The regional capital of Oristano (20 minutes) with its old churches, elegant squares and winding streets is worth a day trip. The ruins of the ancient town of Tharros (40 minutes) also make an interesting day out.

For shopping Oristano has lots of smaller independent shops, which make a welcome change to the usual chain stores. The city has a fantastic market, the Mercato Civico, where you will be able to pick up the best and freshest local produce.

Alghero Airport is a 2-hour drive from the resort. Airport transfers can be arranged. A damage deposit of 100EUR has to be paid locally.
