The marvellous Hotel El Faro is superbly located overlooking the wonderful Porto Conte bay, between Punta Giglio and Capo Caccia, just a short drive from Alghero. Built 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.

Just a few kilometres from the famous city of Alghero, at Monte Doglia’s feet, you will find the beautiful bay of Porto Conte, discovered by the Romans and called Portus Nympharum (The bay of the Nymphs) by the geographer Tolomeo, for the beauty and clearness of its waters. Near the ancient tower Torre Aragonese of Porto Conte you will find El Faro Hotel. Built in 1956 by the illustrious architect Antonio Simon Mossa, who projected the Escala de Cabriol of the Neptun Caves also, the hotel finally reached its splendour after a complete restyling in 2003. Walking through the entrance arches, you will be surprised by the spectacular view of Capo Caccia and by the magic and quiet atmosphere of this place and its surroundings. From one of the 88 hotel rooms, decorated in a typical Sardinian style, you will experience the sensation of being on a huge boat, anchored and facing the sea. During your stay you can experience the quiet and relaxing atmosphere of the surrounding wild nature, its energy, its essence, its soundlessness at only two hours away from the busiest European metropolis. At the Hotel you can book and arrange wonderful excursions like: by boat to the beautiful Neptun caves, by horse through the dunes of Porto Ferro beach, or trekking to Punta Giglio and to Monte Doglia. You can also visit the natural reserve of Arca di Noè on the Monte Timidone, discovering the wild fauna and flora of this place facing the sea.
