 Alghero is a coastal town in Sardinia, Italy. It's one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island, and it offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.


The city has been inhabited since prehistoric times. The first traces of human settlement date back to the Bronze Age (around 1000 BC). In those days, Alghero was known as Argaria. The name comes from the Phoenician word "Argar", which means "rocky coast."


Over time, the city became a major commercial hub for southern Sardinia. In its heyday in the 16th century, Alghero was home to more than 20 churches and monasteries—a testament to its importance as a religious centre in that period.



Today, visitors can still see some of these monuments including the church of San Francesco d'Assisi (known locally as "Santo Francesco"), which dates back to 1497; Santa Maria Delle Grazie (which served as an orphanage from 1774 until 1867); Santa Maria di Gesù (built-in 1521); San Giorgio Martire (constructed during the 16th century); San Pietro di Collemaggio (built between 1520




Day 4: ALGHERO – BOSA – MONTELEONE – ROCCA DORIA – ALGHERO (116km – 2hrs)

In the morning, after a delectable breakfast, visit Bosa, with its small house painted with many colours, and its paved alleys, where is still possible to see old ladies who practice the art of linen embroidery on net. You have to taste the Malvasia, a sweet wine which reminds of the wines of the Quarteron (Clairette and Muscadelle). In the afternoon we invite you to visit Monteleone, Rocca Doria, with its Museum of Bread, fundamental good of the Sardinia culture. 

Overnight in Alghero.





Day 5: ALGHERO – ORISTANO – THARROS – CAGLIARI (230km – 3.5hrs)

Recharge your energies with breakfast at the hotel. First stop at Santu Antine di Torralba, to visit the best-preserved Nuraghe of the island. Continue to Oristano (small stop to visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta with its precious medieval statues and its Towers) and continue to the excavations of Tharros village of the Phoenician age. In the evening, you will arrive in Cagliari. 

Overnight in Cagliari.




Cagliari is a city in Sardinia, Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Cagliari and is the second-largest city on the island after Sassari. According to 2014 data, there are 267,200 people living in Cagliari (of which 133,800 are male and 133,400 are female). The centre of Cagliari has a population of 50,000 inhabitants and its metropolitan area totals 265,000 inhabitants.


Cagliari is divided into four main districts: Castello (the old town), Marina (the new town), Stampace (the main shopping district) and Villanova.


Cagliari has been inhabited since the Neolithic era. In Roman times it was known as Caralis or Karalis in Latin and Karale or Caralis in Sardinian, from which its current name derives. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it became the capital of Sardinia until 1324 when Arborea became the capital. It then became a possession of various noble families; it was conquered by Aragon in 1353, becoming one of the numerous Spanish possessions in Italy. In 1596 Cagliari became part of the Kingdom of Italy along with all other former Spanish possessions on that.
