We're going in July hopefully, the area to go seems to be alghero, as it remains it's culture and beauty, yet it's the more touristy area on the island, from reading up, i might suggest th Oasis Hotel seems to be very child oriantated, hope this helps!!

We've just spent 3 nights at the Hotel Alma in Alghero. Easy to get to...less than 1 euro on the airport bus. The hotel is very clean and comfortable with a good buffet breakfast and great staff. The location is on the beach front and about a 15 min walk to the 'old town'. Would recommend it to anyone.

I have asked for the Hotel Alma to be added to our reviews site. Perhaps you would like to add a review once this has been done.

Thankyou very much for all your help, hopefully going to book it up on saturday :shock: :D so excited!!

I'm thinking of going to Sardinia the week after next (found cheap flights on sleazyjet :lol: ).
What's the best way to get around? Car hire?

For all those people going/thinking about going to Alghero Sardinia, I have recently come back. I have added a hotel review (The Hotel Club Rina) and a review of the resort.

Hi.

We are planning to go to sardinia in June 2008. In our party ther is 3 adults, a 4 year old boy and a toddler.

Can anyone on what the weather should be like?

Also, please can anyone tell us an area to stay that would be suitable.

We would prefer nice beaches (not to rough), good fresh food, somewhere not too busy and we like wildlife so anywhere where we are not too far from the countryside.

If anyone can give us good advice, I would really appreciate it. I have heard sardinia is a lovely place but am not too knowledgable on about the island.

Many thanks.
John.

I've seen some reasonably priced flights to Sardinia for July/August but they're on a Wednesday.

Does anyone know what the changeover days are for self catering accommodation or even better know anywhere that is flexible? I don't want to book flights and find I can't book any accommodation!!

I recently spent 3 days in Sardinia based in Alghero but hired a car and visited several places in the the north of the island.

If you have a car and feel fit enough then drive to the caves of neptune and take the 600+ steps down the side of the cliff to the caves.

Everywhere I visited around the coast there was evidence of persistent strong winds, these pics were taken in the Platamona area.

This is at Stintino, that wall of water must have been between 10 to 20 feet high.

Visit Argentiera if you have time, a "real life" ghost town, like a scene from the old wild west.

Thanks for the photos Andy. You may also wish to post them in our Photo Gallery so that they are not lost as the topic drops down the page.

Hi Luci,

They are stills I captured from some video I took, when I get time I'm going to see if I can chop the video into small chunks and put them in the video gallery, but I fear I may find it challenging.
