Sardinia is not just about emerald waters; it is an island of stone, silence, and ancient spirituality. The North-West offers a "Golden Triangle" of medieval architecture where Pisan Romanesque meets Catalan Gothic. Staying at Villa Malvasio, you are in the perfect center to explore these three gems in one weekend.
1. Porto Torres: The Romanesque Giant (San Gavino) Just 15 minutes from us stands the largest and oldest Romanesque monument on the island (11th Century).
- Why it's unique: It has two apses facing each other and no main façade!
- Must-See: The 17th-century Crypt housing the relics of Roman martyrs in ancient sarcophagi.
2. Sassari: Cathedral of San Nicola (The Chameleon) In the heart of Sassari's old town.
- The Surprise: An elaborate Spanish Baroque façade ("theater of stone") that hides an ancient Gothic interior with soaring ribbed vaults.
- Tip: Don't miss the Church of Santa Maria di Betlem, home to the UNESCO "Candelieri" festival.
3. Alghero: The Catalan Heart A 25-minute drive takes you to the "Barceloneta" of Sardinia.
- San Francesco Cloister: A peaceful 14th-century oasis with golden sandstone columns.
- The Cathedral: Famous for its octagonal bell tower. Climb it at sunset for a breathtaking view over the red rooftops and the sea.
