Villa Asfodeli Hotel De Charme

"From Nat Geo’s alternatives to Amalfi: “Villa Asfodeli is a beautiful albergo diffuso (‘scattered hotel’) centred around an art nouveau mansion in teeny Tresnuraghes. From £71, B&B. Sardinia’s wild west is an astonishingly varied place. Start in Carbonia in the south — a mining town of blocky, rationalist buildings with the fascinating Museo del Carbone based in the former Serbariu mine, where visitors are led through underground tunnels. From there, head west up the not-for-the-faint-hearted coastal road, which lurches round the cliffs to Portixeddu. History buffs will love the San Giovanni di Sinis peninsula halfway up the coast, where the Roman city of Tharros still overlooks a sweeping sandy beach, and the museum at Cabras houses mysterious sculptures of ancient warriors, known as the ‘Giants of Mont’e Prama’. Further north, towards Bosa, the road ripples through Amalfi-style villages unfurling down the rockface. At the top of the drive, you’ll find the chocolate-box seaside town of Alghero, and the coastal wilderness of Porto Conte Regional Natural Park.”"
