I am usually a light sleeper and it did not bother me at all. But after long days of touring the region, we fell asleep very easily. There is no breakfast available, but there are many options close by. The room is very spacious and the bed was comfortable. Soap, shampoo, and towels provided. The owner is very nice and he speaks English very well. I would stay there again if I ever come back to Oristano.

Grotta di Nettuno - Visiting Neptune's Cave was the absolute highlight of our stay in Sardinia. The…read morecave is fascinating, with its chambers, spectacular stalactites, and underground lake. The entire site feels majestic and leaves a lasting impression. The organization of the visit was good, and the tour itself was very interesting. It is a unique natural attraction that I would recommend to every visitor to Alghero.Inside the cave, nobody checked the specific time on our tickets, so there is no need to worry if you arrive slightly earlier or later. They mainly check according to the boat arrival, as very few visitors seem to reach the cave on foot.

We booked the tour online without doing too much research in advance. From the pictures the boat…read morelooked a bit small, but we decided to give it a try anyway. We chose the morning half day trip. First we got to see several sights, such as cliffs, caves, towers etc. Then we had a couple of swimming/snorkeling stops. At the second snorkeling location Giovanni took us into some really cool caves. Giulia took lots of good pictures of us during the whole trip. She also made a little film. Both film and pictures was included in the price and were emailed to us the next day. I would totally recommend this trip. The swimming and snorkeling is of course optional. Giovanni and Giulia is really sweet people and I'm very pleased we chose that particular trip instead of all the big boats.

Hotel Punta Negra is a really beautiful hotel located in Fertilia, a quiet town about 10 minutes…read moreoutside of Alghero. The hotel has expansive grounds covered in native flora. The common areas are gorgeous including the dining room, the outdoor patio, and the pools. The views from the patio and pools are breathtaking. They have two pools including a saltwater infinity pool. They even have their own small private beach too. The beach isn't as impressive as the local beaches within a short drive but it's a nice option if you don't feel like driving someplace. Each room has a balcony, some of which overlook the ocean. Our room was super clean, included a mini fridge, and the bed was really comfy. Maids came in daily to do morning cleanings as well as turn down service. They have free parking and free breakfast. The breakfast buffet was great with an assortment of delicious pastries and breads plus eggs and cooked prosciutto for us Americans. The bar is open throughout the day and you can order a cocktail to enjoy on the patio where they'll give you some free snacks or you can take it in a plastic cup to enjoy poolside. A couple things I'd change about the hotel: - Provide free water! It'd be so lovely to see water offered for free in the mini fridge in the room, at the bar, or even in a water cooler at the front desk. The staff recommended not drinking from the tap water so it seemed crazy to have to pay for water everyday. I know this is probably customary for Italy but it would've been a really nice touch. - The one time we got dinner at the hotel (because it was downpouring outside) the service was extremely slow and disjointed. The food was mediocre and not worth the wait. - During breakfast, there is one communal coffee machine. It made pretty good coffee including Americanos, cappuccinos, etc. but since there was just one, there was always a line and it sometimes malfunctioned from overuse. - There is no kids area or kids pool so if you're trying to relax by the pool, you may have to deal with screaming children. Overall, I'd probably stay here again because it had great amenities, was clean, and the staff was always really nice. However, I'd love to see some of the minor details improved upon to further elevate the stay.
