The AMETHYST flat at the ancient Tower is a combination of tradition and personality, it is in the historical centre of Alghero, a stone's throw away from the sea, the Ramparts and the scenery of Capo Caccia.
Bright and characteristic on two levels, it is composed of an open space with a living room with a double sofa bed, two armchairs, dining area and TV, a fully equipped kitchen with washing machine, dishwasher, coffee machine,microwave, iron and ironing board, fridge, freezer, air conditioning, 2 bathrooms with shower and toilet.
On the second level is the double bedroom, with air conditioning, wardrobe and chest of drawers and second bathroom.
AMETHYST, between the old town and the sea, local handicrafts, restaurants, cafes, retains the charm of the old days thanks to a non-invasive renovation, which has left intact the original architectural styles, such as exposed stone and wooden beams. Strolling through the streets of the historic centre, among the arches, towers and squares, is a beautiful experience with the Caribbean beaches and sea, such as Bombarde and Lazzaretto, as a backdrop.
The flat, on two levels, is located on the first and last floor, in an old building of one floor, so very quiet as the street in which it is located, a step away from the sea, the promenade of the ramparts, and the square of the Tower of Porta Terra, a feature that makes it unique! In fact the square is on the border between the old and the new town, where you will find free parking.
The white sandy beach is a 15-minute walk away!
Reserved beach bar is a lovely flat rocky cove, 3 minutes walk from the flat, with a small bathing establishment.
The historic centre is restricted to traffic, to preserve its beauty, but getting to the flat is very easy from Piazza di Porta Terra, less than a minute's walk!
Note the presence of the bus stop, for connections to 'Alghero Airport, beaches and villages nearby, and the presence of the port from which to leave for excursions to the island of Asinara or the Caves of Neptune, a few steps from the flat!

Fabulous trip
The property is exactly as described and is in the perfect location in the old town . There are so many amazing restaurants it was difficult to choose where to go . Mariana was the perfect host and met us late at night for checkin. She was always on hand if needed and had lots of recommendations for places to eat . Don’t miss eating at the Alamo just opposite but pre booking was required even in late Sept . . The apt is really comfy with 2 shower rooms which was v helpful. We would definitely come back and recommend. Thank you x

Beautiful quaint stay in Alghero
Martina’s place in Alghero was absolutely the most adorable apartment we have stayed in during our travels. When we go back to Alghero we would definitely stay here again and we would recommend to friends with two thumbs way up. Everything we needed was provided and it was super clean and beautifully decorated. There were even beach mats and supplies. The AC (we visited in late June) worked perfectly and we didn’t even need to turn on the upstairs unit bc the downstairs unit cooled the entire place gloriously. It was very nice to have a dish washer and washing machine. The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for our luggage and items. Having two nice size full bathrooms was very convenient. Instructions for finding the apartment were good and Natalia was waiting for us on the doorstep with a smile and all the information we might need. She also left us her favorite bottle of Prosecco to enjoy. The apartment is just steps away from one of the best gelato and pizza places in Alghero. Everything including a grocery store was within easy walking distance. It was also a very easy walk from the car parking spot we found. My husband said “I think this is the best place we’ve ever stayed in.” I wish I was still there and can’t wait to go back! Thank you Martina and Natalia for helping make our stay in Alghero so memorable.

Wonderful stay in Alghero
Our vacation in Alghero was just wonderful. Our gracious host was incredible and went over and above accommodating us. Our flights from Canada were extremely delayed and we arrived in the middle of the night, Tiziana was there waiting to greet us, and welcome us to the apartment. The apartment itself is charming, very comfortable and extremely clean. We loved every minute of our stay. The location is perfect, close to cafes, restaurants, shops and boutiques. Our wonderful host gave us extremely helpful tips on great restaurants, local shops, attractions and beaches. Highly recommend it.

