Hotel Resort Valle Dell'Erica, Palau, Sardinia

Hotel Resort Valle Dell'Erica, near Palau

Hotel Resort Valle Dell'Erica is near Palau on the northern coast of Sardinia - unarguably one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in Europe. This resort hotel is on the borders of the National Marine Park of the Archipelago of La Maddalena, and looks onto the uninhabited Mediterranean isle of Spargi. It's 4km from the lovely little village of Porto Pozzo, which has shops and a tourist port, and is 12km from Santa Teresa di Gallura, the buzzing tourist town at the heart of this ancient region of Gallura.

Valle dell'Erica was the first tourist village in Sardinia, built in 1958 (in those days you could still build a few yards from the sea). During the sixties it was a chic, stylish venue, with kings and princes among the visitors. In 2005, the resort was completely renovated by Delphina (which runs a number of high-quality resort villages on Sardinia). The aim was to offer the latest comforts while reinforcing the feel of a resort in tune with its surroundings and the traditions of Sardinia. And this is still a most exclusive resort.

Rooms are doubles or suites, with a variety of specifications available. All have minibar, phone, TV, bathroom and air conditioning. You can spend hours unwinding at the Thalasso and Spa Centre, with Jacuzzi, massage, Hammam, sauna, Turkish/steam bath and thalassotherapy (seawater treatments). There is also a gym, mini golf and snorkelling. The hotel has WiFi internet access, laundry and ironing service, meeting and banqueting facilities and there is a souvenir and gift shop. And with a playground for children, large secure green and garden areas, a terrific mini club and children's pool, there is loads to keep the young ones happy.
