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.
All our cottages have 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 two bedrooms and two 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.

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

She had found the perfect setting – she told us – to write her novel in peace. Even if you are not a novels writer, in our cottages you will find the right environment to enjoy your time with your spaces and with maximum safety and independence.

FIND THE FERRY
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.
Rental car
It remains undoubtedly the best way to travel to Sardinia! The car is essential to move, reach the beaches, the most interesting places that are often not reached by public transport.
We recommend that you rent the car online and well in advance to get the best rate. Local companies often offer higher prices especially under date, so renting it in advance will certainly make you save a lot.