3 Amazing days based in old town Alghero. Easy drive to discover the beautiful northwest coasts.
Communication with the owner, Tiziana, started before we arrived and it was very helpful, including a lot of tips. On our arrival, Tiziana and her son gave us a very warm welcome. It was like we met our friends that they had prepared the flat just for us.😊 Shiny clean flat with all the comforts for a relaxing stay. Airconditioning was an extra comfort for a nice cool sleep. The location was amazing, in the heart of the very friendly old town of Alghero, with beautiful restaurants just next door, in the same street. Easy to walk the whole old town, the marina, to enjoy the nightlife, tasty plates, wine bars. The whole experience was wonderful and we definitely recommend it 🥰

Great location and service
We had a wonderful stay here at this very conveniently-located apartment close to the sea and in the heart of the old town. Elisabetta was a wonderful help for us during our stay. She immediately helped us with a problem that we created for ourselves--and for her--and did it with kindness and good humor. The apartment was very comfortable and so close to shopping, tourist sites, and great restaurants. We had a wonderful time in beautiful Alghero!

Perfect location
The apartment is perfectly located in the old town in the centre but quiet too. Lots of lovely places to eat and drink and only a few minutes from the sea. Our flight was delayed and we arrived late but Elisabetta kindly waited for us and she gave us lots of good advice during our stay. The apartment is lovely although my partner is 6ft 6 and found the mezzanine bedroom area proved very tricky!

Top Wohnung - perfekte zentrale Lage - sehr freundlicher und herzlicher Empfang
Wir (2 Personen) buchten die Wohnung für 5 Tage und waren sehr sehr zufrieden! Die Wohnung war gemütlich und vor allem sauber. Das Bett war bequem und die Küche gut ausgestattet. Elisabetta, die Dame die uns empfangen hat, war auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage der Wohnung ist einfach perfekt! Ein paar wenige Schritte und direkt ist man am "Strand" riservato beach oder im historischen Stadtzentrum, Einkaufsboutiquen, Bars, Restaurants.... Einfach genial! Wir kommen wieder!

Prima vacanza ad Alghero
Era la prima volta per noi ad Alghero. Tiziana è stata gentilissima nel consigliarci i posti da visitare e le spiaggette meno affollate ma super caratteristiche. Noi eravamo senza macchina, ma grazie alla zona centrale dell'appartamento non abbiamo avuto alcun problema per spostarci usando mezzi pubblici e bici. L'appartamento carino, con tutto l'essenziale, forniva anche l'ombrellone per la spiaggia. Pur essendo nel centro storico la zona era molto tranquilla. Consigliato per famiglie ma anche per coppie che vogliono stare tranquilli. Ci torneremo sicuramente.

Gorgeous! It doesn't get any better than this.
The host Tiziana, alongside with her son Andrea and Elisabetta, has gone above and beyond to make sure that my stay in Alghero with my partner was something special. The apartment is absolutely gorgeous and right in the middle of the greatest side of the city. Where all the nice boutiques, restaurants, ancient ruins are. Also at walking distance to the port. We totally recommend this place and if possible we'll be visiting again. Andrea & Jo

Finalmente un appartamento che ,pur essendo in centro storico ,é vicino ai posteggi. ! Poiché é tra la vecchia Alghero e la nuova. L'appartamento migliore che ho trovato in centro storico.

Per motivi di lavoro ho alloggiato in questo bellissimo appartamento, molto caratteristico e ben inserito nel contesto del centro storico della città di Alghero. Ho affittato per motivi di lavoro arredato con gusto ed in linea con la caratteristica del luogo, dotato di tutti i comfort, molto pulito ed ordinato, ampio parcheggio disponibile nella zona. La proprietaria è molto gentile. Consiglio vivamente.

Herrliche Lage
Wir haben uns in Alghero und in diesem Appartement sehr wohl gefühlt. Tiziana hat uns von Anfang an das Gefühl gegeben, dort willkommen zu sein. Die Wohnung liegt mitten in der Altstadt. In nächster Nähe von guten Restaurants und Geschäften. Busverbindungen zu den Stränden und dem Airport in unmittelbarer Nähe. Je Fahrt (auch zum Airport 1 EUR). Die Wohnung ist sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet mit allem was man braucht. Sehr ruhig obwohl mitten in der belebten Altstadt. Tiziana hat uns schon im Vorfeld soviele Infos gegeben, dass wir uns schnell zurecht fanden. Jederzeit wieder!

