Catalan (apartment)
Home descriptionSecond floor, located in the very centre of the medieval city of Alghero, just few minutes’ walk to the harbour and 10 minutes to the Lido, the main beach of Alghero. Alghero's atmospheric old centre is its real attraction, and it can easily be explored on foot. Much of the architecture, which reflects Catalan and Gothic influences, dates from the 16th century. Seven towers, built to strenghthen the town's defences, dominate the centre .Compared with other resorts in Sardinia, Alghero is refreshingly uncontrived and despite its long Catalan connection - conquered by Aragon in 1353 - (street names appear in Catalan as well as Italian), its old centre has the feel of an ancient Italian town, often being likened to Sorrento or San Remo. The town's cobbled streets are jammed with boutiques, bars and restaurants. Nightlife in Alghero is good, start by sipping cocktails outside the elegant Cafe Latino, overlooking the pretty harbour. Enjoy another pre-dinner drink in the centre of old Alghero, where there are a number of rustic bars, such as the Jamaica Inn. After dinner, the locals make for the Piazza Civica. The Cafe Costantino is good for nightcaps. A paradise for those who enjoy swimming, diving, windsurfing, yachting , fishing or just relaxing. The tourist capital of Coral Riviera.
