Arc de San Martí

Forty steps above Via Cavour in Alghero's medieval Catalan quarter, Arc de San Martí occupies a first-floor apartment inside a historic building — a self-contained base for couples or solo travellers wanting to live inside the old walled city rather than sleep near it.

The kitchen runs to stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and a coffee machine, letting guests cook with Sardinian market produce from the nearby Mercato Civico. A private entrance, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and a dining table make longer stays practical without friction.

Alghero's coral-sand beaches are a five-minute walk through the bastion gates; Piazza Civica and the Catalan-Gothic cathedral of San Michele are closer still. Fertilia airport sits roughly 12 km out, reachable by bus from the old town — manageable without a hire car.
