Il Giardinetto

I've been there for 4 days last september. The weather in Alghero was not great, but the apartment was. Very clean, big, with wifi, very friendly owner, small kitchen and the possibility to leave your bags there after check out, and also to bring their towels to the beach. Also, walking distance from the city center and very quite at night, with supermarkets and bars close by. I highly recommend this place.

Stayed for a week in September and it was a real wrench to leave. Our initial contact was with Gianluca who provided detailed instructions of how to get to the property by various means of transport with costs for each. We decided on the bus as it only cost €1 and not only did Gianluca tell us which bus to get but also sent a map of the walk from the bus stop in town to the apartment. (10 mins) On our arrival we were met by the owner Guiseppe and shown to our apartment and given a little time to settle before being visited by his wife Vincenzina who proceeded to make us some lovely coffee while giving us some local information. Vincenzina had a town map for us would some great places to eat and visit marked on it, she even had the prices marked! No kickbacks from eateries or tour guides here, every bit of information we received saved us money! To add to the value, we were offered the use of bicycles free of charge from the collection in the garden. Also, umbrellas were provided and seeing we had only travelled with hand luggage, Vincenzina gave us 2 beach towels. A generous welcome pack with coffee, milk, water and pastries and free wi-fi were also included. Kitchen had gas hob, microwave and fridge. Living area had sofa and tv, bedroom also had tv. Bathroom was spacious with shower, toilet, bidet and basin. I note from an earlier review that someone complained about the lack of hot water. We had no problems at all with the water, sometimes you just needed to give it a minute to heat up. The location was great too! 10 mins walk one direction to the old town and 10 mins in another direction to the beach. Supermarket is only 2 mins away and great pizza place only 1 min away. On our last day we checked out at 10.30 as stipulated but as our flight was not until evening we were given the key of a bathroom to freshen up/shower before departure and also to store our bags. This is not a 5 star hotel. It's a well ran, comfortable,clean establishment ran by good people with some nice extras thrown in. Recommended.

Stayed here for a week in July 2015. We were more than happy with the place and especially with the warm welcome from the owners. Since we traveled around by car, the location was perfect, 5-10min walk to old town (you can't drive in old town). The room had a working kitchen, tv and Wi-Fi. We arrived very late and where happy to find a welcome pack with some basic products like milk, water, coffee. We can recommend the place to everyone, all in all, great place, great host, great value for money.
