Sardinia in a Nutshell
The Sardinian capital, Cagliari has a historic old town, busy port and one of the island’s best beaches. The sweeping stretch of sand at Poetto has great summer nightlife, and just inland is Molentargius lagoon, where flamingos nest against the backdrop of the city.
Cagliari is spread over a small hill and the oldest part – Quartiere Castello – lies at the top. There are far-reaching views from Bastion San Remy, its main entrance point. Medieval city walls lead from here to the simple cathedral, and nearby is the 18th-century Palazzo Regio.
By one of the original city gates is the National Archaeological Museum, housing a collection of Phoenician and Roman artifacts from the city’s Tuvixeddu Necropolis. There are also displays of the nuraghic civilization whose former dwellings pepper Sardinia. The most impressive is Su Nuraxi north of Cagliari.
Just outside the walls are remains of a Roman amphitheater, next to the university botanical gardens. Orange tree-lined streets descend the hill towards the seafront where restaurants and bars can be found. Cagliari FC play at Sant’Elia Stadium along the coast and opposite is the Sardinia International Fair, an important conference venue.

Castillo was a major disappointment.
Castillo was a major disappointment. Very few shops open. Sites and museums average. Dry tough climb in hot weather and not worth the day we stayed to explore. Marina district very touristy but what you expect. Drove the southwest coast and it was beautiful

Cagliari is a beautiful city with great restaurants in between it's little winding roads in the center. Easy to take a nice walk along the port or take a bus or car to go to many nearby beaches. A city full of history.

A fascinating city with many layers of history and rich in culture, not to mention its position ten minutes away by car or public transportation to the Beautiful Poetto beach and flamingo habitat. We loved that it isn't as flooded with tourists as other cities on terraferma. So much to explore and do in the city alone, no less the immediate surroundings. It's a very walkable city with a diversity of restaurants, cafes, trattorie, etc. where one can eat "al fresco." There are many types of restaurants as well, and the food is generally of high quality. We like to seek out traditional cooking and we weren't disappointed; especially enjoyed Antica Cagliari.

Cagliari is a very nice town with different Things to do and see. The city was not so buisy as many Italian cities at the mainland used to be. People was very friendly and Nice. The prices was good, and we felt we did not pay to much at restaurants. The old town is absolutely a place to visit, and there you will find an amazing view, nice restaurants, cafes, gelateria etc. There are also nice museums, cathedral and other landmarks who deserve to be enjoyed.
It's easy to walk around in Cagliari, and the distances are walkable.

“I stayed here for one night before sailing to Greece in a small sail boat. The staff were charming, kind, friendly and obliging. I would recommend this small, modern and well furnished hotel without hesitation. They even took me to the marina on the next day and would not accept any additional payment from me. A real gem.”
“Staff was incredibly helpful with everything! They knew everything about transportation, tours, restaurants, etc. in the area... all of their recommendations were great! The property is beautiful and Poetto Beach is steps away. Easy bus transport into downtown Cagliari.”
“Staff and entire facility were excellent, exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was wonderful. Bar and staff were great. Location was convenient. Very clean hotel as well.”
“Sitting close to the walls of the Castello in the historic section of Cagliari Efamoresca is close to all the beautiful sites and the harbor of the city. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and we got helpful hints on restaurants, day trips and more from our warm hosts who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable”
