Hotel Porto Conte
Designed to look out to sea, the Hotel Porto Conte is protected by the gentle shade of the trees and enveloped by the intense fragrance of the Mediterranean maquis. Horseshoe-shaped, the main part of the two-storey hotel plays host to the communal areas, including the reception desk, the spacious lounge area, the kitchen, the restaurant, the bar and the wide terrace that stretches out towards the swimming pool and the beach.
The hotel is bordered by arches and porticos where, shaded from the sun, you can sit and read or simply savour the panorama as you breathe in the soft sea air. The walls are whitewashed to keep them looking fresh and to integrate them into the delicate harmony of the surrounding environment. The highly original architecture of the hotel is very much in keeping with the local style and is enhanced by clear references, in terms of the lines and colours used, to the construction techniques of the Catalan and wider Mediterranean traditions.
The hotel's styling is an encapsulation of the creative ingenuity of Antonio Simon Mossa, the eclectic Sardinian architect who was responsible for the design of the "Escala del Cabirol", the staircase that provides access to Neptune's Caves and the renovation of the Cathedral and other churches. The design is intended to embellish the colours, spaces and shapes of the entire complex with a view to creating a sense of harmony with the wild natural landscapes and seascapes that provide the stunning backdrop.
Is there anything more enjoyable than going to the beach without the stress of having to take the car and lug heavy bags around? Put on your bathing suit and flip flops, take a short stroll and find yourself in next-to-no-time on an enchanting beach facing the bay, where you can lie back and take the sun without a care in the world. A long stretch of beach, reserved for the use of guests at the hotel, which is fully equipped with sun loungers and parasols and faces out across the clear blue sea.
With Mount Timidone in front of you, and the harbour and bay of Porto Conte off to the side, there's nothing better than lying back and enjoying the magic of this place as you sip on a drink.
The swimming pools allow you to kick back and enjoy the sun, relax after a dip or play in the water with your children. At Hotel Porto Conte, you don't need to go to the sea to take a dip, because the hotel plays host to two swimming pools, one of which is a paddling pool for children, that are fully equipped with sun loungers and parasols.
Two tennis courts (with lighting), minigolf course, bowls court, playground, landing-stage for pleasure crafts. Sports, entertainment and excursions.
Moreover, there is also a snack bar where you will find drinks and snacks to make your pool-side relaxation even more enjoyable.
