02 February 2010 - Sardinian Places - Press Office
With a reputation as being the holiday of choice for the rich and famous [Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary stayed there last summer], as well as the island with the best beaches, Sardinia is frequently in the top listings of romantic or honeymoon destinations.
Leading specialist, Sardinian Places, presents a broad selection of romantic properties within its portfolio, including both affordable options, as well as choices outside of the Costa Smeralda.
Self-catering options include Casa Lluïseta, a one-bedroom, stone-built cottage situated within its own olive grove near Alghero in the North West. The simplicity of the setting is what makes this property such an ideal intimate hideaway. The gardens are immaculate and full of traditional Sardinian flora, such as fruit-laden medlars and prickly pear cacti. The bedroom offers views across lime trees, cypresses and laurel bushes to the private pool beyond. The cottage harbours a rural feel, yet is only a few miles away from the cobbled streets and fine restaurants of Alghero’s town centre. This season, 7-nights accommodation-only at Casa Lluïseta starts from £1138 (property price for the week).

Hotel options offered by Sardinian Places include the 4* Hotel Corallo – a perfect romantic retreat in the former fishing village of Isola Rossa, in Northern Sardinia. The hotel is directly positioned by the sea overlooking the marina, which affords views across the Mediterranean, as well as provides an opportune vantage point for watching the sun both rise and set. Facilities at the hotel include a fresh water swimming pool; restaurant renowned for its Sardinian specialities and seafood dishes; as well as a wine cellar used once a week for wine tasting. Isola Rossa maintains its laid back vibe today with just a small selection of bars, restaurants and two sandy beaches within the immediate vicinity. For those keen to explore the north of the island, Castelsardo, Santa Teresa Gallura and the character town of Tempio-Pausania are all easily accessible by car. Sardinian Places offers 7 nights accommodation-only with breakfast at Hotel Corallo from £287 per person.
Also in the North is the luxury option of the 5* Hotel Capo d’Orso Thalasso & Spa, tucked away in the bay of Cala Capra, a completely unspoilt corner of North East Sardinia. The hotel is located on the waterfront within just a few hundred metres of two white-sand beaches. Panoramic views stretch across the Archipelago della Maddalena and facilities include a Thalasso & Spa Centre, two seawater swimming pools and solariums positioned directly on the ocean. Please note that the hotel offers Sardinian Places’ clients a complimentary ‘Honeymoon or Anniversary Package’. Please call for more details. Sardinian Places offers 7 nights accommodation-only with breakfast at Hotel Capo d’Orso Thalasso & Spa from £497 per person.
