Hotel Valkarana, Sant'Antonio di Gallura - Sardegna hotels

Hotel Valkarana, near Sassari

Hotel Valkarana, near Sassari, is perfect for a walking holiday due to its location next to Lake Liscia and surrounded by the oak and olive groves of the Sardinian countryside. The Emerald Coast is also only 13 kilometres away, for days on the beach or exploring the bays.

The hotel is close to the small, quiet village of San Antonio di Gallura, and its relative remoteness creates an idyllic getaway from city life. You can go for long walks on the 18th century tracks around the lake and explore the surrounding countryside. More accomplished ramblers are spoilt for choice. There are treks which take you up into the mountains to archaeological sites such as the Nuraghe fortified wall, 340 metres above sea level, and to sites such as the Giants Tombs of Coddi Ecchju. If you're looking for a more relaxed vacation then Sardinia's Emerald Coast is renowned for its beautiful white sandy beaches and picturesque bays. Porto Rotondo is perfect for families, with a popular beach and friendly restaurants, whilst Porto Cervo is home to elegant yachts and exclusive boutiques.

The Hotel Valkarana has 18 doubles, with smart rooms and comfortable Sardinian style furnishings. There are two suites which are especially spacious, and most of the rooms offer picturesque views of Lake Liscia. After an enjoyable day trekking or relaxing on the beach, you can savour one of the restaurant's mouth watering dishes. They serve traditional Sardinian dishes, such as roasted suckling pig in local spicy sauces, with a mesmerising view of the lake ... perfect for a romantic evening.
