Hotel El Faro

A ship-shaped hotel facing Capo Caccia

Hotel El Faro is at the tip of Porto Conte, inside the natural park, above the Baia delle Ninfe. It is a superior four-star with a building of stepped terraces over the rocks designed by the architect Antonio Simon Mossa in the shape of a ship. Next to it stands a coastal tower, and across the bay, opposite, you have the wall of Capo Caccia. It is the accommodation for those who want to sleep away from the city, with the sea in front and the cape a quarter of an hour away.

Rooms

There are a dozen types: from the Classic, with or without a sea side, to the Deluxe with terrace, the Sea Garden with garden, the suites and the Premier Deluxe Terrace, with a large terrace over the bay. There are Family Rooms for families. The website does not publish the number of rooms or their prices: you see them in its booking engine.

Pools, thalassotherapy and restaurant

It has two pools on the slope that goes down to the sea. The central one is seawater, with hydromassage, and is heated in the cooler months. The Thalasso & Spa centre works with seawater. There is a restaurant over the sea and a lounge bar. The hotel also organises sports activities, excursions and experiences in the area.

Getting there and what is nearby

It is at the exit from Fertilia, on the Porto Conte road, about twenty minutes by car from Alghero; you need a car. From here you are very close to everything around Capo Caccia: the Palmavera nuraghe, the Escala del Cabirol and the Capo Galera diving centre. The website does not publish the opening season, the check-in and check-out times or whether pets are allowed: ask before booking.
