Hotel Sant’Angelo, Muravera, Cagliari, Sardinia

Hotel Sant'Angelo, near Cagliari

Lying within a beautifully green valley in the heart of Sardinia, Hotel Sant'Angelo is in Burcei (Cagliari). With tumbling rivers, wonderful views and little paths leading to ancient archaeological remains, there is enough to keep everyone occupied - and that's before you head out to explore the rest of Sardinia.

Here you are amid the perfume of juniper, myrtle, wild olive trees, holm oak, cork and strawberry trees and purple heather. The gentle song of the birds only seems to welcome the visitor. Although tucked away inland, you are perfectly placed for reaching the beach at Cala Figu Torre Salina (just a few minutes away), and are very close to Muravera. This is the typical Sardinia, and that's reflected in the delights in store at the restaurant. Local gastronomic specialities include wild boar sausages, smoked bacon, sweet and bitter honey, myrtle liqueur, goat's cheese, and a huge range of vegetables and fruits including cherries from Burcei and oranges and lemons from Muravera.

Rooms at this Sardinia hotel are doubles or triples, on a bed and breakfast or half board basis. All have minibar, bathroom, safe, satellite TV, phone, air conditioning, iron, work desk and hairdryer. The hotel has the restaurant of course, but also a bar, luggage storage, garden, rooms for guests with limited mobility, and the hotel is non-smoking throughout. Nearby you'll find horse riding, walking and canoeing, fishing and cycle rental available. The front desk can organise airport transfers and dry cleaning.
