Alghero Resort Country Hotel

It's situated in countryside a few kilometres outside of the beautiful city of Alghero. It's a bit different from usual hotels, in the sense that it has more of a rustic, farmhouse feel. Our room was pleasant, again not the generic hotel style, but with old style furniture, shutters on window and so on. Bed and bathroom/shower were fine. There is a nice pool area, nice shaded area under trees for when direct sunshine gets too much. Breakfast is good, tasty pastries, hams, cheeses, homemade cakes and so on. The evening dinner is a set menu. 30 euros for 3 courses. It is limited, it doesn't offer choice. However on the evenings we ate here it was very good home style cooking. Being a bit of a distance outside of the city you would need transport. Hired car, or the staff will happily book taxi for you. It's 15 euros in a taxi into town. Activities can be arranged at the hotel. Jeep safari, horse riding, sailboat trip. Tennis courts looked good. There is a small spa, we booked massage treatments and they were wonderful. Throughout our stay all of the staff were extremely kind and pleasant. All in all a very enjoyable week. If modern luxury hotels are your thing this probably won't be for you. But for a relaxing, rustic week we had a very nice stay.

We were told that our room was a double upgrade! I dread to think what the basic rooms look like. The room smelt musty and was dark. The decor looks very tired in the rooms and round the hotel. Breakfast is pretty plain and nothing to get up for. The dining area has a rough concrete floor which is impossible to clean. Why they could not tile the area to make it look more attractive is a mystery. We did not stay for dinner but the price for a fixed menu was quite expensive and the dining area was not welcoming. The staff work hard to please the guests. Please note that the hotel is quite some distance from Alghero town.
