Alghero: Visiting is a Dream, Parking is a Nightmare. Here is the Smart Alternative

Love Alghero but hate ZTL fines? Villa Malvasio (Sassari Li Punti) is your strategic base: free parking, no stress, just 25 mins away.

Alghero is stunning. But staying there? Think twice.

Everyone loves Alghero: the sunset on the ramparts, the Neptune's Grotto, the coral. It is a must-see in Northern Sardinia. However, many tourists make a classic mistake: thinking that to "experience" Alghero, you must sleep inside Alghero.


The reality, especially in high season, comes with a heavy price tag:

  1. The Parking Nightmare: Circling for 40 minutes to find a spot (often costing €20/day) or risking heavy fines in the ZTL (Restricted Traffic Zones).
  2. The Noise: The historic center is beautiful, but incredibly noisy and crowded until late at night.
  3. The Logistics Trap: If you sleep in Alghero and want to visit Stintino or Castelsardo the next day, you first have to fight your way out of city traffic.


This is why smart travelers are choosing Villa Malvasio, strategically located in the urban district of Sassari Li Punti.


The "Compass Theory": Why Li Punti Wins

Imagine placing a compass on the map of Northern Sardinia. The perfect center is not on the coast, it is at Li Punti. Choosing our Urban Villa as your base camp means:

  • Alghero is 25 mins away: Thanks to the fast road (SS291), you reach the walls faster than finding parking in Alghero center.
  • Stintino is 35-50 mins away: You avoid the coastal traffic bottlenecks.
  • Castelsardo is 35 mins away: A straight, easy drive to the East.


We are just 400 meters from the SS131 exit, yet immersed in quiet privacy.


Visit them all, sleep in luxury (and save)

Here is what guidebooks don't tell you: the Value for Money. For the same budget as a small, standard room in Alghero (often with no parking), at Villa Malvasio you get a superior experience:

  • Private Video-Monitored Parking: Your car (or motorcycle) is safe, right at the gate. Free of charge.
  • Total Relaxation: Return from the crowded beaches to a peaceful oasis with a pool and garden.
  • Comfort Upgrade: Why settle for less? Enjoy our Suites with Jacuzzi or spacious outdoor areas.


The Verdict Visit Alghero, enjoy dinner on the ramparts. But when it's time to rest, leave the chaos behind and return to your Urban Villa in Sassari.
