Villa Las Tronas Hotel

Περιγραφή ξενοδοχείου

The Hotel Villa Las Tronas is  a 4 star Hotel positioned on a private peninsula close to the centre of Alghero.



History

The Villa Las Tronas Hotel was, until the 1940s, the residence of Italian Royalty during their holidays in Sardinia. Built towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Villa was erected on a private promontory, a few paces away from the centre of Alghero. Its park, suitably enclosed and with controlled accesses, separates it from the town's traffic and creates a secure, exclusive oasis; the piers and terraces over the sea favour bathing in the summer and sport fishing in the winter, while the old dockyard, although partially sandy, is suitable for mooring small crafts.

The Villa Las Tronas Hotel conserves the historic atmosphere of an aristocratic buen retiro and guarantees its guests peace, tranquillity, rest and the enchanting view of a gulf that has been defined as the most beautiful of the Mediterranean Sea.
