Here you are close both to the railway station, the port and to the air terminal. You have some of the prime attractions of this Sardinian capital within easy reach. There is the national archaeological museum of Nuraghic culture (the prehistoric race which peopled Sardinia), which features pieces from the Bronze Age, and with Phoenician and Punic remains. The beautiful beach at Il Poetto, world famous for its 13 kilometre stretch of sand, is easily reachable via public transport, as is the Congress Centre.

The hotel, meanwhile, offers WiFi internet access to guests (there is a charge), Note that this Cagliari accommodation doesn't have parking - not a problem for most guests, who will be arriving by plane, train or ship.

Within easy reach we have the fifth century basilica of San Saturnino, and a host of other important churches including the 14th century Aragonese Sanctuary of Our Lady of Bonaria. There is the ancient Roman amphitheatre, carved from the same white limestone of which much of the city has been constructed down the millennia. The glowing white of Cagliari caused a beguiled DH Lawrence to dub the city 'the white Jerusalem'. Check out the superb botanic gardens of the Orto Botanico dell'Universita di Cagliari and the Monte Urpini city park. And enjoy a superb cuisine based in large part on seafood - Cagliari has one of Italy's biggest fish markets.
