Hotel La Valkarana - Sardinia
Submitted by FromNowOn on Mon, 03/14/2011 - 13:25In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
http://www.valkarana.com/en/index.htm Loc. Lu Lioni, 07030 Sant'Antonio di Gallura, Sardinia, Italy We stayed in this place when it first opened in 2006. After reading the recommendations on http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk the hotel has fulfilled its promise. A beautiful new hotel set on a hillside overlooking the lake, in a fabulous, very quiet setting, ideal for exploring the island. If you search around booking sites it seems you can get rooms for £75 per night with b&b for a week's stay - although for their superior chalets with private garden, patio, and lake views, it is considerably more (but worth it). We were amongst the first guests in 2006 and took our pick of the chalets at something like 50 euros per night! Lucky us!
Northwest Sardinia

I have travelled around a lot of Sardinia, and I especially like the NW of the island as it more unspoilt and authentic. The most unspoilt and authentic areas are of course in the interior of the island, but these often do not attract tourists. The coastline between Bosa and Alghero is spectacular and legally protected. Bosa itself is a small working town, not just a resort and has a very special welcoming atmosphere as well as fantastically beautiful countryside and many beaches of different types - not just your classic sandy strand. Wherever you go, do hire a car, as although public transport is inexpensive, it is infrequent, timetabling is confusing if you don't speak Italian (and even if you do!) and does not go to the areas you may wish to explore. Costa Smeralda is gorgeous, yes, but expensive, and strangely suburban in its built environment. You could be anywhere - it doesn't seem very Sardinian to me.

Have now returned from three weeks at Hotel Flamingo which turned out to be a good choice. Used the car to head East, North and West and saw beaches, city, heritage sites but we will remember the holiday mostly for such a relaxing break and fabulous food (though very expensive drinks) at our hotel. Now I see the significance of your Avatar, Pas55! It is now in our house in various guises!
