Villa Las Tronas

Top choice in Alghero


Live like royalty at this palatial seafront hotel. Housed in a 19th-century palazzo once used by holidaying royals, it's set in its own lush gardens on a private headland. The individually styled rooms are pure fin de siècle, with elegant antiques, oil paintings and glorious sea views. A spa with an indoor pool, sauna, hydro-massage and gym invites lingering.