Bel emplacement mais accueil sur place à revoir
L'appartement est idéalement situé pour ceux qui souhaitent être au centre (tout à proximité). Il est propre et fonctionnel. Excellente communication avec la propriétaire. Cependant, quelques points dérangeants : - la chaleur limitée de la personne en charge de l'accueil. Absence de confiance trop marquée (photo de votre passeport sur place). En gros, on se sent plus dans un hôtel impersonnel que chez l'habitant. - règlement obligatoire du solde (80% du loyer) et de la caution en cash à l'arrivée (somme conséquente quand même à avoir sur soi) - absence totale de wifi et réseau faible même avec le portable - aucune attention particulière à l'arrivée comme cela est d'usage : pas 1 bouteille d'eau au frais, paquets de condiments présents mais vides, 1 c. à soupe de lessive, 1 seule pastille pour le lave-vaisselle... en gros, aucune de ces petites attentions que nous avons trouvées dans chacune de nos nombreuses locations précédentes. - gestion catastrophique des déchets. Nous avons été obligés de mettre nos déchets tous les matins dans les petites poubelles municipales des environs (le commerçant du bas nous a vus passer tous les matins avec nos sachets et nous a dit que la gestion des ordures était de la responsabilité du propriétaire car il ne met pas de poubelle extérieure à notre disposition). - la clé commandant toute l'électricité du lieu est cadenassée aux autres afin que nous ne puissions pas l'enlever du trousseau. Donc impossible le 1er soir de quitter les lieux en prenant les clés avec nous pour ne pas déranger les enfants en rentrant (sinon ils auraient été sans lumière, sans clim, sans TV… le noir total). Système gênant car si vous voulez recharger vos appareils dans la journée, c'est impossible. Donc pensez bien à RECLAMER une 2ème clé qui n'est pas donnée spontanément à l'arrivée. - Bien que le parking soit clairement stipulé dans le descriptif, il n'y a pas de parking avec le logement. Il faut donc tourner des heures pour trouver l'une des rares places gratuites aux alentours (10 à 15 min à pied autour minimum). A chaque demande, on vous renvoie au "contrat" donc un conseil : lisez bien votre contrat :) et bonnes vacances.

Confortable, soigné et super bien situé !
Ma femme, mes enfants (4 et 6 ans) et moi avons passé un séjour inoubliable dans cet appartement, sa localisation tout d'abord : idéalement situé dans le centre historique il nous as permis d'apprécier tout le charme de la vieille ville d'Alghero, avec son fort et ses nombreuses animations en soirée, de profiter des délices de ses artisants (glaces, pâtisseries et spécialités à emporter en tous genres) et de produits frais (marché central à quelques pas), entre deux promenades les enfants peuvent jouer à l’ombre dans le jardin public situé à quelques pas, et le soir ils ont pu carrément profiter des jeux de la fête forraine (cependant je ne connais pas le calendrier de cette fête), enfin de magnifiques plages sont à quelques minutes seulement en voiture... en contrepartie il faut souligner la difficulté à trouver un stationnement disponible (peu de places gratuites sont disponibles, beaucoup sont payantes mais limitées dans la durées, il y a un parking privé à proximité mais nous avons payé 17€ pour une seule nuit...) ensuite il y a le confort et le charme de l'appartement lui même : la double climatisation rend le séjour dans l'appartement très agréable et reposant, et pour ce qui est du charme, les photos parlent d'elles mêmes. A noter toutefois que la hauteur sous plafond au niveau de la mezzanine est assez basse, et que si globalement l'appartement peut recevoir 4 adultes, je dirais qu'il est plutôt adapté pour 3 adultes ou 2 adultes et 2 enfants. Enfin un grand merci à Tiziana, passionnée et amoureuse d'Alghero, qui s'est beaucoup souciée de notre séjour et s’est beaucoup impliquée dans le conseil pour que nous puissions profiter au maximum de notre séjour. Nous espérons revenir un jour.

A really cozy and nicely decorated apartment in the middle of the old town of Alghero.
We stayed in Tizianas apartment for three nights. We were two adults and two teenage children. The apartment has really everything you need and is very nicely decorated with a perfect location in the middle of Alghero old town. Alghero and the surrounding areas has very much to offer with a lot of nice beaches and other beautiful places.
