中文Hotel El Faro - Porto Conte, Alghero
Porto Conte, 52 - Alghero
877-662-6988Built in the 50s by architect Simon Mossa, this 4-star hotel has the shape of an ocean liner, with its stern laid down on the rocks, enriched by Spanish-style arches and balconies. Fully redecorated and refurbished, today Hotel El Faro still evokes the splendour of the 50s, when it hosted famous movie stars like Anthony Queen and Liz Taylor.
This charming hotel boasts peacefulness and elegance amidst the natural beauty of its surroundings, only 2 hours by airplane from the main European cities. Great amenities include two sea-water swimming pools, fitness room, wellness centre with sauna, Turkish bath, solarium and massages, meeting and conference facilities, tennis courts and private beach, as well as an excellent restaurant with terrace and a bar.
Perfect if you have a car. Only downside is that the hotel only offers an evening bus to town, not a return. Also, limits lunch meal choice if can't leave the hotel ...

Perfect if you have a car. Only downside is that the hotel only offers an evening bus to town, not a return. Also, limits lunch meal choice if can't leave the hotel (whether an issue is the opinion of the visitor).

We travelled as newlyweds. however, upon arrival, we were very disapointed with room provided as "honeymoon suite". no indication whatsoever that we were actually on our honeymoon. not an advisable hotel as a destination for a honeymoon. also no value for money whatsoever.€12 for 2 coffee's? very overpriced

The hotel facilities are good,but the service was not good. The tell you where te bus comes but didn't gave a ticket. They forgot to call the taxi by leaving to the aerport. we already pay foor the taxi and the taxi that drives us to the airport wanted to pay for the drive and the hotel didn't answer my phone call, 4 calls and only the first time they picked up. No style for a 5 star hotel, I think its 4 stars.

Fanstatic hotel, not really suitable for families with children. Also you need a hired car if staying here as in the middle of no where.

A lovely hotel - the photos on the website do not do it justice! We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived to find that the hotel had been upgraded to 5 stars (although still advertised as 4 stars). The service was discrete but friendly and the staff bent over backwards to help us in any way they could. Our room had a wonderful view and the marble bathroom was fantastic. Food was (as you'd expect) very good - both in the restaurant and on the snack menu in the bar. Facilities were good, we didn't see the tennis courts but the pools were both clean and well kept and the sauna was effective...if a bit old! Buses into Alghero stop early in the evening in the low season, and taxis are quite expensive (€25 one way) so if you're there out of season we'd recommend hiring a car as it's quite remote. Overall, a lovely place to stay.
