Lloc d'Or

Alghero


A cute budget B&B just a few minutes' walk from the seafront and harbour. Its two rooms and apartment are bright and simply furnished, and hosts Gemma and Giovanni go that extra mile to make you feel welcome – be it with beach towels, delicious breakfasts or tips on getting about town. There's a sea-view terrace, too.
