Alghero Hotel Guide - Cala Viola hotels in Alghero, Italy.

"place is beautiful and the help are very accommodating."

"From the moment my wife and I arrived it was like coming home to family. From the warm greetings from Anna and Tomasso we were led to our suite that was nestled amongst the natural preserve of trees native to Sardinia. The courtyard was tranquil and cozy and felt more like a community than a hotel. Our choice to purchase the half board was a great decision as both our breakfast and dinner were included in our stay. There we were greeted by the one and only Pietro and his wonderful staff and our waitress Cristina was a joy. Afterwards we had drinks outside and we were entertained by the beautiful voices of Marta and Alessia whose talent is nothing short of Broadway performances. Overall a spectacular experience!"

"We can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. We are experienced travellers and this hotel is a standout. Location and beach are perfect. We went to several other beaches miles away and found this beach to the best. Breakfast is very good with lots of fresh fruit and pastries. The staff were all helpful. Short drive to town with tons of restaurant choice. The room ( sea view) is a tad small but cute with a lovely view. Sad to leave. "

"Good and relaxing. Beds and towels changed every day. Food excellent and great variety. "

"We loved our stay at the El Faro Hotel! The view from our terrace was stunning! The room was spacious, clean and well thought out. The staff was great. Everyone was pleasant, helpful and professional. Highly recommend this property to my friends and family!"

"The pool is a dream, perfect temperature and a good size. The outdoor living is perfect.But we struggle to see how the villa has been given 5 stars. The facilities are extremely dated and looks like someone rushed to paint the walls to make it look fresh but they obviously dont know how to paint in straight lines.The kitchen is not very equipped with only 2 mugs for 5 of us and not enough glasses. There wasnt even an oven!The bathroom is in need of an update, climbing in and out of a dated non working jacuzzi is not user friendly. The toilet system is also intermittent, sometimes works sometimes not. When you use the shower the whole bathroom gets soaked.We were issued with white towels and bed linen for our stay, we didnt get offered a fresh set so, ended up washing them mid stay myself."

"Although this property is rated as a four-star hotel, our experience did not reflect that standard. The rooms were quite basic, and the beds lacked comfort. We found the staff to be largely disengaged and not particularly helpful during our stay. Dining options were extremely limited, with only one nearby restaurant within walking distance. Throughout our five-day visit, we were unable to secure a dinner reservation at the hotel and ultimately had to rent a car to access dining options in the downtown area each evening. On the one occasion we had lunch on-site, service was very slow, and the steak we ordered was disappointing in both quality and flavor. On a positive note, the beach is beautiful, and we were able to enjoy our vacation primarily due to the flexibility afforded by our rental car and the scenic day trips we took. It’s also worth noting that while the hotel listing on Expedia advertises airport shuttle service, this comes at an additional cost. Guests should also be aware that there are daily fees for changing beach towels, and beach chairs incur extra charges as well."

"We had an incredible stay at this beautiful villa near Alghero, hosted by the lovely Antonella and her husband. The villa is surrounded by lush gardens and a peaceful olive grove, making it a perfect, tranquil escape. It’s exceptionally well equipped for three adults and an infant—Antonella even set up a baby cot and play pen, which was such a thoughtful touch.The small details made a big difference: basic provisions, a bottle of wine, and best of all, a bottle of extra virgin olive oil from their own grove—honestly the best we've ever tasted. The property is gated and secure, with a handy outdoor bathroom for rinsing off after the beach and beach equipment available to borrow.Antonella was warm, relaxed, and always helpful without being intrusive. The villa’s location is excellent: just 3 minutes from a supermarket, 6 minutes to a quiet beach, 10 minutes to a livelier beach with great facilities, and within easy reach of Bosa, La Pelosa, and Alghero’s markets. It’s also just a short drive from Alghero airport.We were able to do laundry on-site, and having everything we needed made travelling with a little one so much easier. This place has real heart—Antonella and her husband were truly fantastic hosts. We’d return in a heartbeat."
