Miss Walsh, Hotel Carlos V
Beautiful hotel, was extremely happy with the room we got when we arrived. Staff where really friendly & helpful. Every morning there was a large choice for the breakfast. Location was very good for walking into the centre of Alghero, its roughly a 10 min walk. I would recommend this hotel.

Large, modern and well maintained hotel. Just a ten minutes or so from the historic walled city of Alghero. Large range of food available at breakfast. We took dinner at the hotel one night and were impressed by the quality of the meal and the way it was so well presented.

It is the first time we have used Just Sardinia. You were recommend to us and the whole experience could not be faulted. From the beginning of the booking process, through to the extremely helpful tour rep (Coleen) whilst we were there, it all was most enjoyable and we would recommend your holidays to others wanting to visit Sardinia.
