Study Abroad, ISTITUTO EUROPEO; ACA SUMMER 2011 Algerho Sardinia.

If you’re looking for Paradise look no further than Alghero Sardinia this is a great spot for a romantic getaway, relaxation or to live the Jimmy Buffet Dream. My fiancé and I spent two days here, this was not nearly enough time you need at least 5 to 7 days. Although with in those two days were toured the whole town of Alghero and went to three amazing beaches. The people in Algerho are extremely friendly and act as if you’re a part of their family, a women in her 80’s struck up a conversation with us. She was very interested in who we were and very willing to tell us her whole life story. In addition, she explained to us a little about Sardinia what she liked about and didn’t like. My fiancé and I very thrilled to talk to her due to the fact that this is the best information one can get about a place they are visiting. You will not find this in America; people are too busy to stop and talk to you and give you advice on what to do during your stay. She explained that most Sardinian food is fish based, and that they serve the best grilled fish. She also told us that Sardinia has some of the best beaches, and that two days here is not long enough. The views in Sardinia are beyond breath taking, if you asked me to describe a utopia it would be Sardinia. One of the best beaches to go to in Algerho is Le bombarde, it is a meeting place for all locals and is very laid back area with some of the best water and sand. It takes about 15 minutes by bus to get there but is well worth it.


There are many restaurants in Algerho one of the best places we ate was at Mirador, at little restaurant outside overlooking the sea. This is a very popular restaurant, and most of the time you have to wait at least 15 minutes. However during your wait they give you white wine to enjoy while staring at the beautiful water. The second place to eat is at Movida, where it is tucked into a wall which resembles a wine cellar. The food is unbelievable and reasonable priced. Lastly, enjoy the seafood, it is some of the best I have had in all of Italy, everything is freshly made with great natural seasonings.
