Hotel Poseidonia, Arbatax, Nuoro - Sardinia hotel bookings

Hotel Poseidonia, near Nuoro

Sardinia's pretty fishing village of Arbatax - the name is Arabic for fourteenth tower, and it derives from the nearby Saracen watchtower - is famous for its red rocks and lighthouse; it's also close to Nuoro, a quintessentially Sardinian town rich in history, culture and impressive scenery. A great way to take in some of the sights is the 'trenino verde' tourist train, which takes passengers on an unforgettable mountain journey.

But you don't need to board a locomotive to experience the natural beauty of the Italian island of Sardinia. The four-star Hotel Poseidonia enjoys a wonderful location in the midst of the Baia di Porto Frailis, Sughereta natural park and the Gulf of Arbatax. The coastline is flecked by little bays, inlets and caves, and with the hotel only 500 metres from the sea, you will be enjoying the many delights of the Sardinian coastline within a couple of minutes of leaving your hotel room. To help guests enjoy their time on the beach, the hotel can provide sunbeds and umbrellas should you wish.

A day taking in the sights, or even just sunbathing, is nicely rounded off by dinner in this Sicilian accommodation's highly reputed restaurant, which affords fantastic sea views, the ideal accompaniment for the freshly prepared local specialities that have earned the place its good name. Double rooms come in three categories, executive, comfort and suite, and there are also triple and quadruple rooms available, all of which come with breakfast included in the price.
