excursions from the harbour or go diving in one of the idyllic secluded bays. White sands and crystal clear waters are the norm in this part of the world! Hire a car and drive along the north coast from Alghero to Capo Caccia stopping off at the natural marine park of Porte Conte, the famous Nuraghe of Palmavera or just enjoy the views: the stunning mediterranean landscape of macchia, olive groves and vineyards or the glorious beaches of Bombarde or Lazzaretto.
