the flat is situated on via agostino about a 10 or so minute straight forward walk to the old town/front on a good well lit road in a residential area of the new town.about 20 mins easy walk to the beaches.its around 10 mins or so away from the B&B the same family own. 2 supermarkets one large one small are situated within a few minutes walk so very easy to stock up on water etc. the owners of the flat live in the same building so they are there if you have any problems.they also collected us from the airport and returned for a lesser price than the planned taxi ride.

the flat is on the 5th/top floor ( has a lift) it has a living area with a mini kitchen, fridge freezer dining table.the one thing missing was a kettle which seemed strange. we used a pan on the stove.had a washing machine,iron tv. the one bedroom was large and had french doors that opened onto the terrace. there was also french doors and double windows in the living area.the bathroom was large and clean and contained a bath which was nice. also had double windows. the roof terrace was huge,as big as the actual flat. with table, chairs and an umbrella and sun loungers. you also got the sun all day long and had total privacy and werent over looked in anyway. the terrace was and is a huge selling point.

we had 3 people in the flat and the third bed was in the living area but it was next to the fridge which was very loud on and off all night and took a day or two to get used to.the website says upto 4 people could stay in the flat but tbh you would be struggling with more than 3. If its just 2 people who are staying there then its perfect as the bedroom is large and quiet but i wouldnt want to be the third person sleeping in the living area. only other downside was there was no airconditioning. but i cant complain as I knew about this before hand. there was a fan in the room and all the windows had shutters plus all the french doors etc but as we were there during 30 plus degree heat it did get pretty stuffy at night. if you plan to go later in the year then it shouldnt be a problem.

we paid around £17 a night each so it was very much a bargin and above average for the price.and it was good having all the xtra space that a hotel room doesnt give you. and the roof terrace was excellent. i would stay there again but only if there were 2 of us instead of the 3 and if it was at a cooler time of year.

Four friends and I stayed at the Catalan B+B in Alghero, Sardinia, for two nights last weekend and would really recommend it as a great place to stay. It's locaton was convenient to the Old Town (about a 5-10 minute walk) yet far enough away to feel like you were in a "local" area.

The flat itself was very clean and comfortable, and the shower was piping hot (something of a rare commodity in Europe!)

Our hostess Loredana was extremely helpful and accommodating.
