You think Italy couldn’t get any more romantic, glamorous or magical....and then you visit Sardinia. This wildly beautiful island offers a slice of otherworldly paradise right in Mediterranean waters. Dreamy landscapes and jewel-coloured waters frame the slow pace and distinctly unique culture offering up all that is wonderful about Italy through a new island filter. To experience its most mesmerising shores, it’s all about the Emerald Coast on the northeastern tip, where the palatial Hotel La Vecchia Fonte **** just happens to be waiting.
The port town of Palau is full of vibrancy and charm for the perfect seafront setting. Colourful buildings embrace the bay where the bright turquoise waters are speckled by the gleaming hulls of boats. Just a stone’s throw away, your hotel offers lovely views of this scene, which changes with the colours of the day. Named after the antique fountain that sits at the town’s centre, it reflects the ancient roots of the island while placing contemporary comfort at the forefront.
In rich, earthy Mediterannean hues, the hotel makes a striking first impression. A highly tasteful and elegant traditional Italian style runs throughout with spacious rooms, soft ochre walls and large windows that let the soft golden light stream through. There are also fitting nautical elements with old maps and hand-decorated wooden porthole-style doors evoking the long tradition of Palau’s seafaring community.
You are in a prime position to access all of Palau’s bars, restaurants and shops. And beyond that the beauty of the Emerald Coast and the breathtaking islands of the Arcipelago di La Maddalena await. At the end of each wonderful day soaking up the island ambience, you can return to the comfort of your room or stop off for a taste of local wine in the hotel’s relaxing lounge bar where light piano music and the sound of the waves will make for the perfect end to your day. Hotel La Vecchia Fonte **** is your gateway to unforgettable moments spent uncovering Sardinia’s secrets.
