About Alghero

Alghero lies on the north western coast of the island of Sardinia, which is famed for its combination of beauty, history and mystery. Sardinia is an Italian island, but a great deal of the culture is different to Italy, and much closer to what you would experience in rural parts of southern France. The culture is laid back and relaxed, with a big focus on family, and an equally large focus on food. The island is well known for its unique cuisine that blends traditional Italian influences with the ready available sea food that comes in fresh each day to provide a great mix of flavours to suit all palates.

Many people travel to Alghero in order to tour Sardinia at their own pace, and if you are planning to drive around, it is important to book your hire car in Alghero before you travel to the island. The airport is comparatively small, and stock of the most popular models, so if you want to book a convertible for the duration of your stay, it is vitally important to book well in advance to avoid disappointment.

There is a choice of car rental companies operating in the airport, and they all have their offices within the arrivals hall after you have passed through baggage reclaim and passport control. Hertz, Europcar, Avis, Maggiore, Ruvioli, and Autoleggio, are the choices that you have inside the airport, and there are also other local companies in the area which you can access via a free shuttle service.

Once you have a car, you have access to the whole of the island where popular day trips include a visit to the Isola Asinara, which can be reached from the remote town of Stintino, which is well known for the artistic atmosphere of the town and it is a great pace to pick up some paintings as souvenirs of your holiday in Sardinia. If you head south from Alghero rather than north, you can explore the west coast of the island and visit quiet towns such as Bosa or Oristano with their beautiful beaches and views over the Mediterranean.
