| The house is situated 100 m from the beach (free beach) and half a mile from the centre of the catalan town of Alghero, in a quiet place on the top floor (there is a lift to the apartment which is on the 6th floor) of a modern building (four years old), with magnificent views of the town (360°). The apartment has a private terrace of 120 square metres where visitors can sun bathe all the day long, with lovely panoramic views of the harbour, coastline, beaches, and the distant hills.
By prior arrangement, guests can borrow everything for the beach (sun umbrella, chairs…etc).
The Hosts are Fiorella, an ex teacher of mathematics at a High School and for many years involved in research of ancient textiles and bobbing laces, and Mario, an underwater archaeologist well known throughout central and southern Europe for his research in the field. Mario and Fiorella between them speak Italian, French, German and English.
Alghero is the most beautiful tourist centre of the Riviera del Corallo with its coast abundant in isolated bays, in creeks hiding soft beaches surrounded with dense pine-woods, with indented cliffs washed by an emerald-green sea. The always gentle climate, the transparent sea with its extraordinary colours, the scent of the mediterranean maquis' vegetation are inviting for a pleasant and care-free time. It's a real paradise for sports for fishing, swimming, underwater fishing, wind-surfing, yachting, playing tennis, horse-riding ....
Alghero is an unpolluted oasis for underwater photography and archaeology. There are wonderful trips to the area with many prehistoric sites, in Nuraghi and Domus de Janas.
