From your apartment in Alghero to ghost towns, dream beaches and cliffs

Alghero’s history dates back to prehistoric times, and the city’s cultural diversity is accordingly rich. Phoenicians and Carthaginians left their traces as well as Genovese and Pisans. However, Alghero was influenced by the Catalans; it was not without reason that the city was once known as “Little Barcelona”. You can still discover the traces of the Catalans not far from your holiday home in Alghero today. The historic old town is one of the most beautiful in Sardinia, and the medieval fortress was also extended by the Catalans to its present size. Around your individual accommodation in Alghero you will also find the countless bars, cafés, restaurants and souvenir shops that line the car-free streets of the old town. The old ramparts invite you to take a sunny stroll with sea views, while the northern beaches and hidden bays offer the best conditions for water rats and sun worshippers. From Alghero’s harbour you can discover the stalactite cave Grotta di Nettuno by boat or visit historical sites such as the nuragic necropolis Anghelu Ruiu, a prehistoric cult site. Anghelu Ruiu is also only a few kilometres away from your accommodation in Santa Maria la Palma, Alghero.

Discover the enchanting region around Alghero

In addition to the many attractions in the city itself, your Alghero holiday home also offers access to the countless attractions that attract visitors from all over the world to Sardinia every year. Only 30 kilometres north of your holiday apartment in Alghero lies Argentiera, one of the most unusual excursion destinations on the island. This ghost town in the middle of the northwestern coastal landscape owes its existence to the old silver and iron mines, which were already used here in Roman and Carthaginian times. Silver was mined in Argentiera until the 1960s; the city owes its name to its underground wealth, the “Silver”. If you take a trip from your Apartment in Sardinia to Argentiera, you can visit the abandoned wooden houses that once served as accommodation for the miners. A 19th century stone washing plant has also been preserved to this day. If you travel south from Alghero to a holiday home in Bosa, you can experience a completely different highlight on the way, as the 50 kilometre stretch into medieval Bosa is characterised by breathtaking cliffs and spectacular views.
