Old town secret garden

An apartment carved into a centuries-old palazzo on Via Minerva, Old Town Secret Garden sits in Alghero's walled Catalan quarter — a two-minute walk from the sea-facing ramparts and close to the coral-jewellery lanes of the historic centre, a natural fit for couples or small families wanting a self-catering base with genuine neighbourhood character.

The apartment wraps around a private garden courtyard, with a furnished patio for outdoor dining and BBQ evenings. Inside, tile and marble floors, a full kitchen with oven and stovetop, washing machine, and a fireplace give the stay a residential feel that hotels in this price bracket rarely match.

Alghero's old town is compact: the fish market, cathedral, and aperitivo bars on the bastioni all fall within a ten-minute walk. Beach chairs are provided for the sandy stretches of Spiaggia di San Giovanni, reachable on foot heading north along the coast road.
